This past Friday, my group of summer camp students and I stopped at The Pit to eat lunch. We had come from a field trip in the area and many of the surrounding businesses had power failures. This place was close by and didn't appear very busy.
I had never been to this place before and will never set foot in it again.
The owner/manager refused to serve my summer camp students. She claimed that since some had brought their own food, we could not have a ""picnic"". I repeatedly informed her that we would be buying food for a lot of the kids who did not have lunch. She continued on with attitude (pointing fingers in my face) and asked what would she do with her paying customers (the place was not full or busy - we have proof of it on video) until she finally told me ""let's see where you end up"". I guess meaning she would take our order and see how much we ordered and decide if we got served food based on that?! This whole encounter with a woman so disrespectful, ignorant, fearful and cruel turned my stomach. I loaded my kids back on the bus and gave the $$ to McDonalds instead.
Besides being prejudiced (one of our Cuban teachers told her she was racist and that her behavior in front of kids was shameful) and not serving children (some Mexican, some Columbian, some Puerto Rican, some Black, and some Dominican) she is an awful business person for refusing paying customers during a recession. I had to select 1 star but really you deserve to be served none.
