I walked in to meet a group of friends a couple of weeks back. I sat at the bar with them in the hopes of getting a cup of coffee while we waited for a patio seat to open up. There were only four of us at the bar and, in five minutes, I asked my friends whether or not they thought the bartender would ever acknowledge my existence. They said they had to ask him to get served to. Again, nobody else was at the bar. Not only that but when one of my friends got up see whether or not a table was opening up the same bartender told her that it was HIS job to look, not hers. Needless to say we left exact change on the bar and went down the street to a place that wanted our business. I'll never go back.
