The Compass

I felt discriminated against due to not purchasing alcohol there.

I had a terrible experience with this particular business. I would go to this bar/restaurant, and would order only sodas (was completely sober every time I'd go). I felt discriminated against due to not purchasing alcohol there. I was into recovery at the time. I was accused from the lady owner of the establishment of always "staying there too much". That was definitely not the case. I was lonely, just got separated/divorced and will admit I was there quite a bit. I was also accused of taking spaces at reserved tables in the evening!!?? She had also made a comment to me that other customers were also complaining due to me taking up reserved tables. I NEVER recall any tables with a sign on them saying "Reserved". And my apologies for seeming irrelevant here, but she had to make an additional shocking comment, "They were complaints from people, ESPECIALLY from the WOMEN". That in my opinion is off the charts, too much info, and I believe in my heart and soul that her comment was just to humiliate and demean me in the eyes of other women. In her defense, I will say that she had no idea that I had just got separated and headed for an eventual divorce. Nevertheless, it was just the wrong thing to say to me at the time. She had 86'd me from the establishment the very next day around noon or a little earlier. Pls. understand that this was 5 years ago. I'm complaining now because it's been building up and SERIOUSLY disturbing me this whole time!!
