Cliff Notes: Do not go to Coyote Ugly on 6th Street in Austin TX.
So we go into Coyote Ugly on 6th Street, (I've never seen the movie) I didn't know it was a bunch of girls dancing on top of the bar with their clothes on. (If I wanted to go watch girls dance, I'd go to a place where they perform in the buff.) And I wasn't looking for that Saturday Night anyway, I wanted to hit bars to talk to girls, not watch them...
So the crew I was with was ordering beer, and I ordered two, one for me and one for another guy (leaving names out to protect their reputation) and he wanted a Michelob Light. So the beers are $3 a peice, and he hands me $4. ($1 for a tip) I look in my wallet and see there is only $1.
Now I had some pocket change, but I only had about $1.40 something..so I didn't want to leave the waitress with only a 40 cent tip. So I broke out my check card. I figured I'd put $8 on it. $2 tip plus $6 for the beer.
The waitress tells me there is a $10 minimum on a VISA (check card)..
Now I don't want to stay at this place long enough to drink yet another beer. I'd rather just drink the one, and move on to the next bar because this place was kinda cheezy. So I break out the 5 ones and the 5 quarters and other misc. change I had in my pocket...enough to tip her a little and pay for our drinks.
Now she claims they don't take change. WTF???
So I tell her I don't want the beer, and that I will give her the $4 for the other guys beer, and to just give me my card back.
I had already taken one drink out of the beer, so she tells me I have to pay, but she won't take change.
She says they'll go ahead and only charge me $6.00 on my VISA check card. So she runs my card, and then she takes my friggin beer!!!
I said I didn't want it because I was trying to get out of paying for it..but now that I've paid for it, of course I want it.
So another waitress walks by, and I ask her to give it to me, and she does..I walk off.
About a minute later, the waitress that was giving me problems comes on the PA and announces in a condesending tone that you can't get refunds on your beer and that they don't accept change...I turn around to look at her, and she starts flipping me off with both hands in this eratic motion while one hand was going up, the other was going down...all wild, like she was really pissed off at me for trying to pay with change..
It's like look woman, don't talk condesnding to me like I'm some broke mofo who can't afford a beer without digging for change. my (now ex) wife and I pulled in about $120,000 last year.
Also I've been all over the country, and in about 8 different countries, and no bar has ever told me they need a $10 minimium on my credit card or that they don't accept change..
And no waitress has ever called me out on the PA system and then flipped me off.
It took a ton of discipline not to go on a rampage. I was pissed...but I just left. Never will I return to a Coyote Ugly bar..those women are really ugly under their hottie 22 year old bodies.
argh!
