“A “What I hate” bit you guys did on the pod a while ago happened to me last night. Wife and I wanted to celebrate our wedding anniversary and went to a local well-known establishment in Tampa to watch Game 1 of Lightning v. Panthers. We get there in plenty of time, seated at the bar and about puck drop wife looks at her watch and says “I wonder if they’re going to put the game on.” I asked the bartender the same and he says “Me too.” I asked the manager walking by and she and another employee proceed to fumble with the remotes and all of a sudden that commotion ends and - no game. Now, 5 tvs. 3 are playing a Rays replay game, 1 is doing NBA talk, and 1 is playing a cornhole tournament. Come on. Manager is now nowhere to be found and when coming into sight, avoids me like the plague. So, I then stream the game on my phone propped up between my wife and I on the bar and the bartender asks, “what are you watching?” To which I said “the game!” He then walks away. A foursome then walks in wearing Lightning gear and asked if they were going to put the game on and the manager gave a sorrowful response and the group walked out. Restaurant easily missed out on a couple hundos between my wife and I and that group. We quickly ate our grub, paid, and walked across the street to finish out the game at another spot. SOMEBODY has to be able to work the tv’s especially in playoff time at a restaurant that is less than 4 miles from the arena. Get it done. Thought you guys would appreciate this.”
