I’m about as anal retentive as one can be and like things to be orderly. I would have put the tables back the way that I found them, but I wouldn’t have cleaned them. I would however have left a small tip and I’m assuming that you all did that too, right?

I do however believe that the owner does not realize the secret to increased revenues from returning customers and word of mouth advertising. He should have let you all leave having had your good time in his bar and welcomed you back again as you left. Being a bar owner, he should actually leave a few tables together to accomodate and welcome larger crowds.

If you really want to get under his skin, keep going back and next time carry in a small suggestion box with some tips for good business practices and leave it on the tables before you go.

expect far too much?!?!? they expected the owner of an empty bar to take responsibility for organizing his furniture. they didn’t have any more obligation to fix the tables than they did to bus the table and wash the pitchers and glasses.

Sounds like “J” does not understand a business model. You make the customers feel welcome, accommodate reasonable requests, appreciate their patronage, make a profit, then reap repeat business and new referrals.
Jason’s blog post is right on!

Ari, it’s too bad there’s no way to write about inconsiderate customers who expect far too much and become indignant when others aren’t willing to accommodate their rudeness.

Poor attitude from a business owner should be rewarded with negative feedback from the patrons.

Usually it’s just the patrons who can be assholes there. The only bar I ever almost got into a fight at, and I’m not even the fighting kind. It’s more of an old-school place, which I don’t think warrants less respect. It’s actually quite a Fenway institution.

Get all your co-workers to post a review on the website. Let’s alert the Boston crowd to this jerk!

What’s the big deal?
TC’s is a dive bar, but he manages a good dive bar.
You should at least respect his request.
You come in and move shit around and do whatever you want to do, the least you can do is put things back the way you found them.
Quit your bellyachin’ for god’s sakes.
Or, go back to TGIF!
