Making Being Underage Appetizing

(My friends and i decide to go out to dinner at a nice bar, although we are not 21 and we don’t plan on drinking. When we arrive, we are told that after 8 pm it’s only 21+, even though I had called twice to make reservations and they had never mentioned it.)

Manager: “I am so so sorry about this. Here is my card and next time you come back we will get you some free appetizers.”

Me: “Thank you!”

(We go back two weeks later and order dinner.)

Waitress: “We have taken off the appetizers from your meal. Would you like split checks?”

Me: “Yes, please.”

(She takes off and comes back five minutes later.)

Waitress: “Actually, it looks like we are going to comp your meal for the evening. Have a good night!”

(We thanked her profusely, as they didn’t have to do that, considering it was three people each ordering something. It was a nice reminder that good people still exist.)
