Went to some Mizzou alumni thing at some bar I'd never been to last night (alone, unfortunately because the friend I was going to go with just found out he had Covid). Had a drunk manager (possibly owner) sit at the table with that I was watching the Penguins game at who started out being all nice and friendly blah blah blah but then got real pissed off (or fake and it was all an act, idk) because she said she was taking in two Ukrainian refugees and I asked for how long instead of doing nothing but heap praise on her for doing it. Then got more mad because she asked me and some regular there for $20 to help them and I was hesitant thinking the whole thing is one big hustle (and didn't have cash and also fuck you if you're actually doing this that's your job to be financially viable to handle it).
Could not get out of there fast enough. Was hoping (and honestly kind of expecting) to get banned for not paying for that and making it an easy decision to never have to go back there.
Should add it got so bad that the nuclear option of not so subtly playing with my pocket knife in the hopes it would've scared her into just straight kicking me out didn't sound like a bad idea.
LOL. What a scam.
What time did you leave the bar?
I always make sure I'm out of any bar before midnight.
