1 /5 nickunderscorem100: Not sure whats up with the pool league people. We were there at three pm to play 2 or 3 games and grab an appetizer. At 3:05, the least pleasant woman Ive spoken to told us that we needed to move tables because of pool league. League starts at 5pm. Not sure why the table being empty for a few hours was essential, even though we said we were leaving after our food and a couple of games.
When several people at my table went to smoke and I was racking, she and her husband felt the need to come over and remind me personally about 6 more times that they needed the table. I said we knew and were leaving after this game. She proceeded to tell me several more times about league. When I told her to stop saying the same thing at us more than a dozen times, she proceeded around the bar on a pity party tour that we were being mean at her. The presumed staff member then came to ask how we liked our food. The food was good, but the taste in my mouth is not.
We come to Mattoon maybe twice a year, we like to play pool, and we like to eat here. If the apparent justice league is playing here though itll be an ordeal if you just want to play a few games.
Maybe put up signs, reserve the room, leave one or two tables open to the public. Something.
