We are “nautical wheelers.” We (the HOBO
types) have come to the Lake to enjoy Lake Life. Part of that life… an
important part of that life… is having places like Harbor Docks and Chuck’s to
go to… especially by boat… for camaraderie,
fun, and reasonably good food. We wheelers seek the ambience those
establishments provide. There must be a lot of us during the warm season… we
pack those places.
And when those places
are packed, the staff and facilities are often maxed out.
There has not been a time when I have been
to either, when any member of the wait staff or the management has been
wearing uniforms. Shorts, old jeans, running shoes, T-shirts… hair pulled back
and tied or clipped… the staff is as varied as the society in which they… we…
live. Most of the wait staff are just entering the work force… and some are
economically pressed to wait tables or be a host/hostess. If you were new to a sometimes grueling –
often impossible – job might you sometimes be a bit confused… or surly? Do you
think they are NOT struggling with some other life situation which is
distracting them from the pittance they get from serving YOU!
Not every dog is a friendly dog. I have
watched folks having fun… only to go vicious on the wait staff. If that person
is in my party… it will be the last time I party with them.
Owners/Management cannot
cover all of the bases (unpredictable weather and varying patronage) and
provide service that we nautical wheelers can afford. So… if you are outraged
at the young personalities and traits of the wait staff… the fact that you
sometimes find that the potties are out of paper… YOU ARE EATING IN THE WRONG
PLACE! We, the Disorderly Order of Nautical Wheelers of Lake Martin invite you
to jump into you Mercedes or Jaguar… and go pay for what you want. Scratch our salty, rollicky, fun places OFF
your list.
