I've probably been profiled before but never so blatantly. I arrived with a few friends, we grabbed a pool table, and ordered a beer apiece. My beer was flat, foamy, and tasted like it had been sitting out for a while. Upon finishing this skunky beer I waited eagerly for our server to come back to us, we were, after all, right next to the servers terminal in plain view obviously waiting for service. Alas, after about an hour and a half and only one sub par beer, it became more and more clear that we were being ignored. Meanwhile smaller parties than ours who had come in after us seemed to have no problem ordering drinks with regularity. This became rather confusing as it seemed our server had a vested interest in NOT selling us drinks, or at least it seemed she was trying her hardest to keep us thirsty. My friend jokingly pointed out that perhaps we were the wrong color to be served, and while at first I dismissed this as jumping to an easy conclusion, the more time passed, the more obvious it became that we were being straight up ignored, the more our server seemed to be proving him right. Needless to say I won't be back.
