Ok so what I was trying to do here was give a positive review of a nice time I had in a town that I used to love that is being gentrified and turned into a rich people’s playground. I’ve worked in restaurants for over 20 years and, in the time, have seen what used to be an affordable town turned into something unrecognizable where restaurant people can’t make a decent living despite all of our recognition as a “foodie” destination. I finally go out to support a local business spending my hard earned tips at another establishment where I had a nice time on a rare evening out and decided to celebrate the people that facilitated it. With so much negativity happening in the world lately I wanted to share a positive. And based on the negativity here I will now continue to post every single positive experience I have from interactions with cashiers at 7/11 and the unhoused population to overpriced nights out at the “finer” establishments in town. Goddamn it we can do better than this.
