"We called from the local ice rink because we didn't want to overwhelm a diner on Sunday morning and had to wait an hour. We were told we were coming. When we arrived, we were accompanied to some kind of private space on the back (there were over 25 of us). The waitress informed us that we could not share the controls, all 25 of us sitting at three tables would have to be on a check. She also informed two parents who came in and sat at a table that they could not sit at the table where they had to sit where the other adults were. She seemed very upset that we were such a big group. We asked her about the control situation. She said we couldn't share the controls. We're a hockey team. We always share the checks and order under the player's jersey number. ALWAYS. Every restaurant we ate as a team. It's not complicated. And it's a diner coming from an ICE RINK. Whatever. She gets irritated and then tells us rudely that we don't share the check, her boss won't let her. While we thought how to pay for it as a cheque, their demeanor and attitude was just rude, and finally, we assembled the guys and went. All of us. On the way to the parking lot, some of the staff said they never said they could not share the controls. A waitress told us in the parking lot that they were suffering for inconvenience, and that if we came back, they and the rest of the staff would serve us, and that the division of controls was not a problem. But the damage was done. We went to the street for 6 minutes."
