The Metropolitian diner: management confrontation

[Orive 8]

Well, I always respect property rights too. We took our money elsewhere.

Agree with you 100% here. It's no problem if they don't want me and my gun in/on their property, I will go someplace else and spend my money someplace else. You did good, let your friends who are pro 2nd Amendment know - maybe they can send a short letter or email to the manager explaining to them that they too will find someplace else to eat and they too will inform their friends. Chain effect.

Someone needs to ask if they wand or metal detect everyone to ensure that "well we have a liquor license so by law you can’t have it in here. ".

You did the right thing and left. Voting with your wallet is the way to go. Perhaps you should send a copy of you bill to the metropolitian. Let them see the money yhat they lost. Sign it, the guy with the gun.

Man: look, Im just making it up as we go. In five years here I’ve never had this problem.

What problem?

After reading stories about what goes on in places in Florida when customers don't get their way, I don't think the OP handled it properly.

Yes. I did want to make it clear how much they lost. But I also want to be a good public ambassador for gun owners everywhere. I almost said something like 'I'll be sure to leave a review online', but I didn't want to reflect poorly as the gun guy.

Seemed like the guy was a real anti-gun guy, who was, in his own words, "making it up as he goes". He actually said that when I told him that PA has no law against carrying in a place that serves alcohol. I still think one of the NJ/NY patrons made a hissy fit to their waitress who then complained to management.

Maybe contact the OWNER and share your displeasure at a manager "making up laws" in order to harass you to the point it was clear that you were not welcome there.

I’d have done the same thing. Respectfully voice my dissatisfaction to the manager and then take my patronage elsewhere. Also, ask someone in my party to Twitter my negative opinion of the establishment... because, I don’t do Twitter.

Next time hit up Pho and More! Great food and cheap.

Agree with writing the owner to express dissatisfaction with his/her manager just casually making up laws to harass paying customers.

Cheap is a relative term. Before pho became, as my Asian friends put it, whiteified, we could get a bowl for $2.50. Now it's almost $8 and smaller portions. I agree that Pho & More is pretty good though. We used to go a lot when I worked at Merck.
