Thanks so much for organizing everything again, it is always wonderful to see you!
I'm afraid, however, that we will not be able to do the drum cow on a Saturday night any more. I was very disappointed how many people were still bringing in their own drinks and drinking beer outside, even though we totally explained to them that our business can not survive with no door charge and people not ordering from us. They stayed at the cow for 5 hours and at the end of the night the final count was in 5 hours each person only ordered about 2 drinks on average. Of course we cannot survive with that. I know that some people are very great and honest but the other ones that are cheating make it bad for everyone. We like to be very relaxed and casual but the only thing I can think is that we put a person at the door and never let anyone go outside, if you go out you cannot come back in, but honestly, it is mainly your players and their friends that are doing it and they try to tell me they have to "get something out of their car that they forgot". We either need to do a door charge, which I don't really want to do, or say if you go out you cannot come back in.
Please let me know what you think. I love you and most of the people who come but we cannot pay our rent and staff with so many people not respecting that this is a community business and trying to cheat.
I hope we can find a good way to do this so everyone can be happy! Love, Traci
○Hi Keyaki,
Thursday is not good for me, we will have about 90 people in for a wine party. Would it be possible to have the meeting at the Cow tomorrow? It won’t be so busy. If not do you have to work on Sat? If you could come sat at about 6pm, before dinner starts.
I have already hired a door staff for that night. I just can’t keep doing it the same way, it makes me soooo stressed out and the neighbors get angry and also the management company and we don’t make enough money to pay for the staff and space cause not many people ordering food and drinks. I hope everyone can understand, this is not the park! they have not respected the rules so we will have to put a security person at the gate. If many people act without respect then we have to make more rules.
