Happy Hour at the Lehigh Pub in Bethlehem, PA will from this day forward be named Crappy Hour. Not because the pub is in the black hole of fun otherwise known as Bethlehem, PA. But because, as John Wagner and Leslie Pope and a group of friends found out, patrons who don’t pay their gratuity will be arrested for theft.
Arrested for theft? Yup. Even though they weren’t stuffing silverware and pint glasses in their coat pockets. Or putting pitchers of beer on innocent strangers’ tabs. Or making off with extra packets of hand wipes and Sweet ‘N’ Low.
You see, while their server was apparently chain-smoking out back or getting sweaty in the freezer with the busboy, Leslie and John had to wait nearly an hour for their order and even needed to get their own napkins and silverware from a service station.
Our tip would have been a big F-you, too.
The owner of Lehigh’s admitted that the service was worse than deep-fried bar food, but added that it was extremely busy that night. Well, Mr. Lehigh Pub Owner, it doesn’t look like you’ll be having too many busy nights after this debacle.
It’s all Crappy Hours from here on out.
