Id requirement outrageous
Today i ate lunch at the Ruby Tuesdays in Fayetteville, Ga. I have been a regular customer at the Ruby Tuesdays in Peachtree City for over five years and always had a good experience (excellent food, excellent service), unfortunately they closed last year) the staff was personable and professional. The sevice I have experienced at the Fayetteville location has been deplorable each and every visit. Today's experience was the final straw. I will never ever step foot in this location again. I would rather dine at the Olive Garden across the street. This is my last experience; I sat at the bar and told the server behind the bar that I was going to have the salad bar, which I have never been dissappointed in. After my meal lunch my server gave me my bill(9.53 best deal in town) .After taking my debit card and processing it with no issues. she proceeded to say in a loud enough voice that couldhear at the bar, Mr Deters I need to see your drivers liscense. , because your signature is smeared on the back of your card. I replied its in my car and the purchase is only 9.53 and you need extra ID you must be kidding? She said no I must see your drivers liscense. I went past the hostess stand at the front door where the manager was standing, he said have a great day,thank you for coming to Ruby Tuesday. i replied not so much I have to get my ID for a 10.00 purchase. Even though he could see I was clearly frustrated and embarrased. He said well guess that's what you have to do.After I returned with my ID and gave it to the server .Even after I gave the sever my ID she took unnessary about of time inspecting my ID to insure the card belonged to me. much to my humiliation. To add insult to injury she repeatedly and loudly told me to have a "great day Mr. Deters". As I left and walked past the hostess stand,the manager was engaged in an flirtatious conversation with a female customer. He did not acknowlege me or make any comment about my obvious dissatification with what had taken place. I am a 57 year old business owner locally as well as in Anaheim California as well a customer of Ruby Tuesdays for over ten years. I have never been treated so unprofession and have recieved less scruitany going thru Atlanta Airport by TSA on my buisness trips to California. BTW, not even Waffle House, I-Hop, Denny.s or even McDonalds requires an ID for a Debit card purchase for under 25.00. Thank-you, John Deters ' .
