TEA PARTY

My wife and I met with six other members of our family for dinner out with one of our relatives that was passing through town. We decided to meet at Perkins restaurant. We were seated in the atrium area as there would be more room for us. We were rather displeased when we were blockaded by a group of about 35 people from the local contingent of the “TEA PARTY”. The wait staff worked really hard to accommodate these people even though several seemed to be quite demanding. The sad part was that of all those people taking space only four ordered a meal. The rest either had coffee or water. We found out that no notification of this meeting was given to the restaurant and that they had told the waitress there would only be a few people. We were looking forward to a nice dinner and conversation which became impossible when the meeting started. My point in this is if you are going to hold a meeting, it is only proper to contact the facility first and after the OK is given, you should at least plan on dining there. The “TEA PARTY” is supposedly trying to do things to bolster the economy. What they did to the people of Perkins and my family was thoughtless and rude.
