I'm with you!! I went in this past Saturday evening around 10 PM to meet two people who had travelled here from Georgia and specifically wanted to go to Beth's, as they had been there years ago on another visit. They did not know I was coming so were seated and had just gotten their food when I arrived. They were seated at a booth for four (as that is basically all Beth's has). I asked the "waitress" for a menu and she refused, saying there was a "no joiner" policy on the weekend. I thought she was kidding as I have (nor anyone I've spoken to since) has ever heard of something so nonsensical! She went about her duties completely ignoring me, except for the occasional sneer and nasty look in my direction. The guy in the booth next to me said he had been refused service because he was in the restroom when she came and took the other members of his table's order - so three of them were served and he was not (although they did give him a milkshake, somehow.) I asked another waitress what the deal was and she reiterated this "no joiner policy." I asked to speak to the manager because I said I wasn't joining their ticket, just ordering something on my own and sitting at their table. The "manager" (the same fat, tatooed jerk you're probably alluding to) came to the table said "that's the policy, deal with it" and walked off. The first "waitress" came back (clearly trying to smooth the situation so she wouldn't lose her tip) and tried to explain this "no joiner" thing was there so that the tables could be turned over sooner - I asked her about the two people that were sitting behind us playing cards holding up a table for four. She said they came in as two people...again, this made no sense! I asked, "so you're refusing to serve me, right?" and she snarkily said, "with an attitude like that, yes." So I, a paying customer, was not allowed to order. Upon leaving I asked this "manager" who was running the register, to explain how a paying customer could not even get a cup of coffee when there were empty booths in the restaurant and no one waiting to be sat at them. He nastily said, "That's the policy. If you don't like it, don't come back!" I said he was behaving like a dick and then he called me a fag. I have never been treated so badly. Not only did this homophobic jerk belittle me in front of family, he was an absolute prick! Beth's has never been known to be more than it is and has always been accepted as such, but when someone comes in, is refused service because of some arbitrary policy and is then called a fag by the manager, there is something very wrong!!

So when you left, did you hail a cab or just take the waaaaaaaambulance home?

You don't like it, don't go back. Plenty of us do, indicated by the 55 years they've been open. And guess what? There are still hour long lines every weekend. So I'm sorry you ran out of tampons and decided to bleed all over the (aforementioned) FAN SITE about your bad experience, but guess what? No one here gives a shit.

P.S. I'll let them know they've lost two customers when I go there tonight.

WOW!! My son is here visiting from CA and wanted to go to Beth's after seeing it on the travel channel. Now I am wondering if it is a place I really want to go to. Why is everyone so rude there? Times are tough, alot of "cafe's" resturant's are trying to make it these days. It just strikes me funny that employee's of such a resturant would be allowed to treat customers in this manner. WHY is that?? Is the food that good that one want's to be treated in such a manner? SO many place's to eat... I think I will pass on Beth's unless someone can give me a reason to go other than being treated like crap.
Thanks
