      My daughter celebrated her 21st birthday, and we decided to visit Pinstack at the ***** location. When we arrived we were advised there would be a wait for the bowling lane due to the number of guests. The attendant, ******, said he would text us when our lane was ready. We waited for an extended period and went to check the status. ****** advised he forgot, but was dismissive and somewhat rude about the ordeal. We decided that would not be enough to ruin our night. We proceeded to the lane and ordered food. ***** was our waiter. He was also rude when taking our order.Additionally, he insisted that we pay before we receive our food! I did not understand this, because the other guests weren't asked the same. We advised we would pay once we received our food, which is customary. When it was time to pay our bill, my niece gave ***** ****, he snatched the money and rolled his eyes. I'm not sure what precipitated this treatment, but it was disrespectful, to say the least!

      Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2022/11/03) */
      To Whom it May Concern,

      In regards to Case # ********: ****** *****, I have attached all information and evidence regarding our continued efforts to make contact with the guest in question and resolve her issue that occurred in our center on Sunday October 23rd 2022.

      Included on Pages 1-2 is the claim report and timeline sent to us by the BBB, On page 2 you will see that the guest in question ****** ***** says that she received a 20% discount on her dinner as well as 4 complimentary game cards. She also mentions that she mailed in a certified letter *can be seen on pages 3-4* and also that she has not yet been contacted by Management in regards to the incident that occurred on Sunday October 23rd 2022.

      On Page 5, I have attached an email from Tristin M*****, the manager who was on duty at the time of the incident. The 3rd paragraph includes his side of the story and all of the evidence we have in regards to any misconduct that may or may not have occurred.

      Pages 6-8 include 3 separate attempts to contact ****** ***** via email to discuss the incident that occurred on Sunday October 23rd 2022 in our center. Page 6 is an email sent from Tristin M***** on Monday October 24th 2022, the day following the incident. Included in his email is an invitation for ****** ***** and her family to come back out and enjoy our facility on us, he has offered 1 Hour of complimentary bowling, 4 more additional complimentary gamecards as well as 1 complimentary appetizer. Pages 7 and 8 include emails sent from Casie A**** the General Manager, the first being sent on Monday October 24th 2022 and a follow-up that was sent on Wednesday November 2nd 2022.

      Page 9 included a copy of the itemized receipt for ****** ***** and her family showing evidence of the 20% discount added to her bill.

      Unfortunately We do not have any concrete evidence in regards to any obscenities or threats made towards the guest in question; ****** ***** and we have not yet received a response from her in regards to incident that occurred on Sunday October 23rd 2022 in our center.

      Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
