But Davis said the waiter behaved in anunprofessional and disrespectful manner throughoutthe incident.

"The final insult was when he walked behind meto the cash register and elevated his voice,"Davis said. "The restaurant got quiet. He waspointing at me and yelling about me. I got up andleft. Nobody deserves to be treated that way."

"This waiter was so loud that the whole placegot quiet," McCreary said. "The tables around usjust stared at us. It was such a shockingsituation."

After the incident, Davis walked out of therestaurant and was followed shortly afterwards bythe entire group.

Kuelzer said the "whole table left withoutpaying," but that two students from the group didstay behind when the others leftto pay for their drinks and to apologize for thegroup's behavior.

McCreary and Kelly both said the entire grouppaid for their drinks but sent back the food theyhad ordered. Both women said at least one of thetwo individuals who stayed behind to explain whythey were not paying for the food has signed theletter against Grendel's.

McCreary said she tried to talk to the managerthat evening, but was unsuccessful in solicitingan apology.

Kuelzer said he did not witness the exchangebetween Davis and his waiter and was only calledto the bar when he was told a woman from thegroup, McCreary, wanted to speak with him.

"I met a woman who insisted on an apology. Isaid I wasn't there and would have to hear thewaiter's side of the story first," Kuelzer said.

Round Two

Two weeks later, when Smith went to Grendel's,the same waiter who the GSE students said verballyattacked Davis approached him and said, "You can'tbe in here."

Smith said he had not been with the part of thegroup that had walked out of Grendel's on Jan. 30,although he has previously gone to Grendel's withmembers of that party.

"I instantly knew that he had me confused withthe people from that group," Smith said.

Smith and his party ignored the waiter'swarning and proceeded to sit down.

"[The waiter] never came back. An [employee]came by and told us that we couldn't be there. Istarted to explain the mix-up," Smith said.
