Hi, I’m the person who got soaked in the drink that guy threw at me yesterday.
We were clearly having a good time here, enjoying a bottle of sangria we had ordered.
But suddenly, this gurl came from behind, stole our bottle, and drank it all. When I saw that, I asked what they was doing, and they just smirked and kept mocking us the entire time. Then, they poured the drink all over me, shamelessly kept laughing, and ran away.
I told them I was going to take your picture and that they’d be mocked just like he mocked us. If they couldn’t afford to be at the bar, shouldn’t have come. Did he target us because we’re Asian and thought we’d be easy to mess with?
I was absolutely shocked, but thankfully, people around us asked if I was okay and said they couldn’t understand what had just happened. They all agreed that it was clearly wrong.
So we called Grace, the manager. She witnessed the guy’s behavior but just said, “they wants to go home,” and let them leave without doing anything.
We weren’t asking for another drink or any kind of compensation. We just wanted an apology. But instead, the manager grabbed my friend’s wrist and pulled her aside to talk. When we told her that all we wanted was an apology, she simply let the guy leave right in front of us.
This bar used to be one of my favorites, but this experience was shocking and incredibly disappointing. When I later asked for the manager’s name, she finally tried to be helpful, but it was already too late. It was such an unpleasant night.
Since coming to Melbourne, we’ve never experienced racism before, but this was so disappointing.
Even if you can’t control every customer, the least you could’ve done is handle the situation with basic decency and an apology.
You need to take responsibility and ensure that incidents like this are never ignored again.
I’m never coming back here.
