What is the deal with the bartender at the Pine Cone Pub? I am talking about the curly grey haired woman who looks like Marge Simpson.

Every time we have been there she has been nasty, miserable, and rude.

Is she trying to make the Pine Cone Pub the "Durgin Park of the Lakes Region"? Just to let you know Marge, those waitresses are acting, and clearly you are not.

Recently we stopped in for lunch on a Saturday. Upon entering the front door, Marge offered no hello or smile. Instead we were greeted with the statement "What can I do for you?".

After being seated, I asked about some different beers, and she responded by pointing to a shelf over the bar and walking away.

A few minutes later, while looking at the menu, the power went out. Marge marched over to our table, grabbed the menus out of our hands, and said "Guess you're out of luck".

Since the rest of the staff are so nice (we especially like Lynne), I cannot understand why the owners keep her on (unless she is an owner).

In either case, they will not see a penny of my hard earned money until Marge Simpson has left the building!

In this tough economy, when restaurants are competing for our patronage, business owners need to take notice of this type of bad behavior, and correct it; no excuses, no exceptions.

Smile Marge (if you're physically possible). It will be off season soon enough, and you won't have as many pesky customers bothering you, or tipping you, or paying your salary.

Maybe they're hiring at Durgin Park...
