I'm terrible at writing shorter stories, but I'm going to try....
Fiance, myself, and her family went out for her birthday on Sunday. She teaches at the closest highschool to the restaurant. We usually run into past and present students when we go to this joint. This is her 4th year teaching and for the most part, her classes are freshman only. She might get a few kids for various reasons (transfers, failed class before) but 95% of her students are freshman.
Next to us was a mom, a couple of girls, and a group guys that were friends with the girls. Boys sit down and order a pitcher of beer. Fiance looks over and says (paraphrase) "I wonder if they are going to get carded, because I know those kids are seniors". Server doesn't card them. She was going to let it go, even though it kind of bugged her. Hell, if I was a server I would have carded them when they asked if the place had Corona on tap.
Back to the story. She was going to let it go until the boys started being loud and obnoxious. Every other word out of their mouth was the f-bomb. They were talking about f-ing this girl and that girl and blah blah. Oh yeah, and the mom was still there. We figured she was trying to be the "cool" mom. One of the girls also bragged that "I told you not to worry. They never card us here." At that point in time, fiance had heard enough. On the way out to pay the bill, she spoke with the manager just to kind of give her a heads up. It wasn't a complaint, just a general "Hey, I wanted to let you know what's going on in your restaurant" type of thing.
You know what the manager said? "I know one of those girls is older than 21." My fiance told her that while she was pretty sure that one who was "21" was a senior in high school, she knew that the other ones were seniors for sure. We kind of got the general idea that the manager knew the mom and didn't give a damn about the underaged drinking.
Sorry about the long story, but do you think we should go over the manager's head? We aren't looking to get anything out of it of course, I'd just rather not see the restaurant get into trouble with the authorities because it is a good place to eat.
