Dave And Busters Had me sign a deceiving contract and we were discriminated against because of our age. ripoff North Bethesda Maryland

I am having a bday party for my husband here and am doing an open bar.  The contract is somewhat confusing.  I was wondering did they have you pay the $20 per hour per guest plus the cost of the drinks?  I can understand being upset if that was the case.  In the contract it states $x per person total based on consumption. So if they did that it would be over $1000 dollars plus the cost of drinks?  I wouldnt think they would do it that way, but from what im reading on your report thats what they did?

Simply put.

-You did not understand your contract.
-Having a security guard there when confronting/addressing a large group of people seems sensible, or when confronting/addressing rowdy individual(s)
-You were stopped at the door because "walkouts" are pretty common.

Open bar simply means that the host covers the entire tab rather than having each individual pay for their drinks. Open bar does not mean that the bar covers the entire tab, or in other words all the drinks are free. I have not seen any bars where I live locally (including at D&B's) where they have "all you can drink" specials.

I can only imagine how agitated you and your guests may have been. I wouldnt put it beyond D&B yo have a company policy, whether official or unofficial where security oversees interactions between large groups of people and employees.

Some businesses penalize the server if there is a walkout. Many times the server has to pay in full. If you were the server that day im sure you wouldnt want someone walking out on a $300/$400 bill would you?

The definition of an open bar is that the host of a party or gathering will cover the entire bill for alcohol for the guest attending. That means that you have to pay for everything that you and your guests drink! Maybe you were naive in thinking you could just order whatever drinks you wanted, but if you have ever gone to a bar and walked out without a check for what you had I would like to go there! And the contracts you signed should have stated if you had an open bar or a cash bar. A cash bar is when everyone has a personal tab or they just pay as they go. Maybe you shouldn't blame this on your age or the establishment and just admit that you don't know any better!
