Buffalo Crazy

Buffalo Crazy

Came to Buffalo Wild Wings and a young man of about 18 years old asked whether I wanted to sit at the bar and so I sat at a booth in the corner of the restaurant. The server was tall, thin, had short hair and seemed to have a condition of short term memory loss because she forgot my order. There is a table right in front of me with 4 people. A grandmother and a couple with a small girl around 3 years of age. Everyone at the table was looking right at me because I was having a small argument with the server about not getting my order straight. The waiter (young woman with short blonde hair) seemed to not learn her lesson. She did not have a little notepad to right the orders there. Everybody was getting ready to watch the amazing NBA season ending that was going to happen. Everyone watched all of the news of the Warriors and Kobe Bryant's retirement. I enjoyed my time there and my wings weren't that great though. The wings did not have that much sauce. There was a group that arrived later to the restaurant and they sat at the bar drinking a lot of beer and there was actually one person that seemed to be getting drunk. It was weird to see because it seemed as if it was his first time. He really looked young like if he barely turned 21. Some girls that sat around 3 tables away from me were just staring and I think that I had seen them before in the University but just could not recall where exactly. They were just laughing the whole time and seemed to be having fun. Society nowadays, everybody is always on their phones. Those girls each had iPhones and I actually think they were either texting each other through their phones or they face-timed. Every time a girl looked at another girl then that girl checked her phone and laughed. This went on for a while. The friends at the bar were just talking about the NBA and had some arguments or maybe they were just drunk to where they did not know they were raising their voice. There was an old man that was sitting next to me and he seemed to be bothered with all the noise. I was like "Dude, If you are reading the newspapers and want peace why would you come here of all places!" He also did not get what he ordered and I noticed he did not even tip the waitress. As soon as I was about to leave a large group of people came in and seemed like if they were on a trip or something since they came in vans. I guess I was at Buffalo Crazy at the perfect time.
