View Full Version : Does anyone else experience rudeness @ Catamarans
I just wanted to know if there is anyone else out there besides my friends and myself who have seen the nasty side of catamarans. I often go to catamarans (however I dont plan to anymore) and I always have a bad experience. The people that take the money seem to always be in a bad irritable mood and they show it to you when they take your money. Its as if they absolutely hate their jobs. Now I do want to say this before I go on about the bartenders, I have never had any problems with the female bartenders at this establishment, they are very nice, friendly and seem to have fun doing their jobs. However as for some, thats right I say some not all of the male bartenders its the exact opposite, they are also rude, smart asses, and like the money takers act like they are aggravated with having to get you a drink, HELLO you are a bartender. Ok with that being said, let me say this, I have worked as a bartender for 7 years, (not currently). I know just like any other job things become overwhelming and you have your bad days, however when its easier to count your good days rather than your bad days then their is a problem. Being a bartender you have to deal with aggravating managers, drunks, and people who are completely sh*t faced. But going into that field of work you know what you are getting into, and if you dont realize it then its time to wake up and smell the bourbon and perhaps pursue a different career path. Just wanted to know if anyone else has had this type of experience with them.

Sounds like Catamaran's hasn't changed in the last 7 years. Their door guys, bouncers, bartenders - every one of them - were always a bunch of punks that were more interested in flirting up some skeezer than actually doing their jobs.

:ohwell: I've never had a bad experience, except for occassionally experiencing slow service, which is to be expected when a place is packed. From the bouncers to the waitresses to the bartenders to the shot girls, everyone has been cordial to me and smiled. Perhaps it's your attitude that's the problem? :shrug:

I'd say 90+% of the people working there are female. And I have never had any of the employees (male or female) flirt with me...the male clientele is another story. :whistle:

Sounds like a systemic problem with management. The owner is a real piece of work. I'm wondering how much he and his partner lost on that joke of a nightclub in Waldorf...

I don't think it's my attitude, I'm not a loud obnoxious person, nor am I snotty or anything like that, I'm sorry I should have put that in my original post. I'm laid back and friendly, especially when I go out drinking. I think that some of the people there just hate their jobs and it shows, theres nothing worse than people in customer service who dont like dealing with people or are'nt good at it.

Um, I dont know who vari is, but no it was'nt a slam at anybody, just saying if you work in a job dealing with customers you should probably have a friendly outgoing people personality.

He was talking about me and he was just kidding.
Right, Aps???? :boxing: :lol:
Anyway, it's not just you, Tri. When I was younger I'd go there and the bouncers or whoever these guys are would be all over me and my girlfriends. We were like, "Could you just check the IDs so we can move on here? I'll let you know when I want to date a 21 year old bouncer." :rolleyes:
The chick bartenders were more interested in chatting with their friends and flirting with the guys. And if you didn't fit into either one of those categories, guess what? You weren't getting a drink! :jet:
I haven't been to Catamaran's in years but your tale is a familiar one.

Had you thought about contacting the manager or maybe asking for another server versus just complaining to us? I myself don't know of any customer that enjoys crappy service from a rude employee.

By the way Tri, if you ask around, you will find a few SOMDers up the road a little way near Woodburns at a bar-b-que and ice cream place. :cheers:

Wouldn't do him any good. Plus, you don't have a "server" - he's talking about the bar part.
The only thing you can really do is leave it to the kids and not go back.

:yeahthat: You can't have high expectations at Catamarans. I go there to dance and have the occasional drink. It meets my needs, and I have never been treated rudely by the employees. :shrug:

CLUB V, what a fabulous idea, turning Frank's Plant World into a nightclub with a $1500 a year VIP membership!

My friend once tried to talk to the manager, he looked at her and then started talking to the beer girl, thanks for the advice but tried, I just don't go their anymore.

Well kept on thinking maybe it might get better, but it did'nt so thats why I dont go anymore.

Okay. so many complaints about Catamarans but did anyone realize that Catamarans is the ONLY niteclub in Calvert county!?!? The only place to dance and drink and have a good time? Yea, so there is the Tiki Bar, slightly better now that they have some music playing and the mai tai are to die for, but the crowd is SO OLD! Badfish- hot shooter girl but sux. I think catamarans is a great hang out! the bartendars are great and if some people didn't go in there with their panties in a bundle purposely looking to see if Cats life is as screwd up as theirs, maybe they wouldn't notice that the bartendars having a bad day!?!? Have a drink girlfriend! :lalala:
some have said that Cats has changed a little bit, but has anyone ever thought that the old farts living on the island have done everything in their power to try and make all niteclubs on the island dissapear! then where will we hang out? Monks? dont think so I would rather not get shot trying to dance and the brass rail? No thanks! The next option is driving all the way to DC or Baltimore- granted its fun- but the cops are bad enough down here!
Just a thought................p.s. to those that have experienced rudeness- its a bar not a yacht club :killingme
