      On Mon.Dec.5, 2022 @ 19:30, my wife and I attempted to place an order for Bar-B-Que at Soulman's Bar-B-Que; My wife was told despite the fact that there was insufficient Ribs to fill her Orders, she would still HAVE to pay the 'FULL Price'; When I objected to same, the Meat Cutter and a**** Counter Clerk became very disrespectful, rude, and outright belligerent; It escalated because of their blatant disrespect; I requested the Manager, a young *** came out and was further rude, and disrespectful and demanding I Leave....I stated I would taljk with the Owner and get it straight and all parties (staff) said Do it...we don't care....This matter was NOT handled professionally as I have been treated by the Owner for the past 2 1/2 years and I was not allowed to speak with him; culmination was not only was I treated extremely rudely, 'they' TRIED to CHEAT my wife, and I was forced to leave without any Bar-B-Que. I am an Honorably Discharged Viet Nam Veteran and should not have been treated like this as I spend greatly there throughout the week every single week, and I know had the Owner been there this never would've happened. As it stands, I won't ever patronize this establishment again despite it having the BEST Bar-B-Que in the State of Texas. It is my hope that when this is brought to the Owner's attention, he'll see that the 'Staff' (for want of a better word), were not representative of the fine service he exemplifies, and the way the Owner has ALWAYS treated my wife and I. The actions of the so-called Manager, Meat Cutter and Counter Clerk were reprehensible. Please help us get this matter addressed and this matter resolved. Thank You. Most Sincerely, *************, Senior Partner-Owner ******************************** (***)********* *************************************** Monday December 5th, 2022 @ 20:21
