This happened today. My mom loved Tomas so much. When we called to tell him she died he was so sweet to offer doing the reception after her funeral. We of course were going to pay him handsomely. She really wanted to make it to him new bar Tomas but she got too sick to sick for us to take her. So we were at her grave sight for 3 hours. We had the most beautiful ferment for her. Yes we were not on time. My nephew was parked and watched Tomas leave lock up the restaurant and close the parking lot. We called him about 10 times. He wouldn’t answer and then sent one of his servers over to meet us in the parking lot to say he would not accommodate us because we did not give notice. It was hugely disappointing but not as disappointing as just having to bury my mother. The owner of the Local happened to be walking by and heard what happened and he immediately opened up his restaurant and had bartenders there with wide open smiles and love in their hearts. We had indeed a place to land regardless. It made me realize how it was possible for Tomas’ to be kicked out of ownership of his previous restaurant. I feel sad for him. To have treated someone who loved him so poorly in a real hour of need. I will never try to visit bar Tomas again. 😢
