I'm from Ontario and have been living here for a year. I loved a certain so-called restaurant up until yesterday, at which point I felt as though I had to grow a stache to justify my age. They insisted on carding us after 10pm, which would have been fine but apparently a government piece of photo ID from Ontario does not suffice. I realize it might be policy and that your job might be on the line but your policy absolutely sucks and it's got to change if you want to keep business from any of us Ontario young-uns who happen to be living here... well, those who don't have a license. Which makes no sense, they were willing to take an Ontario driver's license if I had it but weren't willing to take my Ontario health card. WTF... it's the same province and the same government. And the health card clearly showed my photo and age. I'd dearly love to know what this province has against the Ontario health card. Nearly 28 years old, left feeling degraded by a place that I highly respected. Had gone in to have one meal and not even order any fricken alcohol! I wasn't alone either so I ended up taking my friends with me. You not only lost my business and theirs, you'll be losing that of anyone else who I happen to talk to. I'd love to even know how it's possible for anybody from Ontario (or any other province for that matter) to get their alcohol here if they don't have a license. Keep in mind I didn't even want it! Until you change your policy, I certainly won't be bringing any visitors there... felt like a bloody fool. Thanks for that. By the way, I enjoyed the same meal for less than half the price down the street after I left. Guess it was for the best after all! —Soon to Spread the Word
