Fred Babcock Vfw 5555

I went today for bingo and it was the oddest experience of my life. I don’t know about other people, but sometimes I feel like I am not really wanted in a VFW/​Legion setting. We walked in and it was like an old-​time western where the talking stops and the whole room turns to face us. We grabbed the first table we saw and someone came up and said something about the bingo. I suddenly realized that this unmarked table was apparently where they were setting up. We walked around the tiny bar and no one jumped at the chance to move over a seat so we could have 2 together. Finally, a nicer woman came up and told us we could hear the bingo from the other room. We end up being the first to sit in the dining room area. It felt like we were at the kids’ table.
More people showed up and sat at our table and ¼ of the room filled up. We had to go into the bar to get drinks, there didn’t seem to be a server outside of the bar.
The pluses:
The seniors sitting with us were polite and entertaining to listen to.
The drinks were STRONG. I felt a buzz after one small drink and a couple sips of my second.
We decided when we left that we would not be returning here for bingo. I guess it was an adventure?

Great VFW! Wonderful breakfast, lunch and dinner. Any new vet should think about joining this VFW!
