Old Creeps In Bars
You were the older-than-middle-aged dude calling much-younger female bartenders “darlin’” and buying drinks for 20-something (also female) patrons you didn’t know. I was the poor schmuck you stood next to (thanks!) who got to listen to your oozy maneuvers. Ya know, pal, the fact that bartenders and servers are female, friendly and “gorgeous” (as you pointed out repeatedly) is NOT an invitation for gross old goblins like you to act like pathetic creeps. Have you heard the SNFU song “She’s Not On The Menu”? No? Look it up! And next time you’re out for Saturday afternoon bevvies, treat your servers like the people they are, not the decorative objects your shriveled old-man dink wants them to be. /Anonymous

SHE’S NOT A SEX OBJECT BUT A PERSON TOO Queen City Confidential is an open forum for Prairie Dog readers to anonymously over-share their stories and feelings: we suggest true tales of failed romance and exasperating interpersonal situations, rants about trivial pet peeves and petty injustices, constructive criticism for complete strangers or even anonymous gratitude for something nice someone did. In a pinch we’ll even print secret messages to your friends. E-mail confidential@prairiedogmag.com (type CONFIDENTIAL in the subject field). Change all the names and identifying details. Submissions must be 100-200 words long and will be edited, though hopefully not much.
*QCC submissions are NOT letters to the editor. Send (signed!) praise, criticism and miscellaneous comments on Prairie Dog articles — including this — to feedback@prairiedogmag.com.
