What Keith Stokes dislikes about Idle-a-while:
To be polite, we were wearing face masks when we entered the bar. The owner immediately shouted to his wife to load the shotgun, we are being robbed. We took the joke with good grace, but the owner followed us to the table, repeatedly insulting us, talking about what BS this was, that Covid is the Democrat 's fraud and throwing menus down on the table hard. We wished him a blessed day and left. View all feedback.
