These days it is hard to get my entire family all in one place. The entire summer our work schedules consumed our flexibility to spend time together. Finally, Labor day weekend the five of us were able to spend a couple hours of as a family.
My mom wanted to enjoy the weather and go try some where we usually would not go, we went to Lord Fletchers. Back when my mom was in college she worked at this resort/high-class club. The atmosphere was exactly what I was expecting from what I here about Lake Minnetonka.
The type of people who come here to eat, but mostly drink, were not the type of people I see every day. Without being too judgmental, I got the feeling that some of the people thought they were better then everyone else. It started out when I went to the bathroom with my little sister.
This place was hopping which makes sense-- it was the last holiday weekend before Summer ends. As we waited in line like everyone else this lady looked my sister and me up and down and barged in front of us like she was superior to everyone else. She then proceeded to speak obnoxiously to everyone in the bathroom that they need to hurry up so she can go to the bathroom.
A good amount of women in the bathroom gave me this wealthy vibe. They had fake looking faces from Botox injections and unnatural-looking plumped up lips, they were very nice but I could tell they were wealthy because of their appearance and the way they got dolled up in the bathroom. These are all observations, I am not against surgical beauty; I mean if you have money and want to enhance your body by all means do it. Who am I to judge.
To prove my point further about the atmosphere, when I went back to the table my sibling had left and I was sitting with my parents when we were rudely interrupted during our family dinner. At first, he approached us with a very friendly gesture but the words that came out of his mouth were baffling...
He looked down at my dad as if he was superior and during this entire interaction he continued to creepily smile with his bleached white teeth as if he was trying to keep his reputation. He asked if he could take our extra chairs and my dad explained that people were sitting there, they had just temporarily left the table.
Like a normal conversation you would think the person would say thank you and proceed to find some other chairs, however, this guy seems to have everything his way with a snap of a finger. He rudely spoke to my dad saying how about I take these chairs and you can go and he extended his sausage finger and pointed across the patio that my dad could go and retrieve some other chairs as if my dad was a dog.
This may sound really silly but the way he undermined my dad made me extremely aggravated. He continued to hustle my dad and mom and he finally left. Although during our entire dinner his young Botox snobby wife continued to whisper in his ear and stare at us. Their actions made me feel bad for their children, my parents would never act like five year olds whispering into each others ears and leaving the rest of the table out. My parents included us in on the conversations, I mean after all this was a family dinner.
The only thing I can do from this situations is laugh. This was absolutely ridiculous. It is not hard to be kind to others. I will never understand why an individual thinks they are better then someone else. Your money and power does not make you better then another.
