So, a couple weeks ago i found out that my Friday night karaoke gig of almost 3 years has been bought by new owners. They changed the name of the place but luckily they scoped us out ( without us even knowing we were auditioning ) and realized they needed to keep us there, so we didn't even miss a single week in the transition 2 weeks ago.
Now here's the catch , they let go 2 of the really popular bartenders, a lot of the regular staff and brought in a lot of new people transferred in from other restaurants they own. So 2 weeks ago it was mostly new faces working the bar, and as a result this past Friday at Karaoke was the slowest Friday night we've EVER had.
Now granted, the new owners aren't upset at all , they know that with a transition there's a good chance we'll have to rebuild, but honestly there's a lot of people upset with the new owners and a lot of our regulars just don't want to accept change. Has anyone else experienced anything like this before and do you have any suggestions?
