Slightly over a year ago, the Stanley Beer Hall<\/a> changed it\u2019s layout so that customers must pour their own drinks, which includes several great options. Of course, for those who don\u2019t handle change well, it was a tough transition. \u201cThe idea of having to get my own drinks was just not something I was used to in my bar experience,\u201d said local patron Tim Jensen. \u201cAt first I thought it would take something away from the social experience. After going there several times, I would bitch less and less, and pretty soon, I realized I actually liked it.\u201d Jensen wasn\u2019t alone in his slow acceptance of the concept. \u201cNo one carried a drink over to me,\u201d said barfly Marc Graham. \u201cI had to get up, walk over and get my own drinks. That walk always seemed so long. Eventually, I realized that not only was I able to get my drinks faster, I was also getting my steps in. It was win-win.\u201d Jamie Hansen was even slower to accept the changes. \u201cI think what you miss out on is that personal attention,\u201d said Hansen. \u201cI mean, I think there is value in developing that personal rapport with the wait staff, especially Samantha, that adds a lot to the bar experience. When they made you serve yourself, they not only lost some of the staff, they lost that feel\u2026and look. The look, well, that was important, too.\u201d Hansen continued to go to Stanley Beer Hall, most often against his own wishes. \u201cFriends still wanted to go there because it does have a great outdoor drinking area, good food, and whatever,\u201d said Hansen. \u201cBut it took me a while to understand why Samantha, or I guess anyone, wasn\u2019t getting me my beer anymore. God I miss her\u2026service. I miss her service.\u201d Ultimately Hansen says he is close to being over the change, and is ready to move on and fully accept pouring his own beers. \u201cIt\u2019s hard, but I\u2019m taking it day by day,\u201d said Hansen. \u201cI guess it\u2019s totally fine, even if I don\u2019t get to try to develop those important relationships with the staff. Doesn\u2019t mean Samantha shouldn\u2019t come back in every once and a while just to say hi, but whatever. I need to move on. There\u2019s more beer to drink and I don\u2019t have to wait to ask for it. I can just run up and grab it. Maybe I can drink enough to make the memories of the staff just go away.\u201d The Stanley Beer Hall encourages you to drink responsibly. Even if that means keeping the memory of Samantha forever.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
