Observation

As soon as I walked into Bistros, the first thing that I noticed was how dark it was and how loud it was. As I walked in, it took a good five minutes for me to be seated even though it wasn't that busy. This made me believe that maybe the workers really aren't the best at this time. To the left of the entrance was the pool table area. There were 6 pool tables that lined all the way from the front to the back of the restaurant. Playing pool were 3 groups of people. The first group was two older men who looked like they just came from work. They were playing pool and watching the Cavs game on one of the numerous tv's along the wall. The second and third group of people were two young males who I would say to be in college. They each had a drink and seemed to be enjoying themselves by drinking and playing pool.

I then got to my seat and I noticed something that I wasn't expecting. It seemed like everybody that was seated was pretty much with somebody, but it was either two girls with each other or two guys with each other. I found it kind of odd that a group of girls would go to a sports bar to sit and have a drink and watch games. Right in front of me was a person sitting all by himself. He was very focused on one of the games that was playing, but didn't have anybody with him. Just to the right of him was a guy sitting on a laptop. He seemed to be doing some kind of business on it, but the odd part was, was that he was right beside the bar where there was lots of noise. He was later accompanied by another man where they talked for a good 20 minutes about what seemed like business.

In the bar area, which is in the center of the restaurant was approximately 15 people. All but one of them seemed to be with the person beside them as they were all talking and watching the Detroit Red Wings game that was playing in the middle of the bar area. The one lone person who wasn't with anybody was constantly on the phone. He wasn't just on the phone with one person, he was making numerous calls and receiving numerous calls throughout the night.

The last people that I wanted to observe were the workers of Bistros. The first thing that I noticed was that there were all women as servers. At first I thought that was kind of odd because this was a place of sports, but after I thought about it, it made sense to me. I would say that the majority of the people that show up to this place are men, and I would also say that most men prefer a women to be their waitress. And all the women working were very attractive and young. The one lone male working was a bartender.
