Sorry to hear another location is dropping buzztime trivia.I believe that a place like Wild Bill's should succeed.They have many regular customers that I believe has an atmosphere where trivia should succeed.This is where I feel that with a better support system buzztime would prosper.

I agree with your decision not to go there if no buzztime trivia.I go to places that have buzztime trivia. Last time I was at Wild Bill's they seemed to only have 8 boards that worked.With better support buzztime may have had more success at Wild Bill's.They have alot of repeat customers and the atmosphere to support buzztime trivia.

Thankyou for your efforts JohnL.I will also let them know my displeasure with the decision.

I just went to their website and also voiced my displeasure with the decision.ThankyouJohnL for bringing this to my attention.

People typically dine outside their homes in the hope that they'll enjoy less fuss 'n muss, certainly, but also that they'll enjoy some interaction with the restaurant personnel who serve them, and possibly some interaction with the diners around them. Your typical server is personable and knowledgeable, capable of advising your dinner party regarding the menu items, and may also have some feel for timing. Is the kitchen operating efficiently? Which appetizer is receiving the most favorable remarks?

The current fast-casual category is in constant uproar, and this creepy need to sterilize the process of employee-client interaction is, from my perspective, encouraging (as Panera does) its clients to pass credit-debit cards through doubtful protocols.

Having slept on this message, I wish to add that I spend in excess of $10K per year, before tips, playing the A Channel of Buzztime's enterprise, and less than half that at all the other bars and restaurants I visit. Regardless how much or little the company prospers in the future, I'll go to my grave convinced that Buzztime erred in trying to expand beyond the core competence of providing educational and conversational entertainment.

According to the manager at the Wild Bill's in Woodbury the reason they are dropping Buzztime is that they were promised that you could order food with the new tablets and Buzztime never did provide software to allow that to happen.

There is a chain called Aroogas in PA that does have the tablets with ordering and pay by credit card on them in about 12 stores.

It works fine there, you can reorder drinks (1st one must be in person) and put in food orders and pay when you are ready without waiting on a server. Of course they still come around with your order and to check on you but it potentially is a plus for both customer and store avoiding delays.

I don't see why Wild Bill's couldn't get the same system put in? Did they push for it or just sit there waiting on it to appear? There is a process of adapting their menu into the software with restaurant input very important. Not sure who screwed this up? Sounds like a poor excuse to me to save some money at player expense.

Of course BWW is still waiting on a fix for the failed security of the credit card readers in the tablets at their test stores in CA. I haven't heard anything about a relaunch there? LILJOL what's up there? Our BWW in MD does have the Gen 4 tablets with a credit card screen but it's not working yet.
