This happened several years back but I was reminded when a friend wanted to throw her child's bday party at Country Lanes in Natchitoches and I told her I would not set foot in this building let alone spend money with these people. I went to this bowling ally a lot as a little girl, back then it was the place to be. Since then nothing has been updated. The bathrooms never cleaned. The food will 110% get you sick. They have animals in this place making it unsanitary and unsafe for people with and without allergies with absolutely no warning anywhere. There are also rodents and bugs, saw them with my own eyes. The technology does not work, the computers will definitely score you wrong and the workers have to reset pins/balls/ etc. almost every roll (and they took their time doing so). They do not have a great selection of shoes, music, booze, food, or fun. Their "arcade" has all broken machines but you must pay a $5 entry fee. (Yes seriously there is an entry fee to the broken down arcade). Lastly and most importantly, the customer service is beyond rude. They are impossible. After paying to play a game of bowling we decided we would go to the arcade first. So of course now we (my husband and I) have invested about $30 bucks into our fun night, (which will not break us but it is how these people make a living), we were talked to very rude, eyes got rolled with every single word she said to us. Then after not completing even one game of pool in the arcade we were KICKED OUT with no refund. I asked why, since we had already paid and hadn't been there 10 min. She said she reserved the right to kick us out. Note, I had been here several times before but my husband hadn't. I was irate, so I was told they were closing for the night but they still had food cooking and people bowling. So not happy with their obvious lie of an answer, I asked again. That's when we were told she didn't want us there because we were an interracial couple. Not an ignorant couple, not loud or rude, not dressed inappropriate. We did nothing wrong, but she didn't want to have to look at his black skin. This place deserves to be bulldozed even before we were treated this way. I honestly have no idea how the owners made it this long.
