Stay out of the HOG PEN!

Sounds like a funny title for this blog post, but there are reasons. Today was a gorgeous day, and luckily, I had a family come rent a bunch of scooters from me.
The told me all about their business, The Hog Pen in Leakey, Texas. They are a BBQ family, and we chatted it up about how great Texas BBQ is. Very friendly people.
They all had rider's experience, as they kept telling me. So off they went... all 7 scooters.
Upon their return, I was inspecting the bikes loosely, as no one alerted me to an accident or spill, and then I was distracted with more southern charm.
They left the lot, and I went to the bikes to line them up properly.

Well guess what! One of them *name withheld* wrecked a scooter, and did not point it out to me.
They left the lot after saying things like "come see us in Tx." and "We'll set you up with great BBQ".

So there is the damaged scooter. Of course, thru the power of Credit Card Machines, and the legalities of my contracts, I went back and adjusted their account to reflect the damages.

Why do people lie?
It's frustrating beyond a financial and mechanical level.

You go thru life thinking people are generally honest, but in reality, most are shady and sneeky, and will try to get away with as much as they can.

So, if you are anywhere near Leakey, Texas... make sure to stop in at THE HOG PEN BBQ. Tell'em ZootScoot sent you, and then walk out. Maybe buy some BBQ somewhere else.
If they are willing to skimp out on their vacation rental, I wonder what they skimp on in the quality of their establishment.

It says on the koozy they gave me that "Bikers Welcome".
Well, the bikers who own the Hog Pen are not welcome back here.
