Bo-Mar Farm

My friend’s son was getting married in the afternoon so my friend asked if a bunch of us could come on Saturday morning at 8:00 am to help set up tables, chairs, etc. As I was unfamiliar with the location I decided to go a few minutes early so I wouldn’t be late. I got there at 7:53 and pulled into the driveway. There was no one there and a gate blocked the road. I started backing up and as I was trying to turn my car around I was approached by the female owner of the farm who looked so angry. She asked me what I was doing there and I told her. She told me that her driveway was not a turnaround and I apologized. I must have apologized about 5 or 6 times as she continued to talk to me in an angry and demeaning voice. She told me to go back out to the street and come back at 8:00 and that she would open the gate at that time and tell me where to park. I left the farm and parked on the side of the road until I saw the people I knew arriving. As I drove up, she had a smile on her face. She apologized for yelling at me because she «was tired of people turning around in her driveway.» She asked If I had anything to unload and pointed me toward the left of the parking area.
My motto in life, and I have raised my children this way, is to ALWAYS respect others. I don’t care how many times people turn around in my driveway, I would NEVER come out and yell at them. She knew that people were coming at 8:00 to set up, why didn’t she just open the gate? Is it good business for an owner to treat a potential customer this way? The wedding was beautiful, it is a very nice venue, but the day was ruined for me as I was in the presence of a woman who had admonished me like a child.
