Shecky's Girls Night Out

I stopped going to events because they became cheesy and not worth the price you had to pay. It has changed for the worse. I had been going for years until they changed. Now I don't even bother to go. Their goody bags were to die for and the last goody bag I got had three items in it; items which I do not have a need for. These are GNOs in New York City.

Terrible people, they don't pay the people they hire for events unless you email 15+ times and call incessantly and finally show up at their weird intern-filled business and demand they write you check on the spot. This was the experience of several people including myself. Not worth it in any way. The event seems like it sucks to attend anyway, can't believe women PAID to be there. Such scams, kudos to them for getting away with it.

Google, can we get a NEGATIVE star system for Shecky's please? Because that was my experience with them for their 7/12/14 Girls Day Out in the Hampton's event.

What was billed as a classy wine tasting & tour followed by a Hampton's BBQ turned out to be a poorly planned, classless and stressful day being herded around like cattle.



Here's a highlight:

Paid $93 bucks for what was promised to be a classy day wine tasting followed by a BBQ in the Hamptons...and this is what we received:



-Asked to be at bus line by 9:30AM, we arrive at 8:30AM and our bus didn't leave until 10:45AM

-The bus almost didn't have enough seats even though we all pre-paid!

-The bus was supposed to come with a guide/chaperone, but we didn't get one so no one knew what was going on or how to handle the 2 1/4 hour delay in time schedule.

-One of our fellow participants had the bus driver call Chris Shecky to figure out what to do.

-What was supposed to be 45 min at TWO wineries turned out to be 20 minutes at each winery. 20 minutes INCLUDING getting off the bus, getting tickets/tokens for the wine tasting, trying to get a tasting and then getting back on the bus.

-It was impossible to do a tasting because there were TWO BUS FULL of girls (approximately 100 girls, since each coach bus avg. about 48-52 girls depending on size) and only THREE people behind the bar pouring!

-The little tasting we got, we had to basically do a WINE SHOT in order to meet the time schedule to get back on the bus.

-Once we arrived at the BBQ after the frantic wine tastings, there was another HUGE LINE for the BBQ...which turned out to be nothing by disgusting white bread buns, hot dogs AND they ran out of hamburgers!? WTF? It was something straight out of any restaurant depot, nothing classy about there. 

-There was no water, only sponsored HonestTeas...which was delicious but it DOES NOT QUENCH thirst after wine tasting or a note 90 degree day!
-The gift bags are LAUGHABLE, we got sample tampons, monster energy drink (who drinks that!?), random sunblock and other junk that I tossed to the trash can.

-We never got BBQ tickets or goody bag tickets because they didn't put a chaperone on our bus! So we had to argue and explain with the people there that we paid and retell the horrible day we were already having...so my girlfriends and I just ended up leaving the walked to downtown Southhampton and grabbed lunch there at the Golden Pear Cafe.



NEVER AGAIN WILL I PARTICIPATE IN ANY SHECKY'S EVENTS! It's basically a scam...they take your money, get their event sponsored (yes we noticed there was a bunch of sponsorships) so they don't have to pay any money and basically loot consumers. 



I DEMAND A REFUND! I called their office and they told me to email customerservice@sheckys.…, will update on that once I hear from Shecky's...anyone want to wager whether I'll actually get a response or refund???

Shecky's Girls Night Out Hampton was the worst event I'd participated in, EVER!
I would never patronize anything with the Shecky's name associated with it. Very unprofessional, and very disorganized. Someone behind the Shecky's name is making a lot of money delivering extreme sub-par service. The idea behind the Shecky's theme is a good idea, but the Hampton's Girls Night Out even was poorly organized, poorly executed, and ruined the entire day, for a lot of disappointed women.

They don't pay the contract employees who work for them in each city even though they collect admission money from every person who attends.
