I went back up to the bar after the other guy had gotten a bucket and was told no so I don't think that was the reason.
I just didn't want to complain and make a thing out of it, it was just easier for us to move on and enjoy our day somewhere else. After having visited there a few days prior and having an uncomfortable experience it just didn't seem worth it.
I am sure this is not a normal experience there, and hopefully it doesn't happen to anyone else. I found it really odd.
