the joys of working in hospo
because i run the kitchen i usually get to hide in my hole, but on friday and some saturday nights i am out and large in the bar.
two amusing incidences from last weekend:
incident one:
this guy had obviously had too much to drink. i had served him before on another day so i knew he wasn't always like this. he was rambling and was slurring hard out.
his new "friends" ie: randoms who were also pissed and started talking to him, questioned why i refused to serve him. i replied with "he is obviously pissed, he is swaying and slurring. he hasn't done anything to warrant being being kicked out yet, but i don't want him to drink here"
one of the guys asked me "so if someone walked in off the street and was slurring you wouldn't serve him, thats discrimination!!"
i asked if he meant someone with a speech impairment, because it is easy to tell the difference.
he said no, drunken slurring.
so i asked "you think it is discrimination for me to refuse service of a drunk person?"
"yes" was the reply
"...."
then he went on to call me a red headed bitch, and soon got kicked out.
incident two:
we have a TAB (a betting system, for dogs, horses, sports etc) and there is a big sign on the bar in front of it saying we do not serve drinks over it, it is TAB only.
some guys who had been betting were trying to get drinks over that way through different staff members all night. they always got told "no, we cannot serve over here, come around to the bar"
when one of them tried it on me, i pointed at the sign and asked if he could read.
he said "no, i am deaf"
i had to lol at that one
oh and a bonus, i told a guy who was being a dick that i was losing my patience with him, just to serve as a warning. he told me i was being rude, i said no i am being honest and blunt. he then asked for my phone number.
and i get to do it all again tonight!! :D
