My mgr came in the bar and asked if I'd carded her (oops!). Crap, so I went over and asked to see her ID, and of course she had forgotten it. Double crap. I tell her "Sorry, I can't serve you" and I move to take her drink. She tells me "no way, it's too late now!" and picks up her drink, and puts the straw in her mouth. Now I'm pissed - too late my ass - I snatched the glass right out of her hand and then the shit really hit the fan - 7&7 was furious, can't say I blame him - I wonder how much he was paying for his "date". I ended up having to throw both of them out of the bar, and was lucky I didn't get written up. Last time I ever hesitated to card someone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15210421.post-1136310816391303722006-01-03T11:53:00.000-06:002006-01-03T11:53:00.000-06:00Rest assured, if the daughter was hot he would hav...Rest assured, if the daughter was hot he would have mentioned it - please note Bacardi DIET = moose!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15210421.post-1135864981123132582005-12-29T08:03:00.000-06:002005-12-29T08:03:00.000-06:00Well, you made the right choice.

We need to have all of the drinks off of the tables at 9- no exceptions. We didn't get too much gruff about that. But, I however did get no tip on a table that thinks that I control how much fat is on the ribs (2 dinners sent back and meals comped). The table behind them (not my table either) left me $5 when they overheard me bitching. So, that was super-cool!<BR/><BR/>P.S.
