I once said "Everyone at the bar appreciates your responsibility, but you just spilled a plate of fish and chips into the owners lap". LOL That was a funny situation!<br /><br />Sometimes cut-offs have nothing to do with safety, but everything to do with me and everyone else at the bar being tired of dealing with your drunk ass!tikitenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02702251222555889981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924657243156792396.post-53401893804929303702009-12-11T07:12:56.779-08:002009-12-11T07:12:56.779-08:00Because most of my customers are locals (and we al...Because most of my customers are locals (and we all know each other), I usually cut them off with a "Time to call it a night there Joe". Sometimes I will add "Come back tomorrow, I will buy you a drink." Of course, that's a simple cut-off. At my bar, cut-off does not automatically equal time to leave.tikitenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02702251222555889981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924657243156792396.post-43337095572902991162009-12-09T19:58:59.549-08:002009-12-09T19:58:59.549-08:00I remember when I went through our TIPS training a...I remember when I went through our TIPS training and seeing the videos and thinking that nobody would be that obnoxious and/or stupid. But they are!! I get second hand embarassment for some of the people because they do such ignorant things. <br /><br />We have an ongoing joke at my bar about the TIPS levels. Level one is soberish, two buzzed/drunk, three out of control. So whenever one of us gets drunk on a night out we say "Oh man you were a level six".. which there isn't that high of a level so I guess that's the joke. But, the point is, you'd think if someone got that drunk they or their friends would take them home.. but they don't.. they stay there and try to drink. And, as their server, it's your fault if they leave and do something stupid like get alcohol posoining or in an accident. So you have to cut them off. I hate dealing with those situations!!BBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01608708153505596563noreply@blogger.com
