Red Flag

When Chilifest lets out that glorious Saturday night...all the drunks come crawling out of the woodworks...

and they seem to flock to our establishment.

We were in a predicament bc we are in a contest that involves us selling tons of margaritas...but you can serve tequila to people who can barely keep their eyes open.

If our patrons had that yellow wristband on...that was our RED FLAG that they may be too intoxicated to drink anymore.

Some times our RED FLAGS are not as obvious...

But sometimes they are...

and sometimes they are not red at all...

Sometimes they are blue and silver and say Keystone on the side...

In walks an enormously large drunkard that we will call Stevie...

With a Keystone Light in his hands.

Stevie has inside connects so he may have felt like this was ok...it is not!

I was notified by radio that we had someone cruisin' around with a can...

When I came to the scene of the incident FD told me that he had it under control...I didn't doubt him, but I figured Spitfire may have had an equal role.

Stevie was hovering the bar area...when he spotted me he came over to where I was.

I had to clarify that he really came in with beer in hand...

DID THAT REALLY HAPPEN...he said yes...and assured me that it was ok...

I assured him that it was not ok...and that he owed Spitfire an apology...

He apologized and went to his table...

Where they were ALL denied booze.

I thought that was it, then Spitfire told me that it was deeper than that.

He walked in like he owned the joint (beer in hand) and when Spitfire told him that he would have to wait for a table he replied...FUCK THAT. Those other fuckers can wait.

Ewwwww not cool at all...Stevie was working his way into the dog house.

Spitfire sat him in someone's section that she knew could handle them...her hubby!!

That night I had told me peeps that if they were unsure or uncomfortable telling a table they could not order booze...come get me...I would check them out and make the final call...

Senior Spitfire never needed to call me over...Stevie's RED FLAG was loud and clear...
