Responsible Bartending
by Jack Mathews, Aug 05, 2000 10:43am PDTYet another one of my updates without anything to do with games. Woo hoo! Anyway, while Maarten and Steve are playing grabass with CliffyB at QuakeCon, me and Andy remained here in good old Austin because a friend came into town. Well, we're at a bar on 6th street last night and Andy was driving so he was having water. The most responsible waitress ever came up to us at had this conversation: [Waitress] Would you like something instead of your water now? [Andy] No thanks, I'm driving. [Waitress] Oh come on, it's Friday night! Now that's what I call being desperate for tips - risking your patrons' lives! Never a dull moment!

so don't be an asshole, jack, and think she was just getting tips. She probably was just pressured by her manager (hey see that guy drinking water? Go try to sell him alcohol so i look good) or just wanted that guy to have a good time.

And man, austin does have a really bad drink driving problem...
After seeing the scabs on wednesday nights, you can see floods of drunks flooding out of antone's piling into their cars!
All my work buddies drink drive too, and it pisses me off.
I love austin, but after living in Atlanta for many years, where drink driving is really looked down on, it was strange to come here and have everyone like "well, I can see my fingers, therefore I can drive!"

i mean come on, a beer on a full stomach isn't going to impair your driving ability. I have served alcohol to many people who proceeded to drive home, but they weren't *drunk*. They would just have maybe a beer.
of course, if someone is drinking water i let them, part of upselling liquor is knowing when they want it, but are afraid/don't want to ask.
