under attack!
so some cast members from a recently opened national touring production of a musical which may or may not resemble a film coming out July 18th that may or may not star Meryl Streep, found themselves at the bar last night.
of course we always welcome these groups and their female co-stars because sometimes it’s nice to see someone other than the usual suspects here on a tuesday night.
except when they act like douchebags.
well, you know, one spoiled apple ruins the bunch and stuff.
we don’t announce last call. we just turn the music down and that is that. it happens at the same time every sunday through thursday and then one hour later on friday and saturday. it’s always the same time, i’m not sure why we don’t make an announcement, but it’s just been the tradition long before i ever took over managing the bar. some people don’t like it. one particular short statured cast member of said musical in particular.
i tried to explain to him that no matter how much he talks my ear off about the situation, it can’t change and i’m assuming that all his huff and puffery and i’m-going-blow-your-house-down hot air was due to the fact that he is just a mere understudy and his napolean-esque behavior was to due to just that and i mean napolean-esque in both the historial and cinema senses of the word.
he chooses to inform me, as if we were a TGIFridays, that his cast and crew have been drinking at jrs’s all over the country.
so, then. you’ve been to four. i’m not quite sure what kind of chain/franchise operation he thinks this is, but i assured him that there was no jrs in seattle. and that the ones in dallas and houston are separately owned from the ones in denver and dc and that unlike the Cheesecake factory, each location is different and what you get at one is not what you will find at another.
then, as i’m standing on a stool to close the blinds, and they are just paying their bill, one of their elder cast/crew members, drunkenly tries to tug my shorts down and i imagine he must be the conductor of the pitt orchestra and kept hidden below well out of sight of the audience for good reason.
so then i have to regulate because honestly…i’m not sure what it is about drunk people, or gay guys in general even when they aren’t drunk, that makes it okay for them to touch grab or molest in inappropriate ways and i don’t know why it perhaps occurs more to bartenders because people just think its okay to do that to bartenders, but it’s really beginning to push my buttons. i will kill a bitch if i have to warn you twice.
