My friend Angela's birthday was this week. She's a bartender at a little neighborhood bar, and several of her friends showed up during her shift, to have a drink and tell her happy birthday, including me. While I was there, a guy that we both know ("Kevin") came in with several of his buddies. Kevin's in his mid 20's, and he looks it, so you know he's gonna get carded on a regular basis. Apparently he can't handle it. He is known for being rowdy, but this was just completely uncalled for.
He comes in and sits down, nods at Angela, who's busy at the bar; she acknowledges him and continues serving. Angela's boss comes over to his table and cards him. He gets pissy and refuses to show ID. She tells him the usual 'If you don't show ID, you don't drink.' He gets rude, she gets stern, he gets abusive, she tells him to eff off. He starts yelling obcenities and causing a huge scene, I mean everyone in this little bar stops what they're doing to look at him. Boss lady then grabs him by his shirt collar and tosses him out the door. He stands outside yelling that he's calling the cops.
Angela comes out from behind the bar and goes outside. She asks him what the hell he thinks he's doing. Basically what she says to him is along the lines of 'I don't come into your work, get into a fight with your boss, and then call the cops on you. ' He tells her he wants an apology from her boss. Angela looks at him incredulously. Her boss then comes out and wants to kno wwhat's going on. Angela throws up her hands and says 'Apparently he wants an apology' and goes back inside, while boss lady reads Kevin the riot act while he screams and pitches a fit worthy of a 2 year old.
End result: Kevin leaves alone. Every single person in the bar thought he was a moron, even his buddies. They stayed and had a few beers (they had all produced ID when asked without batting an eye) and flirted with Angela and I. We played darts and pool and a good time was had by all.
Afterthought: According to Angela, none of the guys are speaking to Kevin. Including her. They all think he's a grade A asshole, and they would be correctamundo!!!
