Wow. Glad you're outta there IatLQ. Hope you find something to replace it soon.
I was fortunate enough to work an incredibly popular/successful bar at one time. Every once in a while someone who thought that they were entitled to all the hand-holding money can buy for the price of a drink would materialize. Big difference was we were never empty. They'd expect it after waiting four deep at the bar, with the same behind them! "What do you have?" "Alcohol." "But what kiiiiiiinnnnnnnddddd?" Menu got placed in front of them, "I'll be back in a few." Turn to literally dozens of others who have used their waiting time to, you know, make up their minds.
Boss man was one of those few who was perspicacious enough to realize that the chances of that kind of customer spending enough to make up for the lost revenue of all the customers behind them were slim to none.
