The issue is not that getting a fingerprint check is a hassle.

Actually some do.

I did my time in hotel purgatory, so I know what you’re talking about. I specifically chose to work the breakfast service because I didn’t want to deal with the night drunks, but because they were sometimes short-staffed, I would have to do an evening shift and I hated it. Breakfast people are aholes too, but at least…

Get met a subscription to a searchable database of all the legal actions in the US and I bet you that I will find you a settlement, if not a court case.

Stories like this is why I would never be a bartender. Sure you can make some decent money, but the hassle of dealing with drunk aholes waving $5 bills at you is really really really not worth it. Corporate private partie? Sure. Private weddings or bars? No thank you.

False. It’s because people like Joe were given mortgages that the housing bubble happened.

Point taken. I revise my suggestion; replace cat with kid.

Whether this is a case of discrimination we don’t know as the lawsuit is pending and therefore nobody has ruled on it.

Evidence isn’t as cut and dried as you seem to think.

Define what “small amount” is, and couple that with the fact that the bartender has no way of really knowing how drunk somebody is.

Thanks to MADD (and other similar organizations) the victims have successfully sued and won. That’s why the legislation exists, and mandates that bartenders cut people off.

Bartenders are NOT manufacturers, and thanks to MADD they are legally responsible for what your drunk ass does after leaving the bar.

In regards to alcohol, as a result of lawsuits, bartenders are responsible for what drunks do. Therefore, they can legally cut someone off without being accused of discrimination.

8. Get a cat.

It didn’t happen often with the victims of drunk drivers, either.

It doesn’t happen because most pregnant women don’t go purchasing drinks or cigarettes, forcing people in uncomfortable situations.

Except your changed behavior might involve suing the bartender who served you booze and the convenience store guy who sold you cigarettes, if the baby comes out with deformities or illnesses.

Tow trucks are “demand responsive”. man.

Sure, but that version of fun also means unemployable, so...

Or it could be about her breast cancer diagnosis and how they dealt with it in their marriage/personal lives.
