Do You Want to Start a Tab?

00:00:00:00 - 00:00:21:03

Everyone in the service industry has a story. Crazy customers, wild orders and WTF moments. Do you want to start a tab? The podcast here to bring you those tales from behind the bar. My name is Carl. I've been bartending now for almost 11 years. I have some stories to share. My name is Riley. I bartended for like six months and I like watching Karl's stories.

00:00:21:04 - 00:00:44:22
Unknown
So today we are thrilled. It's just oozing out of me. We have our second guest, and she's actually a bartender. And our first in-person, in-person guest. Her name is Carrie. And I don't ever know how to say her last name correctly. That's okay. I'll say it. Swanwick And see, there you go. Not necessary. It's all good. So the hotel I work at, there's a restaurant called Caroline's.

00:00:44:23 - 00:01:04:11
Unknown
I used to bartend. There wasn't even bartending on stage is more of just making copies for fucking people and Bloody Marys. But anyways, Carrie would show up a little hungover, right? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Get some breakfast and. Yeah, we just hit it off. And now she is one of my bartenders in the hotel, the robot lounge.

00:01:04:11 - 00:01:36:16
Unknown
What else do you do? Yeah. So I've been bartending off and on for about eight, nine years ish, and I've done a little bit of every type of bartending from fast pace, high volume show venues to super slow paced martini bars all the way to the worst, which is, you know, the stereotypical chain restaurant. We have a birthday song type of place and God, you know, like worst nightmares, you know, like that's, you know, all of it.

00:01:36:17 - 00:02:02:07
Unknown
So then when they're been through all of it and this is the first time I'm doing well, a second time I'm doing a hotel bar, but this is the first time I'm liking it. So yay. That's impressive, considering you work with Carl. You married the fucker. Hey, man, I'm just being diplomatic. Fingers were too cheap to go buy a lawyer, so.

00:02:02:18 - 00:02:27:07
Unknown
Well, we're excited to have this on. And so what we do here on this podcast is we read stories as the police car drive by. So road. All right, then check the schedule. I mean, Ray, don't they see the red flashing lights as we're recording in here? Cassidy So we read stories off the Internet and then we react to those stories, bar tender stories, ghost stories about bar life, bar experiences.

00:02:27:07 - 00:02:51:21
Unknown
And we say, Who is the asshole in the story? And we critique the story saying maybe how things should have been handled. Then we rate it one through five, one being your average bar story and five being your rare occurrence, you know? Oh, my God story. Right. And yeah, and so then we're going to do one story and Carrie is going to share a story that she has experienced either as a guest or as a bartender.

00:02:51:21 - 00:03:12:01
Unknown
We don't know the story that she's going to tell us, and then we're going to tell you if she's the asshole in the story or not. Perfect. Perfect. And so Carrie Sosa has all she is. She and I kind of had the same bartending personality when it comes to guest interactions and kind of just tell it as is.

00:03:12:01 - 00:03:27:05
Unknown
And we just go with the flow and you both like to give people shit where. Yeah, I mean, come on. Like, who doesn't want to? I mean, you got to reciprocate the shit that they're going to give you, right? I mean, you have to match the energy of the person that's present. Right. Right. Every episode we share a drink.

00:03:27:05 - 00:03:46:06
Unknown
What are we drinking today, girl? I'm calling it the Infinity Stone name. Still up in the air because we just made it. So we take infinity. Your infinity bottle. If you don't know what that is, it's a bottle where you put all your last ounce or two of whiskey into the same bottle. And it's always blended and always going to be different tasting.

00:03:46:06 - 00:04:15:15
Unknown
So in theory is infinity will be there forever. So anyway, it's two ounces of that and then I did two different memories. Basically, this is a black Manhattan. And let's see, that's how you use Montenegro. No, I use this one, the Lugano, you know, and that's a sexy bottle. And then I use this one. Okay, So they're both bottles that we got while we were in San Diego, and we haven't really the Lugano.

00:04:15:15 - 00:04:43:05
Unknown
I bought advance. Oh, we got that one in San Diego the Maria our month in 19 month. Don't even try. Yeah. Anyways. Follow us on Instagram and I will put the bottles on there. We'll get them started on Duolingo English. So sorry. The English language verse. You have a 200 day streak and you can pronounce kindergarten words pretty easily.

00:04:43:06 - 00:05:05:18
Unknown
Country presents English as like an advanced subject, and it's the only language we know. So I think this is pretty good. It's boozy, of course, And that's what we asked her what she wanted. And I was like, Spirit for let's do this. And yeah, it's it's lovely. It's really well-balanced and it's it's got some sweetness to it, which I like.

00:05:05:18 - 00:05:30:20
Unknown
I'm I'm into it. Sweet. I mean, not like, super sweet. Not right, you know? Yeah. I'm here for the cherry at the end. Yeah. Oh, I knew by me this is who does this. Right? Come on. So this is from the subreddit entitled Karens. Oof! And it's called the Karen Wanted the perfect margarita. Gosh. Oh, are we ready?

00:05:31:19 - 00:05:55:23
Unknown
Yeah. When was it posted? It was posted five months ago. Okay. By the user aggressive t 2690. Thank you. Aggressive to yes. When I used use to bartend and serve tables at an Irish pub that obviously specializes in Irish beers, whiskey, etc., I dealt with a mega Karen. It was a Saturday night and a concert. Just let out.

00:05:56:03 - 00:06:22:10
Unknown
When this happens, we get extremely busy. One server called off at night, so I had 12 tables all to myself. I was very busy. Oh, my tables were so awesome until the mega Karen walked in with three other people. I went to greet them to get their drinks. When I asked Karen for her drink order, it was the most insane drink order I've ever received at an Irish pub, a frozen peach and strawberry margarita with extra sugar on the rim and five strawberries on the rim.

00:06:22:10 - 00:06:48:15
Unknown
Yes, she specified five ordering. No, no, no, no. How about you can have a shot of tequila and I'll give you five strawberries and a cup if I have them. It was y y y. Yeah. Okay. So sorry. We're doing it right? Yeah. It's my fault. We're doing it. Ordering a blended drink at an Irish pub is extremely rare.

00:06:48:15 - 00:07:07:21
Unknown
Our cooks were behind, so I had to cut up the strawberries myself while the bartenders dusted off the blender. Jake But you get the point to make her drink. We didn't have the right peach flavoring, so I just made the strawberry margarita with the sugar on the rim after I was finished cutting up the fucking strawberries, I placed them on the rim and walked the drinks over to the table.

00:07:08:06 - 00:07:26:08
Unknown
Keep in mind, I still have 11 other tables. The second I set her drink down, she pushed it off the table in all caps. I walked away because I was so angry. I went immediately to the owner of the bar and almost in tears because I was so mad. He was so mad because he saw me cutting up the strawberries for her and asked why I was doing it.

00:07:26:12 - 00:07:51:14
Unknown
I was doing that but appreciated the fact that I was helping the cooks out and were shocked when somebody ordered a drink like that. After explaining to him what she had done, he went over to the table and kicked them out. I love him. I will marry him. If you're out there and you're hearing this man, I'll never forget the feeling of standing behind the owner with this large grin on my face, watching her get kicked out.

00:07:51:14 - 00:08:09:12
Unknown
She glanced at me and I waved by with my biggest smile on my face. She looks so infuriated. I'll never forget the look on her face with six chins. I was so glad I didn't have to endure her food order. Best boss ever. The previous restaurants I worked would have told me to suck it up. Oh my God.

00:08:10:18 - 00:08:33:20
Unknown
So let's start with where we kind of were going in the middle of this. Yeah, it's an Irish pub. Don't order, Marguerita. I wouldn't bother getting a Guinness. I'm like, Here you go. Exactly what you wanted. I just. I don't understand what the man like. I don't even care what kind of bar it is. It's like, first of all, of course, at an Irish pub it's ridiculous.

00:08:33:20 - 00:08:52:21
Unknown
But second of all, if you got you visibly, you're a person, right? You've eaten in a restaurant before, right? So you can see when it's busy, you can see at least a little bit. Right. So why would you order anything that's really good? I mean, if you want your service to be Also, do you know how expensive strawberries are?

00:08:52:21 - 00:09:11:16
Unknown
Fuck off with your five strawberries. Yeah, I think we should charge that bitch me. Fuck you. You know who the fuck orders a frozen margarita at an Irish pub? In an Irish pub? Like I can maybe see if you want a margarita. Got it? Sure, I will make you a real fast shake in one and call it a day.

00:09:11:16 - 00:09:31:11
Unknown
They probably have a blender just because they had a blended Irish coffee special at some point and some like Brandy Alexander said. Yeah, special or something. Shamrock. Shamrock. Actually, I don't know. Blenders are always broken. That's what I tell people. It's broken. It's always broken. Or is it? It's broken and sent out here. Why would it be out here with Brooke?

00:09:31:11 - 00:09:56:21
Unknown
I mean, the one time I did work at a I worked at a stupid I can't say it like I'm calling it the OG. I don't think I should say like my name, the very common, popular Italian, Italian and, quote, chain restaurant that everyone knew. You were terrible. Yes, that's right. So I work for Olive Garden and, you know, and it was all right, like it wasn't the worst bartending job in the world.

00:09:56:21 - 00:10:15:10
Unknown
It wasn't fun by any means. It felt like a lot of work wasn't social. It was a lot of blending drinks and, you know, it wasn't that bad. But also we had this bomb as Vitamix and like five different containers, right? And we had a whole system for that. Like I had a dishwasher in front of me. Washing dishes is very easy.

00:10:15:11 - 00:10:34:15
Unknown
The Mexican restaurant was the same with all the daiquiris and the frozen marks. Yeah, we had three blenders, but then we had like six of the containers. Right? If you have that, that's fine. But like, like the capacity to do that job right. When I, when it went ahead we had one old school eighties nineties blender with one thing and we tried to forward to her ice cream rings.

00:10:34:15 - 00:10:50:12
Unknown
I tell the table like no you get one like you guys need it in a bitch. Like I can't spend 20 minutes on four different ice cream drinks when the restaurant is completely full. You can order you can order for of the same right? That's I can make it in the same container. Right. But so that's just ridiculous.

00:10:50:12 - 00:11:12:04
Unknown
Like whoever her husband or boyfriend or brother or friend girlfriend gets, you don't call your sister. That's like, you know, she's going to do that. And, you know, her family and friends were just and they're like, fuck you. And she's six years ago. She's one of those women. But like, if I were to be going out and having lunch with my friends, I wouldn't invite her.

00:11:12:05 - 00:11:26:12
Unknown
Right. Because, you know, she's going to pull some shit. It's that bitch on waiting, right? Like, Oh, yeah. Oh, I'm. I'm not done with my cell. It Would you want me to take. No, it's like that woman, that interaction. That's what this is like. She's trying to do this probably try to get some free shit at the end of the day.

00:11:26:12 - 00:11:41:11
Unknown
Like this on sites. You know, she's ready for that coupon. She's ready to come, right? I was like, Now I'm not going to give you a coupon. I'll give you a free gives you to go. I'm going to give you say so I don't want you to come back. No. Everything. Everything free you. I think I want you to ever come back.

00:11:41:17 - 00:12:02:06
Unknown
And also everything free you would have just gotten is now mine. Because you broke the glass. You pushed it off the table. That that's that's so that's disrespectful. Like, that's just that's just so disrespectful. Another level what are all the other guests they're watching all of this. Right. And I would have tipped her more like, you know, I tip, you know, 2.5%, man.

00:12:02:06 - 00:12:18:00
Unknown
All right, here's 30%. Just for you have to deal with it like there are people that you go to dinner with that you have an extra couple bucks in your pocket that you leave on the table always. Oh, Lord. The amount of times I've I've done that. So I think this can be the first time where we talk about the hero of this.

00:12:18:02 - 00:12:39:22
Unknown
We never actually, like sit and we always talk about the owner. Right? Absolutely. On site, the hero is best owner ever. Yeah. Like, I don't even need you to meet them. I don't care about their business. I don't care about their bills. They're gone. You do not talk to my employees and show disrespect to my establishment unnecessarily. What a great owner pushing this shit off the table.

00:12:40:08 - 00:12:59:05
Unknown
So there's this thing I've heard people say, like, Who's a zero and who's a hero? Yeah, that bitch is a fucking zero, right? And he is a fucking here. All right, Like, who's the zero? Oh, Oh, that's on Shark Tank. The blond who does that? But she says, Yeah, I mean, it's an original callback to Disney's 1997 Hercules, but.

00:12:59:05 - 00:13:18:11
Unknown
Oh, very nice. Deep cut. Deep cut. The song is called Zero to Hero. It's not that deep enough for me because I forget that. And also her throwing shade with the whole. But, you know, like. And I would have loved it. That would I mean, that's all. I don't say that's just doing what that is to say that I would have got my whole section to applaud that right.

00:13:18:12 - 00:13:39:16
Unknown
I would have been like, Betty, give it up, give it everything I can. You know, this is five months ago. I got on my phone and got to hit the road. Jack and I play that song on WorldStar, like, bye. So what do we want to go ahead and carry? What do you think? One through five. What again?

00:13:39:16 - 00:14:08:10
Unknown
One's being like an average bar story here and five being like super extreme. What you can do, you could do points, you can do whatever. I'm going to give it a four because of the just it's really that audacity that she had to push the glass off of the table. Right? That really that's so like, deliberate like, like that's like the catch that are looking at something and they know their what they know you're watching them Yeah they're just about and then they just pop it up.

00:14:08:10 - 00:14:35:12
Unknown
There goes the glass of water. Like that's like, that's this is just antagonizing that's so, just so the antagonistic nature of the story. I would just give it a four. Right. No, I, I agree. But like for me I think it doesn't deserve before because of the, the escalating levels of audacity. First she came to an Irish pub and ordered ordered a margarita, you know, ordered a blended margarita.

00:14:36:04 - 00:14:59:07
Unknown
Then she added two different flavors to it, and then she demanded five fucking of it, but then she pushed it off the table. Yeah, absolutely not. So what are you giving it for? A four. So I mean all that then, plus the pushing off, but then the owner stepping up and booting them like that's the cherry on the cake and that's, I think that's a42 for me.

00:14:59:10 - 00:15:26:05
Unknown
Right. Yeah. There's our first and last snaps on this podcast. I can't snap my fingers. Oh my. If you listen quietly you hear. That was a good story. It's just it's just Oh there's so many levels at the 4 to 4.2, 4.2. Now it's the pushing, it's the pushing the glass off the table for me that it's really.

00:15:26:05 - 00:15:51:06
Unknown

And if you have a story that you want to share, if you were a guest that maybe saw this whole interaction happen or you participated in something stupid or fine, put it on our subreddit.

So a few months ago, we've got So I'll give you a little bit background. So there's a, there's a usually one or two bartenders on and then we've got our security slash bar back.

00:16:42:21 - 00:17:05:22
Unknown
Brett who is fabulous, big white bald dude with tattoos that's relevant, but who's also like the sweetest human I have ever met. You're talking like, Yeah, a little angel. I mean, he is. Yeah, he's totally his daytime job is he works at a high school and it works with the kids with learning disabilities. Yeah, Yeah, That's his day job.

00:17:06:01 - 00:17:23:21
Unknown
Yeah. So sweet. And then he comes in and he's a badass. Yeah, he used to be the bad. He gets to be the good cop in the bad cop all the time. Right? Right. So, like, those are his two jobs. Bill is good cop, bad cop. So playing bad cop at the bar, right? Carl had left or he was not working that night.

00:17:23:21 - 00:17:42:09
Unknown
I can't remember if it was a Thursday or Saturday, but it it was a relatively it had to be Saturday because Brett does work. There's oh, shoot your show. Okay. So it was a Saturday night and Carl had already gone. So I was left to my devices, which is normally as long as it's a chill night, not so bad.

00:17:42:09 - 00:18:12:12
Unknown
So it was a pretty quiet night. Everybody was pretty nice. I had a few calm symphony goers. I just left, you know, a local performance of the theater and stumbled into the bar, a few cocktails, a couple of younger guys, some kids that walk in, I would say probably 15, 20 people max at the bar. And then I get this lady that comes in right behind a bunch of the symphony folks, and she's really irritated by making these people some martinis.

00:18:12:12 - 00:18:28:18
Unknown
And I'm like, Hey, man, I'm like, I'll be right with you. Like this. Something I can get. You think I need to see a wine list? I was like, Great. Okay. So I just figured she'll check that out and was like, Just let me know when you decide what you like. So wine list, she's looking it over and she's like, We'll all have this.

00:18:28:18 - 00:18:43:05
Unknown
And I was like, Oh, actually, we can't provide that by the glass, but I can get you a bottle saying, Well, I only want a glass. I was like, I, I'm sorry. Like, I just can't sell that, buy it, you know, by the glass. But I can, you know, get you a bottle of it. You can take it to your room.

00:18:43:05 - 00:19:02:07
Unknown
You don't have to, you know, finish it here. Right? And she's like, Oh, okay, well, I'll think about it. I was like, okay. So I figured she's still thinking and perusing list. So I finish some martinis and I come back to her and she's like, What about what about this bottle? That it wasn't on the list. She had just said a bottle that was on her mind.

00:19:02:07 - 00:19:23:03
Unknown
And I was like, Oh, I'm sorry. Like, we don't we don't have like, that's this is pretty much what we're limited to at this time. You know, sometimes we change it seasonally, but that's what we've got. And she says, Oh, fine, then just give me a shot at Jameson. I'm like, Whoa, I think I like, you know, normally people like I find just give me a glass of your house.

00:19:23:03 - 00:19:47:05
Unknown
Pinot Noir, you know? Right. Well, like, it wasn't even anything remotely in the same category. Like, just give me a shot of. I'm like, I'm right. Said it. Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. So I take the card from the other people. I'm like, All right, I'm going to open them, DAB whatever. I go get the shot of Davis and the manager, and she just looks at me with like, you know, people look through, you know, like they're just like, like, Oh, right.

00:19:47:05 - 00:20:19:21
Unknown
And at this point, since I wasn't really paying, like, visible attention to her, I'm seeing like, oh, I deserved that. She doesn't need alcohol. She needs more help than I can give her. That's and then it was too late. She already drank. It slams the shot glass down and yells her room number at me. And I'm like, Oh, no.

00:20:19:21 - 00:20:44:03
Unknown
And at this point I'm relatively new to working here. And she had had what I didn't notice was that underneath her, the wine list, the drink menu, she had a notebook she was writing something down. I was horrified. I was like, Oh, I've never met the owner of the whole Why? And she was about on age par with that.

00:20:44:04 - 00:21:03:19
Unknown
I was like, Oh no, this is somebody this might be someone with a hotel. I feel horrible. Like, what if I was, you know, like denied her a glass of wine? You know, I was like, Oh, no, I probably did something wrong. So anyway, she she takes her notebooks like swipes up and stormed out like I, you know, I was tired, whatever notes.

00:21:04:10 - 00:21:31:11
Unknown
So about an hour goes by. Nothing crazy. Then a few more people come in. Let's get a little busier. This woman returns in a bathrobe, opens the door and comes in carrying again her notebook and a bag only wearing a bathrobe. Talks to a couple of people. I'm not sure what she said to these people on her way in, but I'm trying to get drink orders caught up for people.

00:21:31:11 - 00:21:58:22
Unknown
All right. So, I mean, carrying a can of dog food, yellow can pedigree not? I'm not. I shit you not a fucking can of dog. And I'm like, you know, in the Wild West where you slam down a bottle of whiskey or like a cup. Slide it down. Right. Yeah. Like boom slide. There you go. Like, there's only enough room in this down for one of us.

00:21:59:05 - 00:22:23:11
Unknown
Like that. Yeah, like, give me another, you know? And I'm like, Oh, boy. And she does this with the dog food like slider down in front of, like five guests, like, almost knocks over, like, okay, this is I mean, can I, can I help you? What do you want me to do with the dog? Yeah, yeah, yeah. She starts screaming like when I tell you nonsense.

00:22:23:11 - 00:22:59:18
Unknown
Like if you've ever played the game, The Sims, it's like that's. Those were the worst language. Yeah. I'm like, This is it. This is real. And I'm trying to get Brett's attention. Poor angel. And I'm like, Brett, I need you to. Can you just. Can you grab her? Right. This isn't great. And so other people are like, and she and she starts yelling about how her father or her her or her uncle is a dog, and that's why she needed the dog food and her uncle owned the hotel.

00:22:59:22 - 00:23:22:12
Unknown
I'm like, That's not true. It's like, I don't know a lot about this place. Yeah, but I know on Flag, none of those things are real. I would have been prepped for that. Sorry to come back. Whoa. I was like, okay. I was like, This is about to get real. And so, yeah, Girl has these two super fans.

They're like 21, 22 year old kids. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. They're they're adorable and they're standing there. So, like Carl super fans are that, you know, they're looking for like, Oh, he's not here tonight, guys. And so they're deciding if they're going to go. It goes or else they're going to grab a drink and they're in the corner, like just watching this, like they're regulars and they're just like, What for?

This poured it. Is this the scene from Crazy, Stupid Love where episode hammered walks into the bar? There's. I've never seen this fucking way. I've never seen. I don't watch romcoms unless it's got Mindy Kaling. I fuck with her she's great but but dude, does that just walk right over to this kid and she's like, Help me and starts like begging these kids for help?

00:24:31:05 - 00:24:51:17
Unknown
And I'm like, What is going on? And Brett's like, Okay, man, she's fucking in a robe. She's in a hotel robe. It was like, Man, I think it's time. Like, you've got you've got to go, like, right. You. Brett's like, trying to be reasonable, and she, he, like, taps her on the shoulder and she, like, swoops, like, not swings at him, but just, like, throws her arm back to, like, get him off.

00:24:51:17 - 00:25:17:14
Unknown
So he's like, Get off of me. You're racist. Which, by the way, may I remind you, Brad is white. And this is a very white blond woman, maybe five, like all of five. Three. She might have been an inch taller than me, Like very petite blond. But she's not wearing shoes, by the way, either. That's red. Is barefoot in a bathrobe.

00:25:17:22 - 00:25:43:20
Unknown
Swift then proceeds to run around and like shit. Brett, however, I never heard of this story. You know, we told you about this. Like you told me, like the. Was that when you got to go read the play? But you only get like, the, the, the, the CliffsNotes, the annotated abridged. It was just, it was such a stupid night.

00:25:43:20 - 00:26:01:09
Unknown
And, you know, then there's other people that were like, you know, can I have an old fashioned? And I was like, do you see? Can you just get it? Didn't you see the thing that's happening? Can you just hold on? Like, right, like there's a train wreck. We just been watching it. Like, can I, can we resolve this for is that game playing?

00:26:01:09 - 00:26:29:11
Unknown
And our guy brought out a bag of popcorn like, we're not we're watching movies. We're like, we're not charging admission to this show. It's just a free show. May I remind you, like events early. See you. Just like Brett teases. They're out of the bar. So instead of the outdoor bar, there's the outdoors street access stories. There's also doors into the hotel lobby.

00:26:29:11 - 00:26:50:11
Unknown
So he chases. They're kind of out there where this precedes. I mean, I have to stay in the bar and like, take care of gas. But and apologize to them, you know? Right. Right. Gave a few more free drinks than I'm probably allowed to that night. But it was completely ridiculous. Wait, we charge drinks the hotel? Yeah. Yeah.

00:26:50:11 - 00:27:13:16
Unknown
Fuck it up. Damn it. Wonder my tits. So, what do I made so much money last year? No idea. Oh, really? Good. I have to rework this just to come back in. Or is that the last? That was the last of her. But Brett had to say sale. There. She gave the. Ah. Okay, so we have this God love.

00:27:14:07 - 00:27:37:15
Unknown
I'm sure that they think that they're trying their best and then children at our front desk at the hotel and they are the night desk monitors. Yeah. I mean in my audit, you know, their kids, they're not, they're barely 21 years old. They're kids and they're they think they're doing their best. It's fine. And, you know, this is one of them has divulged to me that he's very interested in becoming a bartender.

00:27:37:15 - 00:27:55:04
Unknown
He's like, I really, really want to watch Carl. I really want to, like, train and learn how to be a bartender. I'm like, I don't think that I think you should work on customer service first. I think that that's I think you can always learn to bartend. But like, right now what I see from you, like he was having a panic attack.

00:27:55:04 - 00:28:08:16
Unknown
He's like a panicking. This is nuts. You know, when Brett was dealing with that battle, Handle it. He'll call the cops, it'll be fine. And, you know, so he did. He called the cops. I mean, we had no freaking choice. This lady was absolutely crazy. I don't know. I was supposed to do it the can of dogfood it.

00:28:08:16 - 00:28:37:11
Unknown
I haven't like, I just grateful she didn't have a can opener. I'm like, I just want to open it all over. I would. I would've made her a new kind of dirty monkey. Oh, girl. You would have just given her way too much leash with crazy. You would have. But it was. It was so bad. And, I mean, we it is sad, you know, because we find out like it's a pretty serious mental health crisis.

00:28:37:11 - 00:28:58:19
Unknown
Right. And we already know that that's happening and everywhere in every community. And and it is definitely serious. Like to that point, you know, it's like she is probably, you know, a victim of her own mental illness. Right. Because it was pretty it is brutal. Right. I think that she is Jamison is what's she really doing? Perfectly fine.

00:28:59:09 - 00:29:28:12
Unknown
I don't think I'm the villain here, but you never know why you have one fucking line. Like, I just found the borderline giving her fucking glass. But it was it was so sad. Like we found out that apparently about an hour and a half prior, she had early release herself from the hospital in the psych units, and they.

00:29:28:19 - 00:30:03:08
Unknown
Yeah. So medical. Yeah. Advisement. Exactly. Okay. And then she did have, you know, access to money, credit cards, etc., because her family had initially committed her and then the police were then called after the family found out, she refused to go with her, who seemed to be a very stable, caring partner of some kind, her husband and a friend, seemingly.

00:30:03:08 - 00:30:32:03
Unknown
So, you know, she didn't want to go with him. So she was then put under arrest and then obviously taken in by the police. But when it was like my first night alone, Hey, welcome to the jungle. I had to be fucking kidding me. I mean, I think I remember some of that story. I think some of it sounds familiar, but I don't remember being that involved.

00:30:32:03 - 00:30:51:04
Unknown
But again, I mean, that was. You were in there. What happened so fast? Like, it was like, you know, it was like a one minute, you know, circumstance like one, two minute like, yeah, psychological time feels like 30 minutes. But it was probably only two and a half. Yeah, exactly. It's like, oh, my God. Like what? Because you have to, like, observe everything that's happening at the same time.

00:30:51:04 - 00:31:07:19
Unknown
And I'm like, this is absolutely like, no one's going to believe me. Like, I can't like, like, what am I going to write up? An incident report will scare the dog food and the lady in the shoes ready to roll. I wish you guys go back and like, look at the surveillance photos with them. Right? They had probably four police.

00:31:07:19 - 00:31:24:15
Unknown
They had kind of like a build up. Yeah, but I would love to see that cat and dog food on the desk. But we have granite countertops and black granite. Yeah, just like yellow. Can a dog done that with people with beer bottles report? I don't mean to because I kind of I kind of I sit down with slider.

00:31:24:21 - 00:31:51:17
Unknown
There's sometimes that thing is really polished really nice to slide a little further. That's what happens when the bar is not sticky. You can't really. Yeah I think we know who the asshole and you can't really call asshole for having that kind of. Yeah, I know who the the zero even zero is. The goddamn doctor or the nurse that let that bitch out.

00:31:51:19 - 00:32:18:10
Unknown
They very sort of let her see. Like adults are different. I mean, they have like adults have rights in the, in the medical field. And if you choose to take yourself out against medical advisement, then you take yourself out against medical advisement. Those words are locked. So she couldn't get out unless it was like unless she was able to get out, like and unless she was able to discharge her or somebody let her out, like, let's be real.

00:32:19:00 - 00:32:42:20
Unknown
But that doesn't happen, does it? Now, I'm just saying she was she's bankable. Like somebody could have, like, not cared about their job and just been like I was, you know, I mean, to me, it feels more like a negligent situation, Like maybe the door didn't close all the way. And she but now she if she had checked herself out, Emma, that means she was able to check herself out.

00:32:42:20 - 00:33:05:05
Unknown
But she I don't know. But public health crises, that's that's the way the real asshole is. The public health situation we have in America. Really shout out to all the people that are mental health care providers or social workers like go donate to your local nonprofits that support things like this. Not happening. You know, like go, go help out your local community.

00:33:05:05 - 00:33:22:19
Unknown
Yeah, well, the first and only the first thing, but part of it at the first beginning of story, when it where she went, we didn't have the one thing that she wanted and then they flip 180 degrees or something that happens all the time. Like I want this one thing, okay? And then I don't have that or I can't make that or do this or do it.

00:33:22:21 - 00:33:42:06
Unknown
Then they choose something off the complete different spectrum. Or I want a super fancy cocktail. I want this, I want that. Or you don't have buffalo Trace. You don't have. You were asking me bush like, what the fuck? But I'm so picky about your but you're going to drag a bush like, you know, like they don't they don't give a shit, man.

00:33:42:07 - 00:34:02:11
Unknown
I've seen people switch like white comic. What world do you even like? Okay, Sometimes that's just all they want. They only want this or fuck it. Yeah, it's. Might as well just have a water. Yeah, exactly. So I'll give that story, man, that's really up there. I mean, because I've never seen this. I've never been a part of something like that before.

00:34:02:11 - 00:34:27:05
Unknown
So I go for five on that bitch. The dog food and the robe. That's the one with all the noses, the no shoes to the left or shit. So I remember there's this one hotel. We stayed for a weekend. I don't know if this is before you said four or five. Four or five? Yeah. With you or I don't remember, but I swear I was walking through the lobby to get to the I think.

00:34:27:15 - 00:34:54:12
Unknown
And it wasn't wearing shoes I yelled at all the time by the front. This you wear shoes that's nothing like sorry but, but whatever. I mean you got to get like some slides. Oh he didn't wear flip flops. I didn't have four people at the time. Old Navy sold them for 250. That's different. I thought they a dollar they at one point you and they had the sales they were Yeah I am I was being generous because I didn't know if they had them on sale at the time.

00:34:54:20 - 00:35:14:15
Unknown
Okay I don't do enough on Navy. I don't think everyone saw them. That's okay. I was a lifeguard so I had to replace and I was saving my against can see that I had to replace my flip flops once like every two weeks. I could never work in like a bar that was like a pool. I'm. I can't swim first.

00:35:14:15 - 00:35:37:18
Unknown
I see. I'll be ironic as as a former black bartender that doesn't swim. I mean, no, that's not. That's kind of like on the nose, But as a former lifeguard who knows about water safety and somebody who knows about alcohol safety, those two things never be combined. Oh, no, no. I was listening to this Hannibal breaststroke. I think it was Hannibal.

00:35:37:18 - 00:36:12:13
Unknown
Yeah, Hannibal Perez. And he's like, you know, is it the black people can't swim or the white lifeguards racist? It's like, Which is it, though? 6040. Yeah. It's like anybody's guess. So which is what's your score, Riley? I'm it's the dog food for me but like, it's also the mental health crisis for me. And maybe it's because I worked in the industry where mental crises were very common.

00:36:12:13 - 00:36:36:11
Unknown
I mean, yeah, it's got to, it's got to be a for two, it's got to be four to does. Thankfully, it didn't get worse. Right? Because on the on the spectrum of mental health crises that was fairly mild, right? Absolutely I mean that she was eventually like you know safely detained and I don't I don't enjoy that. The police have to be involved, too.

00:36:36:13 - 00:36:59:10
Unknown
Right. When they tried not to, they tried like calling three different people, like and, you know, they got in her phone and they're like, hey, right. What do you rate your own story? I rated a 4.5, like I say, 4.5 because, you know, like it can't possibly be the craziest things are happening, right? There's just no I got many more way crazier but they like strip club bars, right?

00:36:59:18 - 00:37:21:11
Unknown
Well, plus, we got more nights ahead of us bartending, so, you know, right. Morning. Tomorrow break. All right. Yeah, well, your clothes for the day. I'm working on my other. My other joy am so perfect. Awesome. Well, that wraps up this episode. Carrie, thank you so much for coming on. So much for having me. I'm so glad to have been able to be.

00:37:21:15 - 00:37:39:04
Unknown

We're going to interview Carrie for a little bit more, figure out her life a little bit more, her bartending life and wherever else implicit supports the show.
