Tales From An Airport Bar
Tales From An Airport Bar
Ep 11: OT With AT
Remember the first time you stepped into an airport bar and realized it was a world of its own? This week, we invite you to pull up a stool and join our co-bartender AT, a Mississippi native turned Texan, who shares his fascinating transition from serving lattes to crafting cocktails. Listen as AT takes us on a trip down memory lane, reliving his early days at Starbucks before discovering the greener pastures of airport bartending. With better pay, structured hours, and a delightful mix of patrons, AT's journey is filled with laughter and unexpected run-ins, including a memorable saga with a cane-wielding senior citizen determined to defy the bar's drink limits.
The chaos doesn't stop there as we find ourselves amidst the holiday frenzy, encountering a flamboyant traveler who brings his own brand of drama to the bar. Picture a scene where this new-to-the-airport character fumbles through social blunders, trying to charm everyone from families to businesswomen. As tensions rise and accusations fly, our patient bartender Bailey keeps the peace with grace and humor, proving that sometimes the biggest challenge isn't serving drinks but managing the personalities that come with them. It's a rollercoaster of laughs and lessons on handling the unpredictable with style.
And just when you think you've heard it all, Saturday morning at the airport bar introduces us to Marty, whose quirks and confrontations over drink presentations test the limits of bartending patience. Navigating these unpredictable waters is no small feat, but it's all part of the adventure of airport bartending, where no two days are alike. Join us for stories that bring out the humor in the hustle and the art of maintaining a welcoming atmosphere despite the occasional bump in the road. Grab your headphones, sit back, and enjoy the tales behind the bar.
Hey guys, welcome back. Episode 11,. Pull Up A Bar Stool. Welcome back to TFAB. Tales From An Airport Bar. I've got my esteemed co-host Blake. I'm Chris and this week we have our co-bartender, our good friend and colleague AT. Welcome to the show. What's up, man, what's up? So tell us a little bit about your background. Where are you from? Where are you?
Speaker 2:from Well, originally from Mississippi, been living in the DLW since 2000. This is home. You're a Texan.
Speaker 1:Definitely Okay. Oh yeah, been here long enough. You're like me, got here as quick as you could Never left. So how did you get into working into the airport?
Speaker 2:Tell us a little bit about that. First time I ever worked in the airport was probably 2007. Me and a good friend of mine, we both applied to work at HMSz. We ended up being baristas at Starbucks and that was my first job there.
Speaker 1:That was short-lived, you know son, I remember, yeah, we've talked about those stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was short-lived, I can imagine for that pay.
Speaker 3:Dealing with that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know, I was young though.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you're like let's just see it was a job. I was young, though In your life, let's just see, it was a job.
Speaker 2:I was in high school, you went to the airport.
Speaker 3:That's cool. Let's see what's up.
Speaker 2:My friend. He stayed there the whole time after I left, which was over 10 plus years. After that, I was re-invited to go start serving tables at the restaurant. That's how I ended up working at Cantina.
Speaker 1:Okay so.
Speaker 3:What were your first thoughts the first week you started doing this? Yeah, was it bad? And different.
Speaker 2:You know, coming from street side serving I had been working, I had been working at AHA serving overnight. That's a whole different crowd right there. They're all restaurants when they get to use, dealing with a whole bunch of different types of people. You know, drunks outside of it for small tips, if not, you know.
Speaker 3:Sorry, I spent it all at the bar. If you get a, tip at all.
Speaker 2:So you know, versus going to the airport, I thought it was a little bit more structured. I was doing the same work, if not less work, for more money. That was all I needed to see. This will work, probably less hours. Definitely less hours, less work, more money.
Speaker 1:No brainer.
Speaker 3:We about.
Speaker 1:You mentioned some crazy run-ins, this and that no brainer. So you mentioned some crazy run ins, this and that. I was talking with one of our other co-bartenders this morning and we'll have him on soon enough. Shout out to our boy, bailey, but so tell me about a time a crippled old man tried to fight you. What's good, aj.
Speaker 2:I don't know if he tried to fight me or if he had some type of energy about himself, but he didn't want that. I didn't want that either, because I don't want to be going to jail for fighting a handicapped. You know they take that serious. That's not good. I was taught to respect my elderly. But he come to the bar, him and his wife I'm assuming they had been elsewhere drinking because he was kind of chill. He came in and he got his Michelob Ultra, she got her seltzer water. Get him another drink. He's throwing it back All of a sudden. Me and Bailey, we go about our day. All you hear is stop it, like from behind us. I'm looking around. I don't see anything that's noticeable. I guess they're trying to, they're arguing amongst themselves, but you know We've seen that before. Yeah.
Speaker 3:So I stay out of their business Traveling with a couple is stressful.
Speaker 2:All I know is three beers later his wife gets up and leaves the restaurant and he asked for another one. So I give him what he asked for. He also asked for another shot. He asked for a shot to go with that last beer and I told him about. You know, the four-drink limit Can't have more than four. I apologize, you know, it definitely don't help me. The four drink limit Can't have more than four. I apologize, it definitely don't help me but it helps me.
Speaker 2:It's just a law, I'm just doing my job. So you know, the typical guy like him of his age, the elderly guy that is told what he can't have, he responded like a child, he got angry, tells me don't have he responded like a child.
Speaker 1:He got angry, tells me.
Speaker 2:Don't you be like that. You don't tell me what to. I'm sorry, sir, I'm going to take that shot from you. I grab the drink and I throw it away. You don't need it. I'll resell it. That's on me, okay, he's on me, okay. He gives his card. Once he gets his card, I swipe him and charge him. He's still rowdy, still talking crazy. He's like don't you be dirty, don't you be low down? I'm like, excuse me, sir. He's like what's wrong? You want to talk down? I'm like, excuse me, sir, what's wrong? You want to talk? I said actually, sir, I don't want to talk, I'm done talking, that's it.
Speaker 2:But I would like to keep my job, so I'm going to go get the manager. I can't tell when you can talk to him if you want to talk. I walk out of the bar and he's sitting on seat four or five. He raises up as if he was ready to get ready to fight or something. And I look and I I like to see, was him balancing himself on a cane. Bro, I, I felt so stupid. I felt so stupid for the fact that I let a guy that ain't even physically fit get me out my character, as if he wanted to fight. I would walk to the back. He like yeah, what's up, little man, what you want to do, little man, let's talk. Bro, I don't want to talk to you.
Speaker 2:I will come slap you, but this ain't the time or the place, and I know better than that Because we are at the airport and my background is clean. I would like to keep it that way.
Speaker 3:This is somebody else's job to handle it.
Speaker 2:Now we've got to this point, they get up. At this point I go get the manager, they get up. They have a word with him. He's getting up, he's leaving anyway and they just, you know, from that point forward I saw him hobbling and he was one too many. It was one too many and he was drinking Ultra. Just put that out there.
Speaker 3:Normally, when someone's drinking Ultra, you're like, alright, we're not going to get that rowdy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know, but yeah, that was that he felt tough. We're not gonna get that rowdy, yeah, but yeah that was dead.
Speaker 1:He felt. He felt tough. You know it happens time and again um jesus uh, speaking of tough guys, uh, um, we've had all kinds of incidents. Bailey was telling me also about a time somebody called him a cracker. Not to be confused with a couple of times we're going to talk about here in a second that I've been called a cracker. Do you recall this one about Bailey, though?
Speaker 2:I definitely do. I hear that word every day.
Speaker 1:And I don't know why that's been so predominant of a word lately.
Speaker 2:It's just, I don't know, it's just another term. People of ignorance use Whatever, but that was funny after the fact. It was definitely funny after the fact and this is why. So the guy come in, he has it's like the middle of December, he has some like a purple t-shirt, he has some earphones, like some earmuffs, he's bald-headed, he got tattoos and he got piercings on his eyebrows, on his nose, says you know somebody that's going to alert you just off appearance. And I'm not judging, it's just, it's just human nature. That being said, he come in the bar, he get his drink, he's chilling. You can always tell when somebody not used to traveling, not used to being in the airport, and this is just one of those cases and it's that time of year, it's Christmas time, it's Christmas holiday.
Speaker 2:People are traveling Guy comes in, he's all dramatic about missing his flight because he was delayed from his earlier flight. Of course you know that's typical in the airport. Come in and get his beer, drink, chips and salsa. Also order a shot. I don't know what it is about the combination of a beer and a shot. It just brings something out of people, Yep.
Speaker 3:It's probably something they're not normally doing A lot of them too.
Speaker 2:All right. So this guy, he's already dramatic about how he's, you know, late for his plane. Oh man, I don't know what I'm going to do. He keeps getting all the notifications from American Airlines. They keep pushing his flight bag. All right, sir, can I get another one? Can I get another one? Okay, this is his third beer. He proceeds to get up and go to this lady's table with her daughter younger daughter she had to be at least 12 years or younger and he starts to flirt with her. Wow, Jesus Christ, here we go. The lady runs him away and I'm looking. I'm like man, do you see that guy? He's over here tripping, he moving, as if we are in a nightclub. But this is not that type of environment where you have to be doing that, and it's definitely not the age range to be doing that, definitely Club Cantina.
Speaker 2:He leaves her table and of course you know we got those business travelers, group of young women, group of women traveling together for work. There was about four of them at the table. They had six chairs pulled up, one was empty. He just invites himself to their table, sit down, start a conversation. They're laughing and giggling. Of course they're brushing them off. He proceeds to buy them a drink. He only bought two drinks out of four. He keeps coming to the bar. He comes from their table to the bar, like let me get another one. Let me get another one. Okay, sir, now we're noticing what's going on and we're looking at the ladies, their body language. All right, it's about enough for him. He keeps closing his tab. We're getting zeros on every tab. Okay, no big deal. He comes back. He's trying to impress this lady, this other lady who came from the restaurant. Get her a drink. I'm sorry, sir, you reached your limit of four. We can no longer get you a drink. You can go to the next bar there's plenty of other options.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this is what Bailey is telling him. I'm sorry, you know I can't get you another and we already reached your limit. The man respond oh, are you for real On Larry? On Larry, this ain't no, no racist shit. Right, you ain't being racist, is it? Bailey called me down. He called me down. Can you let them know that? You know I said I'm sorry, bro, it's just a rule that we got. We've been under the radar, you know, we're just trying to keep our job. And if you know, Bailey he's the nicest fucking guy.
Speaker 3:The farthest thing from you.
Speaker 2:One of the most beautiful human beings, one of the best people I ever met. One of the best people I ever met Exactly One of the best guys I've ever met Always does the right thing you know calm head Grew up in the same neighborhood as I did.
Speaker 3:So it's like you know.
Speaker 2:I know him yes.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 2:Bailey's good people. Oh, Larry, this ain't no crazy shit. I don't know what racist shit is. I said I'm sorry, bro, this ain't it. You just got to go somewhere else and get you a drink, no problem. Now that's how that ended. After he called Bailey racist and all that. You know Bailey was like red. You know he was flustered a little bit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I'm like bro, trust me, I know how that go.
Speaker 2:Don't you know. Don't let that get to you, bro. He's another ignorant individual that don't know.
Speaker 1:He ain't used to being outside, it's just man you can just tell people are good and social and say it without being rude or being an asshole, but it's just some people that don't know better.
Speaker 2:Some people just don't listen until you make them listen, right? So, that being said, this is where it gets funnier after the fan for me. Me and Bailey shake. We go about it like that I'm shaking the margarita back to work.
Speaker 3:We got plenty to do.
Speaker 2:I said Bailey, this is so funny. This guy have no clue that, outside his element, he's trying to get back to Chicago. I had a conversation with him. He's trying to get back to Chicago. I had a conversation with him, he's trying to get back to Chicago. So I'm just putting context tools together. Because of the environment I grew up in in Mississippi, I know a lot of stuff that goes on when it comes to gang-related stuff. I know a lot of that lingo. It comes together. So when they come about, I'm talking to baby. I'm like baby he talking about some Aunt Larry. He don't understand that none of that game related stuff is going to help him in this airport. There's nobody care.
Speaker 1:Most people here don't understand that either.
Speaker 2:Exactly, he's talking to Bailey Bailey. They was going straight over Bailey here.
Speaker 3:Once I heard the Aunt Larry I was like oh.
Speaker 2:So I'm like Bailey, you never heard, you don't know who Larry is. He said, bro, I have no clue. I said okay.
Speaker 3:Well, let me just give you a breakdown.
Speaker 2:It's this guy. He's one of the known founders of this gang called the Gangster Disciples. He's out of Chicago, where it was founded at. Okay, I said um the reason why I know about it, because the guys usually you know he got a background in mississippi, blah, they blind, so a lot of that go on in my, my neighborhood. Yeah, you're like. Really I said bailey forget all that you ain't never heard rick ross. That's when the light bulb went off. I think I'm beating me.
Speaker 3:He's your best out singing that in the middle of the ball I'm like bro, that's who he talking about.
Speaker 2:no, that's larry man. So from that point forward I was like I'm walking, I'm working in an environment where it's like so diverse to where it's like people really don't, people really don't. People haven't been exposed to that. People are completely clueless to a lot of stuff that go on in the world. I'm lucky enough to be in a spot where I can see it all.
Speaker 3:Yes, At the airport. You fucking see it all.
Speaker 2:Yes, that's one of my favorite things.
Speaker 1:That's a perk of the job I always say and it's's always diverse, and there's always something going on, it's never boring, even if it's slow as shit.
Speaker 1:Something crazy bad um, so I'm gonna segue into. Uh time a young man came up to seat 14 and I just said hey, welcome in. Tried to hand him a menu. I said hey, welcome in. Can I grab him a menu? I said hey, welcome in. Can I grab you? Can I get you started with something to drink? He goes um, I don't even want to talk to you, cracker and I was like AT. At, can you handle this please?
Speaker 2:I was standing right there and this don't make sense to why people would approach someone that they don't know like that.
Speaker 3:Especially someone. They want something from.
Speaker 2:Yeah Now. Yeah, this guy. He just come up to the bar. Like I said, we doing our job, yeah, just doing our job.
Speaker 1:I'm here with Chris.
Speaker 2:Chris is helping somebody else, so I take care of him. How you doing, man? What can I get for you? Ah, water, I just need water. I can tell by. Again. He all hyper about ordering water, so I just put the menu in front of him and get him a water. I walk to the well, make the service drink by this time. Chris, double bed. How you doing, man? Oh, that's good. Can I get a start for you? He already got me on. Fuck with you, crackers.
Speaker 1:That's what it was.
Speaker 2:Bro. I heard that, bro, I was so embarrassed. Why am I embarrassed? For somebody, I don't know? Because you're a young African-American. That's making me look bad Now. You ever heard of guilty by association? I grew up in an environment where there's you know, it's the elephant in the room. So here in Texas, when I moved from Mississippi to Texas, you know, I saw a lot more diversity. It was a culture shock for me being here after all that time and to go to a place like the airport and have that type of encounter with somebody. It just let me know how being ignorant is a choice. Being ignorant is a choice, bro. It ain't no explanation for it. There ain't no explanation for that. So, that being said, this young man got his water, said what he said to Chris and got up and left. After he drank his water. Bro, there was no point for him even to be there, in my opinion.
Speaker 3:Did he tell him I'm good, drink your water and leave? Yeah, and then we never saw this guy again Never, yeah.
Speaker 2:Another example of people that's not used to traveling in the airport.
Speaker 3:A lot of these people aren't used to being out of their house.
Speaker 2:since COVID they're not used to being around people period.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was one of them, and then I don't remember if I was working with you I think it was or if I was working with Bailey. The time there was a guy in a wheelchair and I don't recall exactly how it went down.
Speaker 3:He came back the next day looking for you, I was like this crazy guy with a back the next day looking for Chris and I was like this crazy guy with the broken leg came in looking for Chris and he thought I was him.
Speaker 1:So he comes in.
Speaker 2:I was on the floor and Chris, yeah.
Speaker 1:Do you recall that incident? I?
Speaker 2:do recall that I was on the floor and you and Bailey were bartending.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay, bailey was there.
Speaker 2:He got wheeled up To the chair.
Speaker 1:To the side of the bar where the wheelchair service part is.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, so he just like pushed one chair out in the wheel where a certain kind of piece of drink. Of course you know he had one beer Again. Theme of the day One beer in a shot. So you know, like he, just I don't know what happened to him, man. He was just an ignorant young man. It was like he got everything he needed. I don't know who would. Who was serving him at the time. I was just a boss member.
Speaker 1:I was there, I saw it, but you know, I don't really recall I believe it was me and I went to cut him off and that's when he was like what are you talking about? And that's when I had to call the police and they found pills on him.
Speaker 2:Yes, I do recall that now. Yeah, I was actually serving on the floor and the whole restaurant was like what they stopped what?
Speaker 3:If someone gets loud in there, everyone's going to hear it.
Speaker 2:That's the number one thing you don't want to do at the airport is make a scene.
Speaker 3:Don't draw attention to yourself.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:If you're doing dumb shit, at least do it smart and incognito. I just don't do it at all yeah there's so many eyes and ears on you and you're on federal property. That's what I try and remind people when they get rowdy. Remember you are on federal property Act nice here Act good here.
Speaker 1:Or I will throw your phone away.
Speaker 2:They kept me out to fight with the old guy with the cane.
Speaker 3:They're like you know what, I know where I am. This is not going to be good.
Speaker 1:Okay, speaking of crazy people and trying to fight, why don't you tell us Blake?
Speaker 3:what people? And trying to fight? Why don't you tell us, blake, what happened last weekend? Okay, all right, so it's it's Saturday morning. We start pouring alcohol in Texas at 7 am.
Speaker 1:Okay, it's about 7, except for on Sundays, 10 to noon, you have to have food.
Speaker 3:Blah, blah, blah, blah this is Saturday, okay, so it's 7 in the morning. I, you know, I just got the bar set up. I got all the liquor out. I'm just trying to figure out what I need, making a list, prepping shit. Still need to go get some coffee, haven't even had it yet. I'm just trying to get stuff set up so I can get through my day.
Speaker 3:And I work alone on Saturday, so it's just me. It's early in the morning, there's no one in the restaurant and this guy comes up and he's being kind of weird, just kind of seems like an eccentric, kind of weird guy. And it's 7 in the morning. So I don't know, people are just weird, they're tired. Whatever, I try to be cool to everybody when I can, keyword when I can, and anyways, he's talking about how he wants to get a margarita. I'm just like, hey, man, just grab a seat. He hasn't even grabbed a seat yet, he's just standing there talking. I'm like, just grab a seat, we'll get you going, man. And then he wants a margarita. So I go to the well and start making it. As I'm making it, he wants to stand there and watch and try and coach me through it. I said, and I'm fucking times, yeah, exactly Okay, a little sauce on that Bill.
Speaker 3:I'm like it's going to be great when you get it, don't worry, and if it's not, we'll get something else. So I get it to him. He sits at the seat right in front of the well and he's still just being kind of weird, kind of whispering, talking about weird stuff. I don't know what he's weird. He's not slurring, he doesn't have bloodshot eyes or anything. He's not getting angry.
Speaker 3:Yet At one point while I'm talking to him, he does jokingly say fuck you to me and I say Marty that's not what you say to your bartender if you like to keep drinking, and he goes, okay, I'm just kidding, kind of cools off, and I thought that was kind of going to be the end of it.
Speaker 1:This is a family restaurant, by the way.
Speaker 3:And so he's still talking to me about some bullshit. I don't know what he's talking about. I'm just like nodding my head, yeah, and then he goes. Well, I'm talking to you, let me get a shot. I said cool, what do you want? He goes, don Julio. I said great, do you want the Añejo or do you want the big boy, the 1942? He says I want the 1942. I say great, that's a $30 shot.
Speaker 3:I like that. And I say do you want it neat or do you want it chilled? He goes I would like it chilled, great. So I pour my shot, pour it in my little measuring thing, pour it in the thing ice it shake the shit out of it. He watches me do all this because he's sitting at the seat right next to the well, he can see all this happen. Okay, and as I'm shaking up his shot, another guy sits about five seats down the way. So I know I got to go greet him.
Speaker 3:So I pour that chilled shot, you know, strain the ice out, put it in front of my guy, marty here, and then I go to greet the next guy. Sees the shot Doesn't say anything. Cool, I assume he's going to take it. He's got two drinks. There's nothing else I can do for him. I go to greet this next guy About ten seconds into it. You know, hey, how you doing. Man, can I get you something to drink? A beer, bloody Mary? He goes uh, excuse me, why the fuck would you give this to me? And I go, marty, I'll be right with you. And so I start.
Speaker 3:And so I'm trying to get this next time I get a beer order and I go back and I'm like what's up, marty, why the fuck would you give this to me like this? I go this is exactly what you asked for. You wanted a chilled shot of 1942. I wanted this on the fucking rocks. I said, marty, we went over this. But you know what? No problem, we're not going to do any more shots. He doesn't have a sip of it. I grab it from out front and I say I'm going to buy this for you. I pour it in the sink. I say we're not doing shots anymore. We're good on shots. He doesn't like that. He gets a little snippy.
Speaker 3:He just yeah, he's not trying. I go, marty, you are on federal property, chill out, man. I'm trying to be cool here. And then he says a couple fuck yous to me and I'm like quit. And then he looks at the other guy that sat down, my guy Matt, and he goes fuck you, matt. And I said you know what that's it? He's had about again. It's probably 7.08 at this point. He's been there three minutes. He's probably had two sips out of this Margarita. I said you know what you to snatch it out from in front of him poured in the sink. I said we're good here.
Speaker 3:Marty, you can try your luck anywhere else. There's plenty of other bars, but we're good here. And I just say it like that. I'm not trying to be mean, still, I'm just. I'm just being blunt. I'm just saying we're done here, you're good. I'm not gonna make him pay for anything. I'm cutting ties. I'm like just go about your day, man, you can go anywhere else. He doesn't't like that. Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you. I say Marty, you see those police officers over there. So now a lady and a baby had just fallen down the escalator about right when Marty came in. So there's a lot going on. It's just crazy. It's chaotic, it's 7-0-8.
Speaker 2:They are already on the scene.
Speaker 1:So the police are in the corner.
Speaker 3:They're trying to help this lady and make sure the baby's good and like waiting for EMT to come and you know, I say, marty, you need to leave again.
Speaker 3:And I go either me or those nice uniformed officers over there are going to get you out of here, or you can walk yourself out. Those are your choices. And he's just talking shit. And then he's like do I need to come around? I say, marty, that's not going to work out the way you think it is. I promise you I will put you in a pretzel. And that's when I was like you know what? Dude, you've got 30 fucking seconds to leave. He wants to just keep you yapping. He just keeps doubling and tripling down. And I said, you know what? Okay, so I go out the back of the bar. One of the servers had already got the police, so they wave him over and he's like I'm going to steal your fucking chair.
Speaker 1:Shout out to Sammy yes.
Speaker 3:So he tries to pick up the bar stool. It's this big, heavy fucking, I'm going to steal it. I say, okay, man, good luck with that. He can't even pick it up. He now he's on the edge of the restaurant talking to the police. The police are like get the fuck over here, man, what's going on? And he's just like yelling at them.
Speaker 1:What's your name?
Speaker 3:He's like get away from me, like trying to Heisman them. I'm like that's not a good move.
Speaker 1:Oh, Marty.
Speaker 3:And they're trying to be cool and they're just trying to talk to him and figure out what's going on. He, I need my fucking receipt. Here's the receipt of that drink. I didn't even let you drink, take it. So they go over there because they wanted to make sure he wasn't over-served. I mean, he had two sips. And they're talking to him and talk to him and I go around to pick up the bar stool because he fucking slammed it on the ground.
Speaker 3:Cool, and I'm just like. I'm like Matt, I'm sorry, dude, this is crazy. I'm kind of just ignoring it. He pulls something out of his bag and starts chugging it while he's looking at it and I don't know what it is. I'm just trying to separate myself from the situation. I'm like they got it handled and then, after I put that barstool up, I'm walking back to the bar and some sort of glass slams into the bar and explodes, which Marty had thrown. I'm like what the fuck? I thought he just threw a salt shaker or something. When I'm sweeping it up later, it's a bottle of fucking brandy that he pulled out of his bag and he had just fucking sunned it.
Speaker 3:And I'm like what the fuck? And I only knew this because the stem, when I was sweeping it up for 10 minutes because it went all over the fucking restaurant, I hit the bar. It came within a foot of hitting Matt. I said, matt, I'm going to buy you a beer, dude, I'm sorry. He's like no, it's fine. Anyways, the cops come back and get that later. But I was just like Jesus Christ, it's 7.08.
Speaker 1:It's been there for three minutes. The bar hasn't even been open in ten minutes.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and so he fights the police. They have just slam him into the table. Oh, my pinky, my pinky. And then he's like there's a lady dying over there and you guys are harassing me. I'm like, then quit drawing attention to yourself, you jackass and just like every opportunity that he had a chance to just like chill out and get out, he doubled and tripled down and yeah, so that was how I started my day. I did not uh need coffee after that, but yeah, definitely not uh-huh, that's a good time it's a good time.
Speaker 1:Everybody else is cool I don't think that guy was ignorant. I think he he was just dumb.
Speaker 2:He had a good night the night before. Apparently, he did.
Speaker 3:And he was enough to go onto the radar and me halfway not notice it. But I try to be cool, I try to give anybody one drink, but anyways.
Speaker 1:And Blake, you're going to post a link to this. No, I'm not going to post that.
Speaker 3:I would love to, but my manager sent that to me and I do like my jobs. Yeah, exactly, I'm sure you can imagine this enough. I hope I painted enough of a picture, jesus man. So yeah, I didn't drink any coffee after that. That was good. I thought I was going to have to whoop some dude's ass at 7 in the morning. Alright, just another day at the airport. I didn't drink any coffee after that. That was good. I thought I was going to have to whoop some dude's ass at 7 in the morning. All right, just another day at the airport, you know.
Speaker 1:As our busser Ab would say, it's always the first person, the first guest and the last guest.
Speaker 3:That's it Every single freaking time 99% of it in between is cool as shit and loves you and has a great time. They all get what they need, regardless. Now they may have something to say about it, but everybody gets what they need. Everybody gets treated the same. Everybody gets taken care of, but yeah.
