Speaker 1I figured we'd let you guys join in eventually. Yeah, all right, carrie, talk to us. Let's start with how long you've been at the airport.
Speaker 2I have been working at the airport since August of 2020. So just had four years in August, okay.
Speaker 1So you started right before COVID hit Right after everybody came back from COVID.
Speaker 2After everybody came to Cantina. That's right. Yeah, that was almost the time I came back to there too.
Speaker 1You came back. I think it was around the same time, right when you started, so we yeah, yeah, so, we yeah.
Speaker 2So almost four years, almost Well, just over four Over four years, yeah, just over four years, yeah, well, yeah, because it's totally different now. It's like COVID didn't ever happen at the airport no masks though no, you know, that was a wild time still a wild time.
Speaker 1I was at the grocery store last night and this guy was wearing a mask. I was like what are you doing, dude? He's probably sick and I want to get you sick, you still see people with masks.
Speaker 2Why are you working if you're sick?
Speaker 1because sick and I want to get you sick. You still see people with masks. Why are you working if you're sick? Because I don't want to get the flu and I need to make money for these kids. That's why I'm wearing masks.
Speaker 2Yeah, I know a guy like that.
Speaker 1I got a lot of kids myself. I'm just saying, those friends of yours ain't going to find themselves if you're sick, that's right, not at Christmas time, so tell us a little bit about some of the concepts you've worked at, gary.
Speaker 2Man, you know, cantina there for a little while, which was the serving life, and that was. It was good, it was good. Don't get me wrong I have nothing to knock about here. Do you miss chips and salsa? No, I don't miss the kitchen. I don't miss coworkers.
Speaker 1I'm not going to lie to you.
Speaker 2I'm the best coworkworker I've ever had. Yeah, listen, I'm my own boss, I'm my own bartender, I'm my own manager, I'm my own hot dog maker. Yeah, I'm the chef, I'm all of it. So if I'm getting completely murdered, it's because of me. But I clean it up and I get to leave with all the money. So I'm not I won't ever complain about that for sure. Um, yeah, I don't. I don't miss the restaurant life after being behind the bar where I'm at, just sling drinks in here here's a bag and a little bit of food, yeah some chips here you
Speaker 1go yeah I don't blame you, no, so you have moved on from the chips and salsa.
Speaker 2I have moved on from the.
Speaker 1So, now you're just in a little tiny bar, correct?
Speaker 2Yes, a little standalone satellite bar with a bunch of smaller gates, so smaller planes that go to more regional airports.
Speaker 1It's basically 10 gates and like a 12-seat bar with some tables.
Speaker 2Yeah, I have 22 chairs. It's kind of like a 12 seat bar with some tables. Yeah, I have 22 chairs. It's kind of like a trailer park.
Speaker 1It's kind of like a trailer park attached to the main terminal.
Speaker 2You know when you look at the aerial view of Rodeo Bar at the airport. It looks like the airport bar because all the planes are parked around this one little tiny.
Speaker 1Yeah, so it looks like all the planes are parked around this one little tiny.
Speaker 2Yeah, so it looks like all the pilots are having their drinks. It's the only thing out there and there's a little convenience store type yeah they don't take cash, so I get a lot of the you take Apple Pay.
Speaker 1I do now. You don't take cash at Rodeo, no, at the store next door. I was like you have to take cash at Rodeo Amore. You do now. No, no, no At the store next door. Oh okay, I was like what the hell?
Speaker 2Oh y'all send me riot. Cash is so dirty you never know where it's been.
Speaker 1Same Me too. You don't know where I've been. Whatever, cash is king, all right.
Speaker 2There could be 500 people sitting in that little for sure yeah, well, in the way that it works like I'll get seven flights in one right then within 15 to 20 minutes, so like when I, when I first get there for a two o'clock shift, I'm walking down the ramp and it's.
Speaker 2It looks so busy because 30, 31 and 32 are boarding and I'm like, oh my god, she's getting flabbed, she's still so. Yeah, it's, it's great, it's great, it's great. But I get to meet all the different types of people from all the different little towns that these airplanes fly to, and it's a trip Emphasis on little towns, little Little Well, and I think about it like I live pretty close to the airport, within 30 minutes, typically on a good day, yeah but we live in a huge metro place.
Speaker 1Some of these people drive. When they land they drive 100 miles to the airport 30 minutes, typically on a good day. Yeah, but we live in a huge metro place.
Speaker 2They drive 100 miles to the hotel. They tell me that every night they're like. Well, I land at midnight in Perkomsk and then I gotta get my rental car drive three hours to the hotel. I'm like, well, please start having another day. Yeah, no, yeah so they. I fly into Billings and then I drive Jesus, yeah, no, yeah, so they.
Speaker 1Oh, everybody is local I fly into Billings and then, yeah, I drive almost all the way to Canada. They'll be like they'll be on their fourth drink. They're like well, I still got to drive three hours. When I get there later You'll be like oh good, well you got a.
Speaker 2you got a bottle in the car, Don't worry.
Speaker 1The sheriff gave me a round bag and a beer when he stopped me anyway, so I blend in with everybody else You'll probably take a hit off my firebox.
Speaker 2No joke, there's only one red light. It's fine, but you know what, working with these gates, I have so many regulars at the airport, it's insane.
Speaker 1I have so many people that I see.
Speaker 2I literally walked in about a month ago and there was, I knew, eight out of the 12 people sitting at the bar and I was like this feels like every other bar I've ever worked at outside of the airport.
Speaker 1And then when the people at the bar that aren't the regulars, they're like what is going?
Speaker 2on Like last night last night Okay.
Speaker 1So we had. We had a bunch of people in and they all left. We closed early, like 7.30. Everybody's like what? There's no food. I'm like hey bar only. This is what I do for a living. I have no control over the food.
Speaker 2I'll put a line in your drink.
Speaker 1Yes, right, with a smile, yeah, and then the flight gets delayed. So my co-bartender was not happy because they all flooded back in the bar and it was go time, money, money and everybody was tipping very nice.
Speaker 2Well, everyone's trying to get something going, so for another 45 minutes.
Speaker 1you know we made a little rack and but it's so. Everybody's there. I'm doing the name game. There's like probably 11, 12 people sitting at the bar and I've done last call for like 14 times, which is not usually cool to the other bartender. The other bartender has just totally left the building because we had one foot out the door.
Speaker 1I mean we would have been out of there by 7.45, 8 o'clock Because you were already pre-closed. So we did get out of there kind of early, like 9, something like that, 9.15, and anyways it wasn't horrible. And but anyways I've got everybody sitting at the bar doing the name game. Just get done, calling every all 11, 12 people out. You know not that big a deal, it wasn't that many people. And here comes Charlie and I was like and Charlie, and everybody starts going nuts. They're like how do you know this dude? He's a regular. I love that.
Speaker 2Well, I'll tell people. When I mess something up or I'm slow about something, I'm like sorry guys, it's my first day, you know.
Speaker 1Funny joke because at the airport.
Speaker 2you can say that every day and most people wouldn't do it, but now I'm like I'll say it and one of my regulars will walk up and they're like hey, karen.
Speaker 1No, no, no, no I'm sorry, I was playing with this guy earlier.
Speaker 2Definitely we work together.
Speaker 1I feel like my first day we work together.
Speaker 2He sets the bar. I have a lot of them, though, and I get a lot of like. I get a lot of Midland points, so it's a lot of oil field, and they all come in different schedules.
Speaker 1So even just like passing by. I'm't have time to say here's 20 bucks, see you later yeah did you want to get a water or something? Take one of these. It's cute. So I want to hear about all the crazy shenanigans that go down. I know drunky drunkers the first morning.
Speaker 2I ever opened rodeodeo Bar on a Sunday and I don't work morning shifts, I'm the night owl. I was like pulling down bar stools and I hear a commotion happening and I pop my head out around and I look at 33, and there's a guy getting full on arrested. Four officers have got him on the ground. He's being handcuffed. I'm literally still waking up. I don't even have chairs down yet. I'm like where have you been drinking? That you're, so I have my own bar in my bag.
Speaker 2But the thing about people getting arrested I see people get arrested all the time. All the time, all the time, but I never know what it's for, never know.
Speaker 1Like I had a guy get escorted out.
Speaker 2last night even, and there was four cops not handcuffed, but just followed, Just follow this guy and see if he did something. Yeah, apparently he was making disparaging remarks to a gay agent. You know how it usually is.
Speaker 1I love our police when it comes to gay agents. That's typically how people get in trouble at the airport Not only the alcohol and the bill, but typically the mouth right.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Yeah, typically when you get in trouble at the airport.
Speaker 2Well, and that's the wildest part about it, is like some people are just strange. Going back to the small town, thing Some people could be sober, not to offend anybody, but sometimes it's like, oh, that's just. No, I'm not used to this. People, don't do that.
Speaker 1How many people have you murdered?
Speaker 2It's a fine line between really just super strange, super weird and drunk, and then you mix those two and put them in a different environment.
Speaker 1Outside of the hotel. You never know what the hell is going on to judge you if you can have a drink or not how many?
Speaker 2people. Do you guys cut off every day?
Speaker 1oh please you know so many, right, I'm like I've never worked with someone where I'm like, no, you can't. You know what I find lately. So you know, we've had this four drink max rule, yeah, uh, you know that's vaguely implemented, um, but it's gonna get in trouble that's when it's in or when someone's like yeah, but um, I find minutes.
Speaker 2Yeah, I can't give you another one, sorry, exactly no more long islands, so it's corporate.
Speaker 1I find that the people I've been telling oh, you know, you're at your max. Sorry, you're cut off. I never said the words cut off, but I'm like hey, we have a four drink max.
Speaker 2I'm sorry, I just can't give you any more.
Speaker 1They're just like what. I'm just like there's other bars, but you're done here.
Speaker 2That's what I would say, but they always. You can't keep drinking here, you can walk always tips, so nice yeah usually.
Speaker 2It's usually people that get cut off, that are just like okay, you know what, maybe you're right, yeah, and sometimes they're like cool and then they but, or sometimes they throw something at you, it depends, yeah, well, and I had a lady one time I she came up and she was talking just like you and I are right now easy, straight, articulate, easy, straight, articulate. I gave her vodka on the rocks. Five minutes later she was looking through me and I'm like okay, take her a drink, fix her a glass of water, get her a bag of chips, a sandwich, even I don't remember exactly what happened, but it was already done.
Speaker 2She was already gone and the man next to her was like I'll pay for her tab. I'm like she doesn't have a tab. I took her drink. She doesn't have a tab. Yeah, she's, I just need her to take care of herself. She disappears. She walks into the family bathroom, which is maybe what 15 yards from when you're standing.
Speaker 2I see her go in there and then all of a sudden I just hear screaming like bloody murder and I'm like okay, well, I wasn't going to call the police, but now I kind of have to, because it all comes down to a safety issue.
Speaker 2Absolutely so. Then she comes out of the bathroom still screaming. So now everybody's watching Because it's a safety issue, absolutely so. Then she comes out of the bathroom still screaming. So now people, everybody's watching, you know, because it's a small, there's a fire hydrant there. She's angry now and she punches the fire hydrant. Plastic, it's like plexiglass. Yeah, great Breaks it, cuts herself.
Speaker 1Oh, so now she's raging. She's herself oh, so now she's raging, she's bloody wiped her hair out of her face, you know.
Speaker 2So she's got blood on her face and I'm like now you've left me no choice, ma'am, I have to call the police. So I do. They come get her, you, you know, because they once the, the belt can't be unrung you know, At that point it's too late, Even if she started acting completely normal at that point. No, ma'am, Like we've already done, did it the blood on your face.
Speaker 1You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. No, no, ma'am, I already wrote the ticket.
Speaker 2I gotta hand it out. So I mean stuff like that. That all the time is just it's not always so extreme, but you see some of the most extreme things At the airport, like the guy that tried to light his own rolled marijuana cigarette while he was slouched next to a gate 32 seat. Not even sitting in a seat, but next to it on the ground.
Speaker 2He pulls it out of his backpack and nobody will notice this Gets it out, flips it, fixes it, lights it up. I'm just like no, he is not. You have to pass my friend.
Speaker 1Bring it over here before the police come, because they're definitely coming.
Speaker 2They're on their way.
Speaker 1I've seen Chris light a cigarette right before we get through the exit door at baggage claim one day. He had worked a morning shift and he was just braving.
Speaker 2Yeah, I hadn't slept the night before. I was like watching playoffs.
Speaker 1And he lights it. And I said, Chris, what the fuck? And he just snapped out of it, he goes.
Speaker 2oh, and I just lit it and took a puff.
Speaker 1I just immediately snapped it out with my fingers.
Speaker 2I was like wake up, Chris, or we had a guy that handed us weed across the bar just opening it up in the middle of the shit, I was like I've got to go to the car room. I've had people leave weed.
Speaker 1Gummies.
Speaker 2I have found so many drugs, like actual pills drugs, illicit drugs, illegal drugs that was our first episode yeah you're wondering, guys, you can get those through security easily apparently.
Speaker 1I wouldn't know um moving right along. So you have, so you have. You have been down there for a hot minute. Um, I want to know, have you any celebrities? Anybody, oh man um man.
Speaker 2Okay, so Afro man I've seen him and I knew it was Afro man because he was in a light lavender silk suit with a hat and a cane.
Airport Celebrity Encounters
Speaker 2I was so busy that I wasn't able to go hug him or take a picture with him or anything. I was so busy that I wasn't able to go hug him or take a picture with him or anything. I also. I just I got a picture of him, but I, you know, I was busy. It's like a big flip photo while he's walking. Is this Ed Roman? I recently I've had our Ted Cruz. Is he going back to Cancun? You know what I was hoping you'd ask that he was flying home to texas, houston. Um, I've seen him a couple of times and he always has people obviously I also get the uh, the uh, what's the state senator from?
Speaker 1uh arkansas? A lot super nice guy. Uh french somebody, something interesting, super nice I've had um the governor of new mexico.
Speaker 2Okay, oh, he's big time bill something. Uh, he's not, he's good now.
Speaker 1Oh okay, oh yeah like within like within the past year and a half or something like that.
Speaker 2Yeah, sorry to hear that yeah, sorry to bring it down, but anyway, ted kris has been there a couple he sat at a table. Last time and it was the end of the night and I was getting ready to throw out all the leftover hot box food that I have, which is usually hot dogs and full court sandwiches. I offered them to him and all his people and they all ate hot dogs.
Speaker 2It was like the senator and his five team, five man team. And then I've also done the same for Kevin Gates and his crew.
Speaker 1Kevin.
Speaker 2Gates came through.
Speaker 1I don't know where he was flying. I don't know where the hell they were flying, but he had like ten people with him, his posse.
Speaker 2I didn't really get to see. I saw Kevin walk by, but his guys came over to me and I gave them all hot dogs.
Speaker 1He has two hot dogs, but he has two bums. As far as I know man, I gave him like six or eight hot dogs, so they were good.
Speaker 2It's a corn in the trash. You guys eat some trash dogs. That's what happens and people say yes every time. Yeah, every time.
Speaker 1No, no, no, Don't throw that away. I'm like I'll drive through downtown on my way home and pass it out, right?
Speaker 2Well, and hey, roller dogs, that's it Right now. Ew, no roller dogs, because we brought the glass top into the machine. We did have that.
Speaker 1I heard about that. I saw pictures of that. It's in the mail. It'll be here in two years.
Speaker 2It'll be here by spring break.
Speaker 1And if it's?
Speaker 2not, then just keep waiting.
Speaker 1Well, Edna just keeps cooking the hot dogs.
Speaker 2You know what I mean. I'm like we can't do this.
Speaker 1There's not a cover and there's glass.
Speaker 2inside the glass is like powder.
Speaker 1Well, it adds flavor, it adds a crunch.
Speaker 2You know, kind of sauteed, that's a nice crunch. This is how hard I get served in salsa.
Speaker 1You just cover it with mustard.
Speaker 2Excuse me, I have a bolt in my shrimp taco. I don't think that's from the ocean. I don't think that's from the ocean.
Speaker 1I said no sour cream. Yeah, what about the glass? Are you fine with the?
Speaker 2glass. That's fine. I just don't want the sour cream. So hot dogs. A lot of celebrities eat the hot dogs at Red Dead Redemption.
Speaker 1You wouldn't believe how many people love hot dogs. I don't know what that's about. I don't like hot dogs.
Speaker 2It's a hard no for a lot of people. But if you do it, a roller dog is the way to go, and one that somebody can personally vouch for.
Speaker 1I just put that on there an hour ago, so it's probably perfect. It's not just a display hot dog.
Speaker 2It's actual, for real food that you can eat right now.
Speaker 1I will probably have one for dinner, so please help yourself. It actually does look like a hot dog.
Speaker 2Yeah, you gotta eat relish. Yeah, but listen, sometimes we run out of mustard, and let me tell you how hard.
Speaker 1It is to sell a fucking hot dog without mustard.
Speaker 2Look it up. Look it up Google how many. What percentage of Americans like mustard on their hot dogs and it's like 68%.
Speaker 1No, it's pretty much everybody.
Speaker 2I like ketchup and mustard, but you know what I'll even eat mayonnaise on a hot dog.
Speaker 1I don't eat hot dogs. Mayonnaise is dirty.
Speaker 2I don't do mayonnaise and I don't do hot dogs.
Speaker 1You don't eat eggs.
Speaker 2What about ranch you like?
Speaker 1ranch.
Speaker 2No, I do not do ranch. Fuck, he really doesn't mess with mayonnaise.
Speaker 1What you don't cook food with olive oil.
Speaker 2Sometimes that's all mayonnaise is egg olive oil.
Speaker 1Yeah, I just, I don't know Mayonnaise. I'm out bro, I'm just, I'm not European. Two each their own, you like. No we don't judge.

Speaker 1Do a little video review and just share with everybody that's sitting here.
Speaker 2No, they're delicious. Nobody ever sends them back. They're good. Not as good as the hot dog bag, which is all beef.
Speaker 1As beef as a hot dog can be.
Speaker 2People don't have high expectations Truth.
Speaker 1They'll eat Funyuns and a fucking Snickers. That was my meal for the day. Like whatever You're at the airport, it is what it is.
Speaker 2Yeah, and it cost me $27.
Speaker 1I chased it down with a monster in an Asani, and now I had to take a lean out on my house.
Speaker 2Then I went to Radio Barn. Yeah, washed it down with a double margarita. I ordered a single, but I made it a double Woo.
Speaker 1It is what it is. Sit down and drink this, please. No, don't leave it on the bar.
Speaker 2Other famous people. I don't know who else has been there. Terry Bradshaw was there one time. I didn't meet him, Jeffrey met him and he was hysterically funny.
Speaker 1I was going to say a cantina. Oh, Johnny.
Speaker 2Knoxville. I was like, I know there's somebody. Have you ever asked Johnny Knoxville if anybody's ever told him that he looks like Johnny Knoxville? Because I have.
Speaker 1I bet that was like an older Johnny Knoxville Let me tell you he had sunglasses on first of all. Yeah.
Speaker 2And Jackass did their number on those guys. Of course they did. I'm not saying he looks bad bad, but you look a little rough there's been some, so I had to question if it was just maybe somebody that really I mean I was in the back googling tattoos y'all because I was like I don't know and I asked him and he was super cool. It was a chill moment but yeah, I had to make sure it was him. I've seen a lot of celebrity looking people.
Speaker 1Well, they're not trying to be recognized. Yeah, exactly, they don't make it easy on you, right?
Speaker 2And I don't ever want to be the one that draws attention to you. Exactly, you don't want, it's always the hat, sunglasses. Fangirl. I don't ever want to be the one that draws attention that you don't want. I'm like, oh my god, can I please get a picture? You are normal people getting through the airport at this point Hat, sunglasses, headphones and then maybe a hood on too.
Speaker 1That's like when I saw when I met Deion Sanders oh, he was incognito. This is back in the day, though I had Drew Pearson.
Speaker 2I had Drew Pearson at Radio 4 one night and I thought that was super cool because he was such a nice guy. Yeah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah. Well then, I'm talking to AT and he's like yeah, it's like he has a restaurant here. He chose you over his bar. Oh okay, I had no idea. I just thought it was super cool that he was there In Terminal D? Is that in Terminal D E?
Speaker 1Is it?
Speaker 2really it's way out there in E Shout out to Drew Pearson because he's a super cool dude.
Speaker 1Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 1He got that ring the year I was born, oh, 77 all right.
Speaker 2Shout out to 77 thanks 77 and 88 thanks.
Speaker 1Thanks drew and roger let's listen.
Speaker 2One thing I don't talk about at airport bars is football. I know y'all have it all over everything. I don't watch it like that, but I also. We also have a fantasy movie I'm a Cowboys fan and an international airport where people are traveling to their hometowns. Most people there are not Cowboys fans, and what do people that aren't Cowboys fans love to do? Drag Cowboys fans.
Speaker 1We're allowed to wear jerseys. Oh my God.
Speaker 2Even when the Cowboys would win a game, they'd be like it's like the Yankees or the Lakers.
Speaker 1I just don't want to wear my uniform today. That's the only reason why I wore this because I could be out of uniform today. Guys, I work on Sunday, so I don't have to watch the Cowboys and be miserable. I don't need you yelling at me while you tell me to chop chop on your chilled shot of tequila.
Speaker 2Salt and lime Biatch. What's up? I get it. What's?
Speaker 1up. I get it Again. It's cool and again I understand that I have eyes.
Speaker 2I'm like I have eyes.
Speaker 1Okay, I don't expect this to do anything, I just don't want to wear my uniform.
Speaker 2That's it going to root for him. Look around you. This is where you're at. I understand what we're doing, but I'm still going to root for him. I don't really put football on there. I put it on the outside TVs, but never the one behind the bar. I'm like. I worked in a sports bar for a long time, A long time before the airport. I'm okay if I never watch another game at work again.
Speaker 1I did put on the.
Speaker 2World Series. When the Rangers won the World Series and some lady got upset with me because I didn't put on her Monday Night Football or whatever it was with her team and I was like I don't care about the Buffalo Bills, Sorry. Shame on you, carrie. I know Awful, awful, I don't live in.
Speaker 1Niagara Falls.
Speaker 2Yeah, I don't care, and if I did I'd probably still care.
Speaker 1Blake and I work Sundays together, Sunday afternoons and nights together, and we're usually busy enough where we don't get to really watch anything. That's why I work Sundays. I don't have to watch the covers, Even if they're on right behind me. I don't have to watch the Cowboys, Even if they're on right behind me, I don't have to watch them Turn around and work and at least if I'm going to, you know I can drive my chair for some money at the end of the night.
Speaker 1Better ass kick, but I made some money so it's fine. It's like here lately we're so bad we can't even lose.
Speaker 2Yeah, now they're like no, no, why would we take and get a draft?
Airport Police Station Mishap

Help or watch from the suite, but just don't make any decisions, please. Okay, thank you, jerry. That's it. Kerry, you had mentioned something and I would like to call you out on this. You usually had back in the day parked by the police stations. No, Okay yeah, in the airport.
Speaker 2Yeah, so well, I didn't know that that was the police station. I always thought there was a very suspicious amount of cop cars parked. I didn't know yeah, in their office, yeah, yeah so me and some co-workers were enjoying an after work treat in the car. Rice and cream, please. I don't know how much we can say. You can say whatever you want. Okay, we're smoking out, because it was the week after Carrie. I know I know On airport property. I know, I know On airport property. I know that is federal property by the way.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2So it was the week after 420. And I only remember this because the week before we had literally smoked the car out on 420. And we had no care about us. Let's say we got very confident and very cocky in our ability to do this.
Speaker 1So the next week we're outside of the vehicle next to my parking spot and we say it's my parking spot because I try to park in the same spot every day. Right next to the police station. Great, I didn't know this yet.
Speaker 2Chris Parked in the sheriff's office. I didn't know until you told me later, but so they come by. We're literally in the middle of our sesh and we're telling some funny stories and luckily my female co-worker saw we were about to have another visitor into our story here.
Speaker 1And we put it out.
Speaker 2We were able to, you know, get away with it, but they were still very suspicious and so when we're telling, Chris about this. Later he's like, well, yeah, you idiot Spark, right by the police station and. I'm like the what and he's like the police station is at B27. And I'm like the police station is at B27. Oh, oh, okay. So yeah, we, literally we did that. But let me tell you what.
Speaker 1I haven't done on airport poverty since then. Yeah, yeah, it was the most.
Speaker 2yeah, because I mean anything that happens outside of the airport you can get in trouble for and lose your ability to go to work.
Speaker 1And that is always. A no-no. We like the money that we make. I like to make the money. If we had to wait 30 minutes to do ourselves. When we get home, that's fine.
Speaker 2That's right. That's totally worth the wait. We can still afford to enjoy ourselves. At least outside the gate. You know what I'm saying. Hit the gate. You know what I'm saying. Hit the gate and see you later.
Speaker 1What you do at your house is your own business or on your own highway.
Speaker 2But yeah, like I said, maybe not on their highway, but for the most part I have a good relationship with the police.
Speaker 1Shout out to our DFW airport police. They're amazing. Very quick with their responses.
Speaker 2Love those guys.
Speaker 1They've helped us a couple times. Yeah they've gotten us out of a few jams. They got old Marty out of there and then that guy. When we came in, maybe two months ago, when that guy wouldn't leave, we came into the shift. And he was already cut off and just wouldn't leave.
Speaker 2He was getting mouthy. And it was the same thing you were talking about when they kind of followed him.
Speaker 1I walked in on Sunday and there was a waitress who was like I need a manager. I was like, excuse me, I'm just the bar supervisor. All I can do is order liquor and make schedules. And she's like you need to go talk to this table. There's not a manager here right now. I was like okay, so I walk over out. I was like okay, awesome, so I walk over. Ladies had a couple of uh, water, spicy watermelon margaritas and she's like this chick didn't make the last one right and the food sucked and blah, blah. I was like, okay, the food's gone. Uh, she took your second drink off. Um, she's like well, the service was horrible.
Speaker 2Blah, blah, blah going off and she's like fuck this fuck that.
Speaker 1And I was like listen, lady. Now you're drawing attention to yourself and you're cursing at me and I'm trying to be as sweet as possible to you. I just met you, I said we'd make sure and take care of this I'm the little man here, you know. Yeah, I said we'd make sure and take care of this. I'm the little man here I'm writing a review. Hey, you write a couple reviews. She's bringing your check right now. Where's my credit card? I gave it to your server.
Speaker 2Here she is right here with the credit card.
Speaker 1And that's how I start my shift, before I even clock in and start taking care of drunk people at the bar, yeah that's the way the sense of entitlement some of these people feel is insane. You gotta take the good with the bad. We always talk about it.
Speaker 2Especially when you tell them you can't. You're like I just can't do anymore. I can't do anymore for you. You can literally walk.
Speaker 1You can try your luck there. I just can't serve you. How much time do you have? That's it. I just can't serve you. Right, they can. They can try to. I just can't, I can't do it.
Speaker 2Sorry, yeah, I'm not telling you Take your ass down the road.
Speaker 1You can and thank you so much for coming on the show. Guys, we will be back in two weeks on a Tuesday for y'all with another episode. Thanks for tuning in, guys. Love y'all.
