i was working valet at buffalo general hospital over the summer. a guy rolls up in a 6-series bimmer(the newer 2 door ones). He was holding a beer in his hand. takes a last sip, puts it in the cup holder. He then gets out, looks at me and tells me, “feel free to have a beer, theres plenty left” and walks inside.
I was a little shocked, and i got a good laugh, but that guy needed help
i was just a little excited to take that 6-series down to the lot

It’s easier to say fuck it not my problem, the world needs more people who will stand up for what is right and take the proper action when the time comes. The world does have alot of people like this but they are in the background and rarely get recognition for their deeds. What you did was a small act but well worth it in that it could have averted some major incident.

:tup: :word:. Nobody takes responsability for their own actions anymore…it is sickening. You did the right thing man. I would have done the same thing in your shoes. I doubt you will get fired for not letting an obvious stumbling drunk have their car, if anything they should thank you for avoiding a possible lawsuit, and quite possably saving someone’s life.

Bartenders ARE Liable for drunks leaving their bar and driving. Its hard to prove and usually doesnt happen, but thats the way the law is. Kind of fucked up actually since the customer can leave the bar sober-ish, and drink a fifth in their car and then drive… and then blame the bartender.
Bartenders are also liable for underage drinking, even if ID’s are checked at the door.
In other words, be careful if you’re a bartender.
