Following a long Friday bartending shift, I headed over to my local watering hole to unwind for the night. I always try to find a corner seat that I can tuck away in and be alone, at least for my first post-shift drink, but that can be a big ask on a weekend.
This time, the second I sat down, a heavily intoxicated younger girl engaged me in conversation. After three or four "yeps" and uh-huhs" from me, with little eye contact, she stumbled away toward the bathroom. When I noticed she was headed for the men's room, I barked out, "Wrong door!" directed at the bartender walking toward her as much as it was to the drunk girl.
The bartender quickly noticed what was going on and nudged her the other way. "The women's bathroom is that one," pointing at the door behind him.
When Drunk Customers Ignore the Obvious
A detail that he left out, which seemed obvious to any mildly sober person with two eyes, was that the door directly behind him was a small broom closet, and the bigger door with the word WOMEN in huge metallic letters and a picture of a woman on it was the bathroom.
Drunk kill walked past him, swung open the door to the broom closet, and collapsed on her knees and started puking on the floor.
