I was thinking a new job would fix the situation, but there are rude people everywhere. Okay, here's my situation.
I work at a country club, as a waitress/bartender, etc. There was a big golf tournament this weekend (still is, tomarrow is the last day). Today was the "big day" in which we served them breakfast, lunch and dinner, and 2 free drinks included in the tourney. We're also very short staffed right now, so I was there from 9 in the morning until 11 at night. About 9:15, 3 of us were still working, and there were 2 tables with people. All had been drinking all day long, and the three of us agreed that no one needed any more to drink. We gave them last call, and a couple of guys came up for another drink. A little while later, one table started asking for more drinks and we told them no. This one guy, Jack, was having a big problem with this. Kept making stupid little comments about not being able to get a drink in your own country club. Keep in mind, he's a jerk and we all know it. This just escalated until he got up and started to leave (2 hours after we gave them last call). He stopped where we were sitting and started telling us how stupid this was. It wasn't even late and he couldn't get a drink in his OWN country club, on a tournament weekend no less. I just told him sorry and pointed him to the sign on the door that reads: "IT'S THE LAW, If you appear intoxicated we cannot serve you and we must remove your drink". He just yelled that it was bullsh*t and tore the sign off the door and told us that he was going to write a letter to the board (does this sound like tattling to anyone? lol - the "head-hauncho" around here used to be a cop, so he's on my side) I know I was in the right here, I honestly felt we should have cut them off long before we did, They were drunk! If any of them were to leave that clubhouse and get into an accident, I would be in alot of trouble. But this guy is just an a**hole! I can't stand him and this whole thing has me so mad. I know I have to face him tomarrow and pretty much every day after, there's no way to avoid him, he's always here. I just don't want to have anything to do with him. But his snide little comments are always there, and I don't have the gumption to tell him off. No one else had a problem with it, one usually-really-nice guy walked past the bar with a scowl on his face and when I gave him a questioning look, he started laughing. Brightened the situation a bit.
Okay, I'm done venting. It's been a long day!
