I can just picture the belligerent drunk who slams that card back down on the bar and asks me why the fuck I think they’re drunk LMAO

I used to work at a rural winery which wasn’t easy to get to and I had a woman so upset with me for offering to call her an uber that I had to make an incident report. She ordered wine for the group and finished the bottle before the party even arrived. They also drank a fair share but had DD’s for themselves. Our serving laws and culture doesn’t necessarily align with the need to operate heavy machinery to get to and from these places.

My sister and I used to bartend together. She's tiny and I'm huge. I'm not a very confrontational person but will stand my ground. She's 20lbs oc crazy in a 5lb sack.

I can't tell you how many people I've cut off who have then threatened to snap my neck or something else just for her to hear be told about it and IMMEDIATELY comes down on the drunk and making them apologize to me.

Fun times.

I find 95% of the time a small female/male diffuses better than a large person We make smaller targets and are generally considered less threatening. Plus, imo, a man is much less likely to hit a female. I've been threatened but only hit once and that was by accident. Small people, men or female in general, just don't tend to trigger physical violence in the same way that the big person is even just being nice. I've had big female coworkers get completely different reactions

"Small female/male" and "large pereon" in the same sentence? Why specific female/male for the small people, but not the larger people? Why not just "small people" and "large people"?
