    The weirdest thing here is them calling the Costco cashier a “line cook”

    Funny

    Years sober alcoholic here realizing despite being an often loud obnoxious sloppy drunk getting in several fights (from running my mouth not attacking people), I never was cut off. (Except once by a buddy at his house party, which feels like the opposite of how this distribution should land.)

    Is it that I just instinctively found dives where my shenanigans were tolerated, or does it take some kind of lower bat like attacking or sexually harassing people?

    Just curious about others’ experience. Thanks to any willing to share getting cut off stories.

      I think a money-making establishment will always have a background incentive to make money, which will inevitably interfere with helping a person or even following the law, whereas your friend has mainly just the relational incentives to help you not hurt yourself or put yourself in a bad place

        That brings back a memory where I was early 20’s, and a coach who took a group of us out drinking taught me specifically that.

        Seeing coach starting to square up with some other asshole, “Hey coach security’s watching us. Maybe we should just go.” He laughs “Do you have any idea how much we’ve spent here? If anything, they’re thinking of kicking him out.”

        He was right… technically with that specific statement. In every important way, he was very wrong. He was someone I respected immensely though, and I definitely absorbed the lesson at the time

        Except that financial incentive makes you 100% responsible if that patron you let keep drinking leaves and kills someone on the way home.

        Bars and restaurants have an obligation to know when to cut people off. They have a legal responsibility, and if they fail that could lose their license forever.

          Maybe it’s rur… rurality?

          While I did sometimes get way too drunk in city bars too, usually that would have been with a group and had far less exciting adventures.

          Also, it occurred to me that there’s a pretty large slice of those times where I was blackout, so maybe I was cut off many more times than I remember.

          😮‍💨 I kinda regret commenting about it. Starting to remember a lot of embarrassing shit

            But congrats on the getting sober now. That is a monumental achievement that most people never have to struggle with and you should be very proud indeed of it. Very well done indeed.

    My son pretty much eats his hot dogs this way. He eats a lot of foods this way. When he eats half a donut, it’s usually the top half.

    For all of my fellow Chicagoans who, like me, are seeing this with no warning or preparation, I can share support resources, and I’m here if you just need to talk about it.

    Edit: for those in need of assistance.

      One Christmas I asked for the neon green relish for Christmas. My cool bil (who ran a hot dog stand) sent me a big assjar. Hell yeah.

      It’s fine, that’s just blood from their nose because of the head rush from slurping the entire garden up with that courageous bite. Do not correct me, this belief is going to get me through the rest of the day

        I doubt it. Vienna beef is just The Dog in a Chicago Dog for the most part.

      Hey, I’m here for you, too. We’re all here for you.

      Well, I’m here for you as long as you don’t put a drop of fucking ketchup on that dog.

      This is a joke. That card is something bartenders give people who are drunk in some bars. Someone edited one to say Costco and photoshopped it onto a picture from a food court

        As someone who has worked in bars, that’s one sure fire way to piss off someone in a drunk state. You need to bring it with conviction and without making things confrontational.

        Hiding behind a formality is probably the worst idea.

          Well yeah, I didn’t say it’s a good idea. And as of covid days, practically every interaction type you can think up will piss someone off to an irrational, performative and base instinct level that makes some wonder if humanity had a good run but it’s all downhill from here.
