Subject: RE: TAN 34 - We'll behave this time.Morning TAN. So last night (drinks with customer ) was basically a small disaster. Customer was hammered-drunk when I get to the pub at 530. I ate, he and his buddy kept putting down shots. Customer keeps hassling me to go to another bar, but the last time I got in a car with him, he ditched me at a bar in downtown Davenport, so I tell him to calm down and stay for a while. He angers bartenders with never ending stream of bs coming out of his mouth. At some point after that he just disappears. Leaves his friend (50 year old married guy ) who continues to drink hard. Eventually some friends of mine show up, he starts hitting on them (26 year old grad students ). By 10pm the bar owner has come up to me to talk to me about "my friend" which I assured him this guy wasn't, but that I would help get him out. Drunk guy, to get my attention every 15 seconds to find out where my customer went, keeps punching me in the ribs and grabbing my neck (not a popular move since I'm trying to rehab a neck injury ). Eventually the cab gets there, but dude can't just leave, he's got a tab. Apparently he's been telling the bartenders to just put other people's tab's on his all night. $207 tab. A-hole leaves no tip. I have to start acting drunk and staggering around talking about going to the next bar to get dude to "get in the cab with me." As soon as he's in and buckled up I bail out of the cab and leave him to his own devices. Almost enough to make me go back to not drinking at all again. That and I really want a tri-bike now. |
