heh - eventful night at work last night...
I work at a neighbourhood pub (that's more like a neighbourhood club at night) in Whalley (the worst part of Surrey, BC, Canada) & we had an interesting night last night.
First off, and least importantly, I was lookin' pimpin' last night w/ some new black clothes head to toe, a fresh haircut, and hair gel that glowed bright purple under the black lights. :cool::p The collar on my new short sleeved black shirt was sort of "asian" style... and one of our bartenders said I looked like a priest, so he stuck a piece of masking tape on it in the center. :p (I had to take it off, as discussing religion/politics etc is against pub policy... drunken's could get offended etc) Later on some drunk guy is like "forgive me father, for I have sinned..." to which I told him. "RIGHT ON!!! :thumbup::thumbup:" :D Oh, and the ladies liked the hair. :p So did the little kids that were in the bistro earlier on. (under 19yo allowed until 7pm in our bistro)
Second, we had a great band in... Baby Jane.. some large white woman with an incredible voice & her band. She was great, belting out everything from Shania Twain to Rage Against The Machine! Soooo :cool: to get a band that can play a good mix AND play it well!
Third, the excitement... we have a visual silent alarm that gets triggered by the girls that work in our liquor store next door whenever something goes wrong. It's the first time I've seen it go off in the 8 months I've been there. One security guy bolted over right away, I grabbed the other two and ran over with them (across the parking lot). Security guys caught some punkass loser trash motherfucker in the doorway trying to steal a 40oz'er of smirnoff vodka. Idiot. The doors are such that they were able to get one bouncer inside with him, then block both doors - so he's pinned in a 4'x4' cage with him. Got the bottle, dealt with him - eventually let him go... but his trouble wasn't over yet. Two big biker customers of ours, who were watching out one of the windows from their table in the pub, went up to the guy and told him they've been coming here for 15 years and they're going to teach him a little respect about not fucking with the pub/store they frequent/like... (pub's been there ~30years, one of our managers parents MET there) so they took him around back and beat the living shit out of him... fucked him up real good. Then our manager on shift for the night went over to give him his jacket back... the guy was bawling his eyes out! "I'm sorry... I didn't mean any disrespect, brother.." to which Jay (bar manager) replied with "1, you're not my brother. 2, you stole from my bar, that is disrespectful... you get the fuck outta here now and don't you EVER fuckin' come back here again!"
aaah, it was fucking GREAT!
edit: forgot to mention... one of our bouncers is 6'10" 260lbs... he's an actor, you may have seen him in the new addams family tv series a couple years ago as lurch, or in the 13th warrior or 13 ghosts or master & commander... etc etc... the little bastard thief was hella scared of him. lol
oh, and earlier on (as has happened before) some chick called me the best empties guy there is... and some regular customer guy called me the best damn bus boy type guy ever.. lol :p (I'm a porter there (for now), clear tables, stock the cooler, tap kegs, bring in beer orders, serve food, stock the bar, clean the bar etc etc... pays very well for 3 nights a week, and i can still take my courses.)
