What to Expect When You’re Expecting<\/em>?<\/p>\nOr, is she just obviously pregnant based on the old fashioned eye test? That common sense that the government assumes you don’t have?<\/p>\n
In that case, maybe don’t serve her. I’m pro choice, but isn’t this valuing the delicate sensibilities of the mother over the health of the unborn child? Who cares if some slob with nothing to do but hang out in bars while pregnant is offended you denied her a chardonnay? I’m more concerned about the baby. I don’t think there should be a law against doing jiu jitsu while pregnant, that’s the judgement of the woman. But if some chick who is crowning is showing up at your boxing gym to practice her body shot defense, she should be turned away if not arrested.<\/p>\n
Even though it’s not your personal responsibility, there are times when you should make a decision to not serve someone.<\/p>\n
That person, if you only get a few times to play that card in your life, would be Lamar Odom.<\/p>\n
If you work at IHOP and some diabetes ridden four hundred pound dude who smells of antifreeze comes in like clockwork every morning and orders the Red Velvet pancakes, his arm so fat he can barely lift the fork to his mouth as he wheezes whipped cream out of his mouth, don’t worry about it.<\/p>\n
That dude has made a conscious decision to slowly deteriorate his own health, and you shouldn’t feel guilty about it.<\/p>\n
One time I saw a documentary on Nat Geo about morbidly obese people. This one guy weighed 700 pounds and lived on his bed in a diaper. He knew he had this uncontrollable eating problem, so he would make all of his caregivers and visitors sign a form saying they would not provide him with any junk food, no matter how much he pleaded or tried to manipulate them into doing so. About midway through the episode he somehow got his flabby mitts on a kabob and chips.<\/p>\n
That is the guy you shouldn’t serve. That is Lamar Odom, whose internal organs resemble cream of wheat.<\/p>\n
If you work at a bar you’re going to get the guy who comes in every day and most certainly has a tremendous problem with alcohol and acts eratic and sad and is slowly ruining his life, and that’s fine.<\/p>\n
Then there’s the guy who’s acutely trying to kill himself, George Best rocking the dialysis machine.<\/p>\n
Lamar Odom has literally already died from drugs and booze and come back to life. I’m not a religious man, but I wouldn’t want to meddle in that.<\/p>\n
Imagine getting a text from Lamar Odom right now. Hey, do you want to go out and grab a few drinks?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\nThe only suitable response would be absolutely not. Clearly all of his buddies who joined him at the club are prodigious losers, and they share the most blame.<\/p>\n
But you’ve got to take into account all of the lost souls in their retarded outfits in Bootsy Bellows partying with Odom, the owners and managers of the place, and the hot 22 year old server who makes six hundred dollars a night and still complains fervently about her job and will not offer to split the dinner check.<\/p>\n
Nobody’s asking you all to become moral arbiters here, but the dude already died once and is still partying hard, so let’s just assume, despite how much money he’s spending, that from now on he is obviously<\/em> intoxicated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After Lamar Odom was seen collapsing while out for a night of drinking at Bootsy Bellows nightclub on the Sunset Strip I had a novel idea: maybe if you own or manage a bar, don’t give Lamar Odom any alcohol.
