I do indulge from time to time, but always carefully! Not only to maintain sobriety, but also because you never know who might be watching! Off-duty cops are among our regulars, and you never know when the ABC or health dept is on the prowl! They often go plain-clothed, at night or on weekends to places looking for violations. Didn't know CA had relaxed server laws! I'm sure that guy will get himself fired soon! I work at a neighborhood bar, where the regular patrons often enjoy buying the staff a drink.

I think there were 5 customers at the small restaurant bar, and while he introduced himself to us about 20 times in 5 minutes, it took close to a half hour for him to serve any drinks. Not that he was standing idle. Oh no, he was shaking and mixing and sloshing and spilling and rambling nonstop. He was jumping, rapping, you name it. If nothing else it was entertaining it's in own fashion. What i see more frequently are owners or bartenders who are off the clock drinking it up at their bar. It's great - not a problem at all - until they decide to "help out" the person tending bar and end up causing more apparent chaos than help. Or when they serve themselves, sliding to the other side of the bar over & over. As a customer, it appears unprofessional and sloppy.
