What do you think is the best way to deal with drunk customers in a bar?
I really enjoy my career as a bartender. However, drunk customers are the worst part of my job. When drunk customers get excited or agitated, they routinely end up damaging furniture and breaking glasses. I've had a customer break an $800 bottle of Scotch whisky before. Sometimes, things escalate into fights with other patrons.
Some of this damage even gets taken out of my paycheck by my manager, b/c I'm responsible for escorting these drunks out of the bar. Evidently, the drunks got to damage the bar before I had the chance to move them out!
This aspect of my job has made me seriously consider switching careers to take on a 9-5. What's the best way of dealing with this?

- There is nothing you can do
- Your manager, just want you pay for the damage, so he dont have to.
- Change another bar?
- 1 kick KO your customer before they can damage anything...😆

Perhaps you could store the more expensive bottle out of reach / sight? There looks to be F&B insurance that covers Liquor Liability (https://www.sompo.com.sg/commercial-insurance-p...) can consider asking your manager to claim from the insurance instead of you
