last cried on saturday night afterwork.
it was stressful and I was the only waitress on and I got yelled at by customers because I enforced the restaurant policy brought-in pre-mixed drinks.
And there were heaps of customers.

What policy is this?

we only allow wine to be brought in, nothing else.
because that's what it says on our liquor license. There is a bloody great sign on the front door that says "BYO WINE ONLY" right at eye level, and I had to ask her to either remove herself from the premises or stop drinking her premixes. and she cracked it at me.

Interesting
I wondered why some restaurants had signs like that.

it's to do with liquor licensing.
cos thing is you can be inspected at any time, so if you have someone breaking the terms of your license, it can be revoked and for a lot of businesses that can be what shuts them down.
So yeah, I went by the rules, and I was trying to be as tactful as possible, I asked to speak to her privately for a minute - explained our licensing rules and then told her that she either had to stop drinking them or leave, and then got torn a new one for "being disrespectful and money-grabbing".
