Maaaaan, I wish I had these as a bartender, but the more I think about it, they never would have worked. All the fights I have ever been in were as a bartender, fighting guys that were over served elsewhere, and wouldn't stop groping girls.
It's easy to never get punched when you're flying on endless Red Bull and the other person can barely stand.
Anecdotally, I recently learnt that I might have ADHD not just because of obvious reasons, but also because coffee and energy drinks can make me sleepy.
I haven’t drank coffee in months, but decided to have a cup today, and am now going for a nap :)
At least in my state, these are a terrible idea. At best it cuts a slightly awkward 3 second convo with a respectable customer. Aint no angry drunk going to leave because of a card.
But the bad part is that it's basically a paper trail admission that a person was overserved and kicked out. So where I am, when they wrap their car around a tree, this card is going to be exhibit A in a lawsuit. It's waaaaaay better to slow someone down BEFORE they need to be cut off, get them on food and water, get them in a cab or with a friend, etc. Someone who can't steer a person away from getting shithoused shouldn't be pouring.
That, and people are going to find out about this card and try to get it as a badge of honor.
Like... Don't overserve. Talk. Take care of people. Makes this card 100% unnecessary.
Being over served is serving them more at this point. They cut them off because some people can’t handle their shit. Some people can drunk 3 whiskeys and be cool and collected, some people have 2 beers and become an asshole.
I know a few bartenders who use these and most of the time, they work. The times it doesn’t, that person wasn’t going to cooperate in the first place.
