It’s great to have a neighborhood bar where you can feel comfortable and kick back with the other locals and the bartenders.

But if you wear out your welcome, you’re gonna get the boot in a hurry.

In this story from Reddit, a female bartender explained why she felt like she had to embarrass a guy who was being a bit too pushy.

Check out what happened!

Embarrassing a bar regular.

“I’m (28F) a bartender at a fun cocktail bar that has a lot of regular customers who we see pretty often.

A lot of them are dear friends and tend to behave themselves when they come by.

Uh oh…

This one night as I was on a closing shift, one of these regulars had come in to pay a visit.

He’d clearly been drinking before he arrived and was being pretty obnoxious to start.

I made his regular drink and he began incessantly flirting with me.

Asking if he could kiss me even.

After another drink and me politely declining a handful of times, he asked me for a “surprise drink”.

I turned and reached for a bottle from our fridge and poured a 3-4 oz serving of what looked like red wine.

He sipped, complimented it, and asked what it was.

You’re cut off!

I responded “Oh! This is Verjus Rouge! (A non-alcoholic red wine style bottle, mostly used to add acidity) The surprise is that there’s no alcohol in it.”

A couple people at the bar around us laughed and he was clearly embarrassed.

I gave him one more drink and he left.

Safe to say he doesn’t flirt with me at work anymore.

Here’s what Reddit users had to say about this.
