Apparently many San Franciscans enjoy getting smashed out of their minds at brunch.
: “Dear all mimosa lovers, Please drink responsibly and know your limits. A $50 cleaning fees will automatically include in your tap when you throw up in our public areas. Thank you so much for understanding.”
I usually complain about the rise of prices. But $50 to vomit on a table and force another human being to clean your nasty ass biohazard is so stupidly low.
Yeah, and I’m sure the person forced to clean it won’t get any extra pay from that fine. Essential, yet treated like fucking garbage.
Pretty sure they’ll be happy enough with less vomit
Wasn’t there an article recently about how fines are fees?
Are we not going to talk about the atrocious grammar on that sign?
“tap”? Tab, surely.
I didn’t even notice that!
No, they meant “spaces” (programmer joke).
Is that what’s going on? I assumed they were puking in toilets.
Yet dealing with patrons who lose their brunch is a reality for Bay Area restaurants offering the popular perk of bottomless mimosas.
There’s a reason that there aren’t bars with “all-you-can-drink” business models.
Isn’t that what weddings are for?
It’s part of the reason they are expensive.
For my wedding we just loaded up Costco, got some kegs, and paid a friend of a friend to bartend. Ended up being a fraction of the price than having a bartender bring in all their stuff.
That’s the way to go.
Isn’t that because legally bars are supposed to prevent you from getting to that point (whether that actually happens is another story)?
That could be, but I suspect it would also be much less profitable and make it harder to get customers in the establishment in the first place.
I’m old. I remember drinking at incredibly cheap prices in dive bars (and I mean incredibly cheap for back then). Customers would flock to these places because they were cheap, and they’d make a tonne of money due to the sheer volume of alcohol sold. It doesn’t happen anymore because we are more responsible as a society in some ways (read: the wowsers banned it).
“dealing with patrons who lose their brunch is a reality for Bay Area restaurants offering the popular perk of bottomless mimosas.” 🤣
“Why did this happen to us??”
Does California not have laws that take away liquor licenses for over serving?
Usually liquor licenses only get taken away due to constant problems with drunk driving, underage drinking, or rape. While vomiting indicates over serving, it is hard for bartenders to know if a patron is going to vomit or not and the typical action is to cut off alcohol to a patron that vomited.
However, I would agree that all you can drink is a recipe for over serving people.
Mimosas make me sick way before they make me drunk. One is fine. But all that sugary orange juice mixed with carbonated cheap white wine really doesn’t sit well after 3 or 4. And I’m not even close to drunk at that point.
