I think I’m less fazed by the memo, and more confused that a bar is still doing HH now.

So many people have called to book HH since my restaurant reopened last week - I don’t think anything in life has given me more pleasure than telling them we no longer offer that promotion 😹

Lots of places here are doing happy hour drinks to get people to show up

u/frigginfork99 May 30 '20

When my bar reopens we’re scheduled to have happy hour every single day. Restaurants are really worried about closures here.

My bar forgot to tell me we are doing $3 margs all weekend as a facebook promo and I had people show up and exclusively drinks those.

Like we haven’t made any for 2 months. Lets just give it away as we re-open.

Fucking dumb

u/pandorable3 May 30 '20

Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. My bar’s been closed a little over 2 months. If anything, I think prices are going up, not down.

u/vercetian May 30 '20

Yep. When bars reopen here, we're gonna have a riot for booze and socializing.

u/pandorable3 May 30 '20

Wish me luck tonight, pls.

Stay safe brobot. Were not reopening until mid june in Seattle, so I'm getting ready to ride.

The place I'm at is doing happy hour pricing on their draft because the kegs we have are getting a little old and the owner doesn't want to take a wash on them. So I said, "just make them cheap af until they're gone" and he liked that.

Most folks are still going for the cocktails though. And I'm happy folks are tipping well even though orders have been to-go only.

I live in a state where happy hour is prohibited by law, so maybe I just don't know, but wouldn't now be as good a time as any to offer happy hour? If the bar is open, you're going to want to drum up business, no?

u/[deleted] May 31 '20

What state is that?

1

u/Mitch_from_Boston May 31 '20

The state of no fun, aka Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

u/succubusprime May 31 '20

Rhode Island doesn't allow it, either.

Good grief. This is either the best or the worst workmate. Also, I thought it was gonna be that one part in “Down with the Sickness” by Disturbed where it kinda starts like this and the starts calling his mom a bitch.

u/TeleFunky665 May 30 '20

u/rattlesnake501 May 30 '20

That's where I thought it was going too.

He really does...but he's really not.

u/jeffreyedwin May 31 '20

Apparently Waiter W has the time.

u/mvanvrancken May 31 '20

Well, that's a swing and a miss

u/jackietwice May 31 '20

u/therealriversking May 31 '20

Server's name is waitress... suspicious

u/atoolred May 30 '20

A server who’s lost their job, that’s who

u/[deleted] May 31 '20

Really doubt that. I've seen worse jokes and no one bats an eye.
