The other day I was in North beach at a fun bar known for its fancy cocktails. The place was pretty packed, so waits were pretty long. To express his frustration, this tool began reaching into the fruit bowl and pawing the fruit. He grabbed lemons and limes, sniffed them, felt them up, then passed them back to his friends so they could do the same.
The problem is, these are the fruits your twists and other garnishes come from. Some of these fruits were already partially zested or whatever, meaning the oils on this guy’s grubby fingers were freely intermingling with the oils in the orange rind adorning my whatever I had.
The bartenders were busy as hell, so they didn’t notice. I was mortified, but the guy was bigger than me and already all aggro, so I didn’t do anything about it. Just made sure to order something without fruit. And took a picture.
Anyway. Drinkers, beware. Bars, maybe keep the fruit behind the bar.
coomstock

Speaking of North Beach bars, Inside Scoop reports that Crow Bar will reopen!

(Yes, that’s the right link; it’s in the 2nd paragraph)
after reading that first sentence, you and everyone in that place deserve what’s cummin to you. you don’t sleep with a hooker and complain about the rash later.
What a stupid asshole.
Passive Aggressive SF at its best…why address the problem directly when you can sneak a photo and post it to your blog days later?
That’s not “Passive Aggressive” — that’s self-preservation.
no, it’s extremely passive aggressive and I doubt that self-preservation was a concern in this scenario. San Franciscans who drink fancy cocktails aren’t likely to engage you in a bar fight, especially in a situation where the bar staff would have backed you up. In fact, most people in this City cower if you call them out on anything publicly. Direct communication counts for a lot….just sayin’.
Vas you dere, Cholly?
“Most people in this City cower if you call them out on anything publicly”?. Are you a Mission resident, sir?
This has become a nation of wimps.
Alcohol kills germs.
You have to much time bro
Mortified means embarrassed. I think you probably meant outraged, or scandalized, or something else.
No, I was mortified. That I was at the same establishment as that tool, and thus apparently have at least some overlapping tastes or interests.
Great save. Props.
Not a save. Go fuck yourself.
Horrified is probably what you meant.
No.
i’m still in love with AttF’s comments
i still don’t understand why you couldn’t have told the bartenders.
