What do you do when a customer offers to give you a alcoholic beverage???
I had a case this weekend where the customer poured me a triple shot of vodka...not once but twice... how the hell do you get out of drinking it? after it has already been poured??  ------------- www.mr-steamer.com |

You lose professionalism, offer to have one another time off duty. I'm sorry Mr. customer but I have other appointments that I need to do and the alcohol will effect how I clean. All you need is the word out that your company drinks while working. But its your choice.

I'll also add...he felt bad...didn't have any more cash for a tip...so he was telling me to put 20 bucks on his CC...I refused told him that was ok...
So then he insisted that I should at least have a drink for the amazing job I did... how can you refuse the request of a dying man ------------- www.mr-steamer.com |

Easy for me. I stopped drinking in 1992 after it became a problem trying to figure out how early I should start drinking straight vodka every morning. I just admit that I had a drinking problem and have been sober for 15 years.
