30. "that's the standard practice here" In response to In response to 27
I've never taken a drink without someone conceding it to me first, and the place I work in now closes at 1AM at the latest so I don't have any legal right to force people to hurry up (I just won't serve them anymore), but when I was open until 2 there was definitely a really strong push to get drinks out of people's hands by 2:05. I'm not sure if this is actually the law but that's what I was told; at any rate, we certainly couldn't allow anyone drinking on the patio to stay on the patio where they could be seen by police passing by.
