Bartender Fired for Calling Cops on Customer...

Well the ladies drove to Walmart drunk. Purchased more alcohol and were driving home. I think the store would be well within their rights to refuse the sale as a bar would be to refuse service. But it boils down to letting an intoxicated person leave your business and get into a vehicle. Who is responsible here?? It's a tough question.

You're reminding me about the guy at ⁷⁄₁₁ who lied to the cops about selling that big ole' bottle of wine to the lady that hit my car. Asshole.

I guess, whether you're a bar employee or not, if you see somebody CLEARLY inebriated getting in to a car, it's morally correct to call the cops. I didn't have too much time to process it before the drunk lady hit my car, but I hope I would have called the cops on her even if she hadn't hit my car. She was definitely a danger to the public in that moment.

However, I see a little bit of a slippery slope. As I said earlier, I don't like the idea of restaurants/bartenders counting drinks and making their own judgments about when to call the cops. Hell, every bar in town probably ought to have a cop outside the door around 2am on a weekend.
