Welcome to this episode of Kennedy Saves the World. Are you ready for a good bar controversy? I love things like this. I love when people get all bent out of shape because a bar or restaurant decides that they're either going to charge families with unruly kids more money and add on an automatic gratuity or in the case of a bar called Alibi in Altrinham, England, they're not letting solo drinkers in after 9pm and people were so bent out of shape, they were so mad. They're like, if I want to drink by myself, you have to indulge my lonely alcoholism. By gum, I'm going to file a lawsuit. Any business should have every right to do whatever they want in terms of keeping people in or out who cause a problem for their other patrons because businesses have a right to make money. I know it's not something we're supposed to say in Zoran Momdani's world, but it's the truth. So the problem was you had people going in by themselves, not with other people. They're not playing darts, they're not, they're not eating food, they're just getting sloshed. And so these hosed booze bags are going in and they start harassing women cuz they're sitting there throwing them back one after the other. I have another Cheetos and soda. It's like they no one needs to be offended by that level of charm. So good for them. And more places should do that. I was also in favor in California when they banned smoking in bars decades ago. I always thought that there should be bars where if you want to go in and smoke, you can smoke. And other places, if you want to go have a smoke free atmosphere, you can do that. I cannot stand these one size fits all laws that really screw around with businesses ability to boost their bottom line. And that's what this place is trying to do. So if you are the person who's offended that one place out of the dozens of places possibly in that town where you can go and get a drink and by the way, if, if you're just knocking them back by yourself, go sit and drink in your own house. You know that's not illegal. If you want to be by yourself and getting bibed, then go to the liquor store, buy a bottle, and sit on your soaked couch. But you do not have. You are not entitled to project the fragrant funk of your poorly showered corpus onto other people because you want to sit and leer at women while you're hammered. You are not entitled to that. And, you know, maybe more places should do that. I just think it's so funny, the uproar that it created with people. So you have to ask yourself, why am I offended? Well, if you're offended because you want to go somewhere and drink alone, well, that might be a little bit of an issue. Maybe this is a wake up call for a lot of people when they go out drinking, they want it to be social and fun and they want to go with their girlfriends and their guy friends and, you know, go shoot pool and eat loaded potato skins and do all the dumb stuff that you do when you're getting sloshed on a Friday night and do it in a safe environment without the worry that some guy you don't know is gonna follow you out of the bar. Don't go anywhere. More Kennedy Saves the World right after this.
