Based on my experience, a person that qualifies for being cut off would not even be able to read the card or understand the message on it even if you tell them. Lol
If more bar owners cared more about health and safety than putting more money into their pockets, this would be common and the world would be a better place.
Possibly. You’d kick them out at 2 am or whenever you close though. But the card should say like “feel free to order a soda and sober up until we close.”
The idea of driving somewhere to drink is something I can’t get my head around at all. Always had a designated driver, taxi, public transport etc to get home.
No, but I can hardly wait for the President’s staffers to interrupt the press reporters with “Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.” as they shuttle the reporters from the room, they way Biden’s staff did to the reporters.
Since the press didn’t seem to complain about it under Biden, it should be OK
Here's a crazy thought. Monitor the Bluesky events for posts and dynamically add to block-lists if they exceed the rate-limit. Then when the rate-limit is lifted, removed them again.
This cards going to fuck you if anyone you cutoff gets a DUI. Telling a person you just cutoff they must leave is asking for your server license to be taken and for you to be sued.
Yes. The law in most jurisdictions says you can't continue to serve a drunk person, not that a drunk person can't remain on the premises. Ideally they would wait an hour and have something to eat as well.
It’s not about ensuring the person is sober when they leave. It’s about having proof you provided a safe place for them until they found a safe route home.
It’s about protecting yourself from liability not protecting the drunk person.
Nothing like putting in writing the fact that you over served your customer then encouraged him to get on the road. Sorry, terminal PI Lawyer thoughts. Dram Shop liability laws are real, maybe not in the state where this bar is, but damn the liability this creates.
What reading level are you? If I was in the condition to need cut off, i'd be reading it from the side of my eye as it lays on the counter next to my glass, then flip it and settle the tab. And I am low functioning socially, I couldn't making it a problem. Lol, lmao even
I'm not even trying to, handing the card as visibly as possible is the opposite of the point of the card. They might as well have a big guy lift you up by the arm and say "alright, you've had about enough, time to leave".
This implies they're trying to do this, and not do that.
If I was in such a state it would be deserved and someone handed me that, I would start bellowing about how “cutoff” isn’t a verb and there should be a space in there.
Bad design. Terrible control of typographic settings (intra-letter spacing, contrast, and hierarchy—adjust H&J’s, tracking, and leading…grade 2 Canadian education). Lack of education and execution in a (horrible) snapshot. The usa: in design, photo, illiterate communication, fascism, and racism.
The idea here is to keep drinking until you are told to stop - not one drink sooner. Then take these pieces of paper home and toss them in a small drawer. When the drawer is completely full, you then call AA - not one slip of paper sooner. Cheers! 🍻
Handing a drunk a card that tells them they had too much and tells them to stop drinking is malpractice. The government should hand them a card that suspends their liquor license.
Are y'all actually embarrassed to be cutoff at the bar? Cause that's when I'm ordering a hot pocket and a glass of water. Probably gonna play some shitty nostalgic music on the jukebox.

Anyway... back to work!

Dumbest bartender move in history.
The card should say, “feel free to hangout and enjoy as many waters as you desire”
Any bartender handing this card out as is will be sued for the resulting DUI.

And people would see a guy reading a white card at the bar
This implies they're trying to do this, and not do that.
If this bar is known for the cards your gonna naturally notice when they are handed out more
You could just be having a conversation and suddenly notice the blonde at the back just got a card and laugh about it with ur mates
Terrible punchline.
You may now use public transit again.
A logical progression from the "That's enough internet for today" meme.
Posters might though
Makes me wonder if the recipient can focus enough to read it. 🍸
