Good night. Never saw the fire marshal. Good turnover. Highlight was the end of the night. Female patron has a canniption over $4.00 worth of dirty bananas. She was reimbursed her $4.00 and still demanded more. Random older women said we were a**holes all night. She demanded that we give our names, because she has known Peach for 26 years. She also let her hippie friend smoke in the bar. Oh, and she is going to report us to Phil. Enough said.

Some nights at The Sandbar are reeeally exciting. No wonder they didn't sign their name to it.

Occasionally when I decide to make an appearance at The Sandbar, Dave sends me off to run errands- getting more five dollar bills from another business because our change is low; buying more lemons or limes or some other urgently needed ingredient, or fetching food for the hungry bartenders.
The folks in line aren't always understanding of this as evidenced by this nearly eight-year-old entry in our door journal.
10:15
A lady came in and told me that the woman who butted in line shouldn't be let in. I told her that the girl who came in had been in here before and I told her I would let her back in when she came back. The lady asked me if she could tell Peach about this. I said "sure, and you can also tell her that the girl who 'butted in line' is the manager's wife." The woman gave me a really angry look and left with a friend.

Dear Diary,
Started slow, then got busy and then Dave saved us. Turned a girl away, clearly a fake ID. She said she had no second form but she had a lot of credit cards in her wallet. She left peacefully. Other than that it was a quality evening. Until next time, stay safe. I love you.

Saturday night. Mom's Weekend.
We had a line at 7:30 p.m., which is almost unheard of. The line was full of college-age girls and their mothers. I must have been yelled at by 150 moms. But I've been yelled at by my own mom, so it didn't faze me.
The best part were the two girls and their moms who waited in line for a full hour. When it was finally their turn to come in, they didn't want to pay the $2 cover charge and left.

Remember, we aren't making you wait outside because we want to, it's because we have to. Even if it doesn't "look busy" inside, there are still capacity laws we have to follow, or we risk getting a ticket. And it's not cheap. So please, go easy on the door guys! It's not their fault.

Turned away a girl who did not have a second form. I asked her what year she graduated high school. She told me 1984. she was supposedly born in 1981. She took her (fake) ID and left.
