So this happened last year. I was working as a bartender in this kinda fancy bar in LA where a lot of people come to show off. You get influencers, actors, TikTok people… that kind of crowd. One Friday night, this guy comes in with a girl. He looked like some Hollywood dude. Tall, kinda flashy, wearing expensive shit, beard perfectly trimmed, just screaming “I think I’m important.” The girl he was with was one of those types that look like they live on Instagram. She didn’t say much. He, on the other hand, was being loud and acting like he owned the place. Demanding a table that was already reserved, talking down to waitresses, trying to be funny but really just being a jerk. Then he said something to my coworker (who’s really sweet btw) like: Are your hands good for anything other than pouring drinks? She just looked shocked. I saw red. I told him, Yo man, maybe treat people like people, not like background extras in your life. He gave me that look like, you don’t know who you’re tal...

Then he said something to my coworker (who’s really sweet btw) like:

She just looked shocked. I saw red.
I told him,
Yo man, maybe treat people like people, not like background extras in your life.
He gave me that look like, you don’t know who you’re talking to. Then said out loud, Do you even know who I am?
I told him:
Nah. And judging by how you act, I don’t really care.
He didn’t like that.
On the way to the bathroom or something, he shoulder-checked me. On purpose. I pushed him back, he swings, and next thing you know we’re grappling like idiots until security pulls us apart.
Long story short, I got fired the same night. My boss said they don’t want bad PR.Whatever.
Next day, my phone starts blowing up. Somebody posted a video of the whole thing and it went kinda viral. People were like - yo isn’t that the guy from that Netflix show( I don't remember the name)
I still don’t know the show. Haven’t seen it. Don’t care.
Couple days later, the girl he was with finds me on Insta and DMs me:
Thanks for standing up to him. No one ever does.
