Here's the deal. At the watering hole this LOUD bozo bullies himself around. What to do - fight? Scene? Lose face? What?!1
Depend on the women wait staff to "manage"?
The dude is LOUD/obnoxious, pushes boundaries/ power-struggles.
I'm near-70. How anybody whatever age deal with bully-boys (in their 40s)?!1
No way to lose face calling the owner, calling the Police, depending on the female employees. And the jerk starts each session by approaching with a handshake.
Answer: "No respect, no handshake." Nothing.
Next day I'll say: Why do you want to shake hands with anybody you don't respect?!1 Go, Aretha!1
