Bar Staff, When Did A MAN Order The SAFE WORD Drink? What Happened?

Bar staff of Reddit have you ever had a man used the safe word drink escape and how often does it happen I worked in a nightclub that was popular with the gay community for a couple of years we didn't have a safe word but one night there were two guys clearly hitting it off they were flirting and having a great time after a couple of drinks one of the guys was clearly being very forward and touching the other was not enjoying this and had withdrawn he attempted to walk back to his friends but the first guy wasn't having this and pulled him back in an attempt to get out the guy started vigorously shaking his head anytime one of the bar staff walked by after this happened a few times we realized something needed to be done and spoke to the guy that was being all forward and explained that we didn't think the other guy wanted to stay at the bar with him he got aggressive then and started screaming at us because how the would we know what the guy wanted although it was blatantly obvious eventually we got security down to escort the guy out of the place so that the guy who had been trying to get away could go back to his friends have a good night and not have to leave here one from Eindhoven Netherlands I was working for a smaller bar with a mixed crowd for both men and women we had safe drinks women virgin tequila men virgin vodka in total I saw these ordered two times the one that sticks with me the most was for Christmas Eve this night we had mostly gay guys hanging around in the bar and some students after a while of the students s got a lot of attention of one of the gay guys GG hand on leg a lot of to personal questions touching ass and told he was straight and not interested this got the bartender that overheard this on alert end he put a napkin on the bar near where he was sitting with a red exclamation mark so all staff knew something was up s goes to toilet and GG orders a round of vodka shots bartender didn't see s so poured the order and placed it on the bar s comes back in G G tells him to help him empty the glasses s starts drinking and suddenly looks very pale and sweaty as soon as the vodka is domme GG smiles and walks to toilet s looks worse by the second and asks for virgin vodka at this moment two of the bartender's get - one of the other bars owned by my boss and call an ambulance the rest of the crew created a diversion for Gigi as soon as he came from the toilet telling him s left for a phone call ambulance notice des seemed to be drugged Gigi was drinking something else by then watered-down cocktails without him even noticing and we alerted the police who found four tubes of GHB on him in the end Gigi was arrested and s rushed to hospital eight years working at a brewery only one time have I had to actually save a guy other than the funny ones where I've helped them slip out of an awkward situation guy meets girl at the bar seats they get drinks ten minutes later round two seems normal they appear to be hitting it off out of nowhere this gal starts flipping the hell out couldn't understand most of what's coming out of her mouth screaming about this guy trying to date rape her phone in hand threatening to call the cops involving other women and had to settle this lady down for a second grasp what's going on no dice won't chill out she runs out of the bar at full speed and takes of in her car never saw her in the bar again I know this guy didn't do anything but had to talk to cops anyways make a report bla bla couple weeks passed by same guy at the bar chatting with me on the TV local news is that woman arrested for assaulting a guy whom she accused of the same thing than trying to flee it was her way of getting free food drinks yeah WTF not quite the same but I worked in a coffee shop on a busy High Street this year and had a similar sort of thing happen we noticed one customer had come in ordered and sat offers at the counter which meant that he was staring at me and my other female colleagues for about 30 minutes straight we wondered if he was high as he didn't seem aware of himself but his gaze was following me as I walked up and down the counter which was about 8 meters long we then closed and the customers sitting inside left including a very nice young couple who walked up the street away from the shop as did the weird guy about ten minutes later the couple came back to the which we had locked and not saying they'd left her phone behind they came in and told us that the man had followed him for ten minutes towards their home so they came back to hide so I'm a line cook not bar staff but at my last job we had cameras in the bar area cash register and I was talking to our night bar gal she said a guy had asked for a taxi because he felt dizzy and disoriented and didn't feel safe his girlfriend was chiding him but it turns out it wasn't her that spiked the drink the cameras caught the guy next to this couple putting something in his drink for his girlfriend and he screwed up which one because they both had the same drink so two couples one guy accidentally doses a guy's drink by mistake the girl for the dosing guy left without him apparently he was impatient when it wasn't working the worst part we thought here was cool guy he was a regular they caught him next time and called the cops and showed the tapes and last I heard he was being charged with attempted sexual assault edited for a bit more clarity only had one incident of a man using asked for angela UK safe word scheme gay cleared on a bad date his date had been extremely overbearing and even having to witness it from the bar was extremely uncomfortable we smuggled him into the kitchen and out the side door while his date went to the bathroom and called him a taxi date came back from the bathroom asked where the kid was I just went to no date started getting aggro with me so supervisor ended up throwing this guy out by the collar it honestly doesn't get used enough by either men or women especially here in the UK it absolutely sucks especially when you as a bartender can't really legally do much or you risk not only your job but the bars reputation my friend's roommate was the bouncer at our college bar my friend broke up with his girlfriend and she wanted him back she kept threatening to make a rape claim against him if he didn't get back together with her after a month of not talking to her he thought the situation was done with I ended up seeing him at the bar one night and were just drinking and shooting the of nowhere his ex appears and starts flirting with him we are both frozen in fear because he's gotta walk this fine line of not pissing her off and not getting back together with her another bouncer burst in and booms I told you to get the out what's wrong with you two he leads us to the back exit only door where my friend's roommate was standing the roommate saw the ex creeping in and had his back he sent one bouncer to kick us out I was let back in and another bouncer to stall the crazy ex so he could escape pure bro behavior I've unintentionally used the safe word drink before went to a bar with my now fiancé and ordered two Manhattan's which was apparently the safe word bad choice in my opinion but in the bars defense not exactly the place you would normally order one I was very nicely asked come over to the side bar what kind of bourbon do you want and the bartender asked if I needed a cab if I was in a dangerous or uncomfortable situation using an actual drink is the safe word is an awful idea can I have a beer come with me we have SWAT on standby my old regular bar had a drink called Neff need escape please help not really the name as it is another language but that is the idea which was not on the menu if you order it they call you a cab and one of the waiters will wait next to the toilet allowing you to pay your half there and let you into the back so you can leave our notice it was available for men and women alike to get out of bad dates though they will not really let you use it to skip on your date they didn't advertise it really but regulars knew it existed they would also actively offer someone that drink if they feel the date is going to the wrong place I saw a man being offered it once when his date was verbally abusive to him and a woman whose date was so arrogant and creepy and talked down on her never actually use it myself I actually thought it was relatively common in most neighborhood bars to have this type of drink I work in small cocktail bars in Sydney Australia prime date night joints we have something called asked for Angela where the idea is you just ask the bar staff if Angela is working tonight and that will be the hint to keep an eye on things or even call a cab I've only had one customer man or woman ever use it a nice younger guy on a date with an older gentleman the issue was threefold a venue at the time had quite a few backpackers on working holidays that were completely unaware of this protocol we had a lovely Chinese girl who went by Angela working that night and that the date was going poorly in such a fashion that to the untrained eye it looked like to work acquaintances having a drink there was that little chemistry between them apparently the ordered gentleman followed the younger in the bathroom and caught to feel prompting the ask for Angela it was a huge runaround to be honest it took quite a while for a native English speaker to tune into the argument behind the bar where Angela was explaining that she had no idea who this guy was so eventually he got some help he ordered two cocktails at the bar Asda if Angela was working tonight saying she made them the best we ended up ordering an uber for him while he feigned an emergency and brought the drinks out in time that the older bloke sort of felt obligated to stay and finish them just as his uber arrived unfortunately a lot of bars have joined the ask for Angela campaign it's government sponsored hosted the signs in their ladies rooms and called it a day no staff training this is because it puts you on a government list of safe bars and well nobody can give up free publicity very disappointing I also believe it needs to better extend to men on poor dates as well I rarely see the posters in men's rooms just unisex and ladies I used to work in a high quality seafood restaurant as a chucker there were never any safe words but there were a lot of telling looks people behind the bar hear a lot of your conversations they usually know what's going on before you do I've had to escort more people than my job required off of the premises look at the bar staff in the eyes and slightly shake your head and we know I used to bartend and do front-desk at a hotel one of my regulars was in for the week real nice guy very friendly and happily married we also had a cuckoo bird lady staying with us that week she was decent looking but deaf had crazy eyes they were both at the bar and they were talking for a while him being a nice guy he didn't want to outright blow her off I guess he stops at the front desk to say what's up and we talked for a bit while the girl is just standing behind him he shoots me a look that says get me out of this situation as he starts walking towards the elevator once she gets in the elevator I called him back to ask a question about Detroit because I was going there next week he got off the elevator but so did she then I told the lady there was a problem with the card she had on file there wasn't and he slipped away he called me thanking me a few minutes later I used to bartend for a gay bar one night I had a group of guys who seemed to be having a great time after another round of shots one sticks behind at the bar and asks for an angel shot I bring him behind the bar and into the office he was with a couple co-workers and their friends he knew the co-workers were gay and would be taking him to a gay bar but apparently things started to get out of hand when they started trying to grope him I tell him he can chill in the back room for as long as he needed he hands me a handful of crumpled ones and asks for a burger we didn't really serve food beside shitty bar snacks so I hand him back his money and give him a couple bags of chips about half an hour later I go to check on him and notice that he's really messed up to the point where he can't even talk definitely drugged with something luckily all his asshole friends were still there drinking so I called the cops he's rushed away in an ambulance immediately I shut the bar down to the cops and I can go through the security footage we managed to catch two of the guys he's with putting some powder into his beer both of them were arrested the other two were somewhere else at the time and will let go yup had exactly this happened to me years back in a nightclub I managed L only time I've ever experienced it so I wouldn't say it happens off turned out the girl he was with was an escort and she had threatened him saying guys were waiting outside to beat the out of him unless he paid up so many hundreds more than what they had agreed earlier we immediately got the police involved instead of just escorting him out it spiraled out of control briefly but all was well in the end our had some good times working in the club industry am a bouncer had a regular dude meeting a tinder date she was pretty hot and I gave him a thumbs up she was very polite and nice two drinks later she became an utter bitch I walked up to him to see how it was going and he explained while she was in the toilet how much her the bitch she was being to everyone he came up to me said how good the whiskey was he just had and I knew straight away he's a beer man through and through he wanted to bail I asked him if he would stay if he didn't meet her he nodded so I kicked the girl out and told her she was too drunk he met his girlfriend of now three years two hours later after I kicked her out you
