travis travis has actually bartended for us for a while just watch him i know does your husband treat your staff well i i don't think so his negativity you know it's infectious almost two years so it's basically did his attitude cause the failure or did the failure cause his attitude when we first opened he was positive he used to be happy and fun and enjoy life and now he just seems miserable all the time i think he's just set himself up in his mind that there's no way out hey girl started off something to drink he hang everything and maybe i wouldn't be in this situation around dude okay obviously something's going on travis he gives stuff away he forgets you ladies want a shot yeah so hey so was he a drinker will you guys i mean he would drink but never like this have an owner your husband who's sitting at the bar getting drunk he hasn't been in the kitchen in a while he hasn't looked at any tables he doesn't know if things are coming out right this is him isn't it yeah uh

a wife you know you're a drunkard right yeah you know it i do you know you're not working so folks now you know why i'm here it's not because of a failing bar it's because of a failing person i think a man should earn the right to come home every day you should sleep in your bar tonight let's go let's just get out of here grab me a beer by the way go dude you gotta go gotta go no no [Applause] stop josh go home seriously [Music] it's like a volcano can only build so much pressure we're all at our wit's end could something give me a ride at home dude the man needs a kick in the nuts can you get me right now i saw an obnoxious fool two nights ago it was embarrassing where's all the potential in the freaking world what are you scared of because i want to help you i'm scared of failure and i'm scared of how i deal with failure you are far more valuable than any business i think i lost sight of that your wife loves you buddy i'm lucky she's put up with as much as she has i want to get back to the guy that she married 10 years ago i'm gonna bring her in to talk to us okay oh next year you have not been good at reaching out to lexia for help no i reached for a bottle you're not a victim are you no no we got to help him now okay you will completely back him up correct absolutely he's humbled up he's accepted responsibility we are freaking proud of you thank you i think for the first time we really feel hopeful so i'm excited for the relaunch and i'm beside myself i like that thanks appreciate it so there's bruno why is he cooking we had a full-time chef and there was a big falling out and we couldn't afford another chef we doing i'm all right how are you how are we doing hi there's liz liz is a bartender i love liz she was originally a customer i've been drinking a bit yeah you'd be surprised when he touches so i'm just saying there's chris she's a big girl she can handle a big one i came out really wrong i apologize we pisses a lot of people off maybe you shouldn't be working in a park it's the most magical place on the earth it's posh they probably should have been in the kitchen than ever being out on the floor oh shots for the bartender peanuts drinking burn out allows that he always has i have never worked behind a bar where i was allowed to drink he stays in the kitchen all night long and that's what happens she doesn't run the place so i reached out to about 200 people and they're in line outside of the bar right now oh my god are you kidding i'm simulating that the theater just broke okay because that's one of the built-in opportunities exactly that this bar has he's got a full staff let's see what happens oh it is going to get so ugly now i knew it was going to hit the fan i knew it everybody started coming in and we got hit then it was like oh my god we're going down that's all we're all gonna die with smiles on our face i have no idea what's going on right now i have no idea what i'm doing is there's people still walking inside there is i don't know this bar is now four deep hey if a shot of patrolman is way back here i wouldn't be mad okay he's in the kitchen he doesn't even know what's happening it's a lot of chaos all at once [Applause] [Music] somebody needs to get her off [Applause] look at them they're embarrassed they're going to win they're like what is happening you realize she's embarrassing the bar by allowing this to happen she's shaking her head that poor woman [Music] she got a pause but she got a pause from the young college students who don't spend money the adults are ashamed and he's back there doing what somebody would do for ten dollars an hour he's not a smart man give me a break that young lady just got you a free drink [Music] look at this um um um um what am i doing there's no systems here it's been a manual handwritten system since the minute we opened it's such a nightmare completely disorganized seriously yeah yeah yeah for real chill i need another drink let me tell you something chill out you see everybody else yeah all right good you'll get it when i get to you what else do you want me to do when i get yeah i think so you can't treat a guest like that it does not matter if you're busy it doesn't excuse me coming through excuse me people at the customers lots of people waiting it's a mess customer is reaching over the bar and helping herself it's a free-for-all all right i'm taking five minutes yeah now let's see if bruno helps he's holding on to the floor get the pole hope he doesn't touch food after touching that hole i gotta make some food yeah [Music] he's not going out there and running the bar he's hiding i haven't seen him wash his hand once i don't even believe this he's never been using his gloves this dish should also have the essence of a stripper pole oh no he put his hand on top of the food oh geez that's disgusting order up yachts every time he touches something he's contaminating something else after these orders i might kill the kitchen they just stopped taking orders that's the way to do it here he's facing total economic growth and he's drinking a beer we have to stop this rescuing this bar is critical for the economic stability of claudia a ten-year-old who's counting on her father to come through and he's yet to do it sherry's here are you surprised here am i surprised i think the shock comes to mind seriously she has no business being here say about your ex-wife turn around and get out how do you think he's running this place not so well easy to say from the outside looking in it's filthy in here come on your attitude sucks the puck on a kettle black you couldn't bartend because you couldn't make a change are you kidding well you know what she's sitting here right now actually trying to help you no she's not trying to help me she's trying to accuse me like she always does she said a lot of [ __ ] for a long time i'm watching your bartenders drink girls on stripper poles and you don't have a clue and this is what you do you come into the kitchen and drink that's how you come through for your little girl i think you're so used to fixing bars and you forget what it's like to work place every day i've owned more than you already i'm sure you have but i'm saying you've been doing this for so long and you forget how hard it is to do it on a daily basis the difference is i won't stand back here and great wow i'm hammered i can't do my job somebody better close for me thank you when you guys were successful here we had a good front of the house manager right yeah i want you to have that again for at least one night to have coverage and support here so tonight's dress says i would like sherry to work the very front of the house this is a bad idea sherry your purpose is to reinstill the old things that we used to do a little detailing make people feel welcome plain and simple this is a bad idea i'm already objecting to this this is not going to work for me i think it's a dumb idea and perfectly else with you are you telling me you think i'm done no i said the idea in the whole quarter of a million dollars yeah the idea of this is is not good it's just creating tension and stress where it's not needed you are hurting the business i'm not hurting the business i came into tonight prepared to run the front of the house i used to run the front of the house by myself on point you've been doing a great job last year watch the back of the house so what you want everybody to leave no you want you to leave out burn out burn out it's only one night one night just please we're here for you bruno remember that you are now be here for i want to be here for us i don't know why bruno can't get past his personal issues with sherry obviously she could help out why can't you just be a problem with it nice and normal for one that's been nice and normal for two and a half years now you haven't been out for 25 years so okay you know let's if we're going to split hairs exactly where we are that's my point listen to me your personal life is interfering with your business it's just unnecessary i think it's emotional i think it's discipline and i think you need it okay do it with a good attitude i can't just change my attitude why not because it's that's what professionals do emotions i'd like you guys to be reminded of the habits you had when we were successful i asked sherry to come here to send a message to the market that she supports this business if you focus on production behind the bar and in the kitchen and she focuses on guest service we should have a nice little combined effort going do you agree you'll see it okay let's go to work i don't need this right now one bit john bringing his share here is one of the worst ideas i could possibly think of don't let him stress everybody else out i don't know why bruno can't realize that we have a common ground bruno has to let it go especially for just one night it stops people from dancing on the pole last night bruno and sherry actually worked together today i want to make sure bruno and sherry bury the hatchet for claudia's sake and to protect the future of their business when my daughter was 12 i got divorced that anger was like a cancer to me and i got to a point that i said to myself i will never bad mouth my daughter's mother ever and i need to know that she won't bad-mouth me ever that understanding created an opportunity to co-exist my daughter won big time you want to say anything to her we've been battling for years now i'm ready i think i am i wasn't until you brought it to light it's leaving me alive i know what it is it's the hardest thing in the world it's a big help good i'll be glad all right it's gonna be great i'm really proud that you got this far okay are you good buddy i'm good i'm very good powerful a few days yeah man it's good it's a revelation can i have a promise that you never say a bad word about each other that's an important one yeah claudia's gonna win from this you're a great example for everyone who takes a bad situation and rises above it both of you well done oh he's working girl i'm always working so there's heather okay she's the owner and i have a bar so when i'm drinking i'm working yeah all right there's heather's husband howard they're losing two thousand dollars a month now howard has to give heather the money that he earns to cover the losses in the bar it's gonna be a big strain on the relationship you would think so right hi [Music] there's dee she's a bartender your specials tonight okay we have three dollar toy cards and three dollar cherry daddies so there's victoria she's a bartender okay what's yours okay here comes the boy pass the teeth and pass the guns look how tummy here it comes there's devin he's a bartender what's wrong she needs some training or what yeah do you see him smiling not at all and she's sitting there with her girlfriends just having shots he's not having any drinks he's sober isn't he he's serious he's watching the business i'm guessing at any point how he could say that's enough right when that gravy train stops that's when we straighten up right just continue to work i don't need to work anymore just continue to try to take care of the guests that's terrible okay well i'll just hit a minute thanks it's all about her party you notice that let me read some shots this is her party her place and i find it interesting that her husband pays the bills all right but she's sitting there drinking his booze and she's buying the drinks for all of her girlfriends i'm ready if i started yes or no two all right are you buying those or what yeah i'm gonna someone give me 15 shots and you get a shot and you get a shot and you get a shot [Music] [Applause] she's months from losing the whole damn place and you wonder what the hell is she happy about she has none of the risk involved in losing this so she's just having a grand old time with her girlfriends like she's at a private house party you already have one heather didn't get one oh i'm missing one for me you don't need one oh please fructose nene over there [Applause] and he's watching her have fun as she burns the money yep i it's not funny really she's drunk you know what guys i'm going to do something i've never done before i want to see if she can do this i am going to go in there right now i'm going to order so many drinks oh man so i'm going to go in and i'm going to do my own freaking recon this is going to be great let's see what she's got take oh my god another shot boy look at this guys we're just lining them up here did you pay for this i'm howard really bought it for her didn't he yes sir how many drinks did you buy her tonight howard you don't even know do you no sir and why i don't get this why why just like to have a good time so you like to have a good time at his expense so and are these your buddies yes and they come here and drink for free don't they no they have tabs sometimes sometimes yeah right cause he's working his ass off and you're partying yours month after month how many times have you written checks howard 25 at least 25 checks for 2 000 and nyx is what you do in front of him sometimes sometimes she says i got his back so i want to see what you got come behind the bar i'm gonna do my own recon all right what's your favorite drink to sell not to drink heather i make a cucumber shots no nut shots a cocktail can you make a margarita sure okay make me 15 of them right 15. yes make me 15 of them right now cause i'm gonna do it howard does it i'm gonna call you out he's being way too nice let's see what you got all right 15 of them let's go i got it i got it it's the most popular drink in america heather you should be able to do it you're right [Music] now do it without putting your hands all over the top of the glass she just running your fingers through your hair and everything else we gonna be here all night howard no it looks like it shut up this is amazing i'm working fast if she was sober could she do this oh yeah i am sober but she can't do it why i'm not because she's had probably five or six shots since we've been here so why is she more generous when she's drunk absolutely is she more flirty when she's drunk absolutely do you lose more money when she's drunk absolutely so why the hell are you drunk i'm not drunk you are taking shots sitting here with your girlfriends what did you do tonight that was work you know howard the quicker you tell her you're not writing any more checks the quicker she straightens up you know that ah yeah i know that but you know that it's a little hard to do i get it but you're enabling it aren't you no he's not give me a minute give me a minute so now i've been waiting what seven eight minutes for these drinks you just told me to make them give me a chance to make them doesn't that bother you that you're freeloading off your husband a party doesn't that bother you do you make a margarita should it be shaken or should it be built in a glass it should be shaking thank you don't point at me now shake them and start over again every time divorce every time it should be shaken no i'm glad you think this is funny while he keeps writing the checks cause you're dumping more of his booze down the drain now aren't you well it's our money i put a lot of money in it too it's not just about him i have worked my eyes he's writing the checks and going to a job right now yes but i also put on this all my money you know with you no howard i got your back but i don't want to do this for her this is outrageous it's incredibly disrespectful and you better realize i want your help i'm out of here so do i still make the drinks look at this place look at how everything is worn dingy when was the last time he updated anything in this place uh maybe a year eight years eight years the average nightclub needs some type of a remodel or a facelift every three years and generally rebranding every seven jp has owned this place now for eight years he hasn't put a diamond to it um can i do a mojito we don't have mojito how can they not have a mojito in a caribbean bank can i do margaritas yeah who's that bartender here can i see a menu a menu we don't have any kitchen's not even open so you can't even get something open in the night time is your drink good it's pretty bad

old looks like my school cafeteria how's your drink uh my drink just tastes like pure margarita mix going to a caribbean latin place and not being able to get a mojito is pretty surprising i would
