Did you try Google? I can tell you there is no "Black Gum, HI" just off the
top of my head. If there is, it's got to be so small that elevators would
not be an issue.

In Utah, a bar in a restaurant cannot serve mixed drinks over the bar if the
customer can see the drink being mixed. The bar must either provide a place
out of sight of the customer to mix the drink, or else the bartender has to
walk around to the customer's side of the bar and hand him the drink.

Boy, that goes against every bartender rule. Any place else, bartenders
are taught to make the drink where the customer can see it being made.

Yes, but any place else, the role of a bartender is to make the customer
happy he's buying a drink, whereas on Planet Utah, his/her role is to
discourage enjoying drinking.

He might have to if you weren't here to take up the slack.

I remember in the early days of Vermont skiing (before 1960) because of
Sunday blue laws, bars had to stop serving alcohol Saturday at midnight.

Also, a patron was not allowed to walk from the bar to a table, or from
table to table, carrying a drink. A waiter had to be called to provide that
service.

Needless to say, the laws have changed.

I'm afraid he's being unrealistic. I can only spare him a short "go
away" now and then. Swearwords cost extra.
