We have a strange regular who has been coming in for a month or two now, we'll call him IC. He comes in late, sits at the bar, and drinks iced coffee. He asks a lot of questions and tries to engage us in conversation. At first I thought he was lonely, so I went with it. Then i realized he is strange and creepy. Last night he hit a new peak.
He came in and sat at the bar and seemed fine. A little while later, my coworker told me IC's finger was gushing blood. He said he'd cut it on a glass or his stool, he wasn't sure which. Interesting. He ate up the attention from the other bartender, our manager, and a girl sitting next to him. He even got her to put a bandaid on it for him.
RULE NUMBER FUCKING ONE: DO NOT TOUCH A STRANGERS BLOOD.
So we're going about our business, letting the manager deal with him. After she walked away, the girl at the bar tracked her down to talk to her about IC. Apparently after it all died down, he quietly told her that he'd actually cut it on a shopping cart at walmart.
RULE NUMBER FUCKING TWO: IF YOU CUT YOURSELF ON A SHOPPING CART AT WALMART, YOU SHOULD HAVE THAT SHIT CLEANED OUT IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT STOP FOR AN ICED COFFEE AND SOME SYMPATHETIC ATTENTION.
So he cuts his finger at walmart, casually comes into the bar, and then claims it happened there. Why did he do this? Not to begin a ridiculous lawsuit. Not to get his iced coffee for free. Just for the sympathy.
WTF.
