If that dumb bitch in the corner had minded her own business, the entire situation would never have escalated.
Yes and no. The waiter should have owned it, not identified the complainant. Not to a drunk person already out of control. If I were the waiter and knew this person was THAT drunk, I would ask who is in charge of this table?
And ask the sober people to solve the problem by picking a different table to move to because someone else complained (and maybe offer them a free dessert or something for the inconvenience). Let the "designated" sober friends get their buddy to go along, and not try to argue with a drunk guest.
I doubt if she was going to go anywhere peaceably
Nobody was going to tell HER what to do
Okay well for her friends: throw in free dessert to get her to move to a table elsewhere.
(Too bad there wasn't a jukebox to place her next to and drown her out with loud country music.)
For her, offer to throw in more drinks till she's under the table and has to be carried out.
Something!
Funny I have the opposite reaction when I drink, even the tiniest sip of alcohol. I shut down and go right to sleep. I can't even drink the 3-5% alcohol fruit drinks without diluting them with soda first. I'm no fun at all!
Free dessert, hell. Charge her a fine.
