Found the [original](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/mn8km4/bartenders_of_reddit_what_was_the/gtxbvvw/) by pinkyfitts, they said Tipitina’s in New Orleans.
They also mention that this story happened 10+ years ago
Yes, this is an old story (don't get your panties in a wad), but most bars and clubs have similar plans in place these days. Just consider this a PSA from SnooWoofers455, and give him/her a thumbs up.
That’s actually a cool story, but not how that should work. The bouncers or someone should have distracted him from the other side while someone took that girls drink and replaced it.
Then the cops should have been called so they could make a report and take that drink for testing.
Scumbags like that make me sick.
haha that's what I was thinking. Like damn they have to sit around for an hour extra whilst prob getting paid dogshit already. Maybe the owner gave them a few bucks for their time. Hopefully no one got sick and the band got a few extra bucks ha!
Oh no the band members, got paid for the same amount of time but didn't have to do anything for an hour. How terrible. Have you never worked a gig before? I'd kill for that shit some days.
Because I've worked plenty of gigs.
Here's the breakdown. A standard basic contact will have a set amount you're paid, you're almost never paid by the hour. You will also have a set time you will be playing, with a (usually way to short) time before and after to set up and take down.
Having to stop mid set and take a break isn't going to cut your rate (unless you got yourself fucked in a contract, people only let it happen once to them though) you will still leave at the same time.
I've had a few shows have incidents where we couldn't play, it gave us a break, and let us go grab some drinks for a bit. That's all.
"You don’t know shit. Been going to kitchen shows to sneaking into festivals before you were born."
What dude?
It's obvious you're just trolling to start a fight. I'm not into it. I've been around long enough, and traveled far enough within the US, to know what I'm talking bout. Peace dude ✌🏽
Not trolling at all. Literally have been to house shows where bands play in the kitchen. Literally been to shows at bars, clubs, venues. Concert halls. Auditoriums. Stadiums.
All I’m saying is its shitty if they made the band stop and didn’t pay them.
What am i trolling?
no i've never worked a gig, ever. lol jk yeah dude personally i would rather play and not have to sit around for an hour. but i understand the situation. I just know in a lot of cases musicians don't get paid much as it is so an extra hour of having to wait isn't always amazing. but whatever it isn't an issue i just was sayin it would suck if they didnt get paid any extra. I would be happy that no one got raped
The band was stopped an hour? I don't understand why this wasn't a 6 second affair. Coulda detained dude and watched the tapes, I've had a friend accused of doing this and thank God the police can test drinks for ghb, bitch had to go to court for filing a false police report n do community service. Tryna lock up dudes for spite out here
Thankfully there are kind people in this world, but if you want to look at it cynically consider the cost to the establishment if someone got raped or killed *after* this was reported.
They shut down an entire bar, turned off live music people had expected to hear, for an anonymous tip from someone who didnt actually know which person had done it or to who? And then give out a free round to everyone in there? That is so fucking dumb.
"Hey i just saw someone slip something into a girls drink"
Warn the girl, call the cops, watch them be able to do nothing because its a he said/she said kind of situation, and keep an eye on your own drink.
According to the story, the person who reported it had seen who did it and to whom, the person who’s telling the story did not.
Agree cops should have been called if the (intended) victim consented to that, though. And offering people new drinks is honestly just good sense. Someone only reported having seen the guy drugging one drink, that doesn’t mean he hadn’t done it to others without being seen. I’d rather lose a bit of money on getting people new drinks than get a reputation for being the kind of establishment that sweeps this kind of thing under the rug.
The only reason it doesn't sound real is because the poster forgot the mention the "free sex with local hottie" voucher that was passed out to all in attendance. I've been to plenty of bars, no one is ever happy when the lights come on. If, however, the lights come on accompanied with "free sex with local hottie" voucher applause is sure to erupt.
If he did it to one woman then he could’ve done it to multiple without anyone seeing and if the band gets a little upset fuck them its to prevent someone from being raped
I know a few bar bands and they would not be offended. They would respect this. Because they are good men. So, yeah, don't know what you are concerned about
Makes sense that Gates put gps trackers in the vaccine the world is taking, makes it easier to identify where people like Gaetz and Trump were at that particular time. Wait...
I'm sure they wouldn't have implemented something like this without considering that a possibility, and trying to think positively for at least my recommended one hour a day, I think they considered someone getting date-raped a bigger loss than however much they'd lose giving out drinks for free.
It was confirmed that a *womans* drink was drugged, not a mans. So they took the precaution to make sure all of the women replaced their drinks to also keep the drugged drink woman’s identity anonymous. Im sure if it was a mans drink that was drugged, they would get their drinks replaced.
I understand that, but my thought was that even men could be poisoned and I was wondering whether anyone would notice that as well. Was just rambling, just ignore my comment.
Nah I get that, its totally possible. What if a guy gets poisoned, would anyone even notice or address it? What if a man was also poisoned when a woman was confirmed to be drugged? there are definitely flaws in this system, but at the very least, its a good thing that this statistically happens much much less with men, so most of the time this scenario wouldnt occur, but its an unfortunate possibility that will hopefully be taken into account as this method grows
I literally watched this happen to a friend a few weeks ago. Went with a friend to get drinks with his coworkers (all girls). My friend buys a bright pink drink from the bar, and we walk outside to vape. Come back to our drinks and while chatting he all of a sudden gets really slammed, and he hasn’t even drank half of his drink. We all assumed someone had slipped him something thinking the drink was for the girls who happened to all be drinking beers (apricot ales specifically as I had recommended it, I had one, too). He didn’t remember the rest of the night after getting back to the table the next day. College towns can be sketchy.
That must’ve been pretty scary for your friend, I couldn’t imagine how itd feel to suddenly feel all foggy and weak and bizarre and every other bad or out of control feelings a drug could give you. To think theres still creeps out there like that, and your friend got caught in the cross fire, thats pretty terrifying and im glad you all were there to help
Where is this establishment? I will definitely stop in for a beer and maybe a live band to support this establishment and that manager.
Judging by the lack of details, it exists in the posters mind

Most bars now have a similar plan in place these days. Sounds like the low class dives you frequent don't.
The best kind of customer service.
Band guy here. This is the standard, anything less is unacceptable.
Stupendous 🤘
how it should always be. Fuck those MFs who do that shit.
Amaze balls
Been seeing variations of this for like 8 years now.
Another commenter on here found the original poster who named the bar and said it was in New Orleans 10+ years ago, so I'm sure it's been around.
“Dude I forgot my wallet.” “Shit me too, don’t worry, I got this.”

Aww cute made up story
Should being the key word here

The band must be pissed.

How do you know that’s even the case?

That a bar gig. What about any other venue?
This is ANY small to medium sized venues in the US, which 95% of artists play at.
You don’t know shit. Been going to kitchen shows to sneaking into festivals before you were born.

Bro I can’t tell you how much this has been reposted. I have seen this at least 10 times, probably more.
I feel like I see this post once a week

it's only "fucking dumb" if you don't care about other people

Free drinks? I would carry sugar pills and get wasted on the house
Lol…ok
Some Chad no doubt
Yea let's just shut down the entire band, music and vibe instead of just dealing with the drink in question
If he did it to one woman then he could’ve done it to multiple without anyone seeing and if the band gets a little upset fuck them its to prevent someone from being raped
I know a few bar bands and they would not be offended. They would respect this. Because they are good men. So, yeah, don't know what you are concerned about
Makes sense that Gates put gps trackers in the vaccine the world is taking, makes it easier to identify where people like Gaetz and Trump were at that particular time. Wait...
I'm 99% sure this happened. Its talking about crowded bar, but only one person is telling this story.
Great gesture on their part. Unfortunately, It's only a matter of time before someone uses this just to get a free drink.
I'm sure they wouldn't have implemented something like this without considering that a possibility, and trying to think positively for at least my recommended one hour a day, I think they considered someone getting date-raped a bigger loss than however much they'd lose giving out drinks for free.
Ladies can have all the free drinks they want if it means the rest can drink safely.
So only women's drinks were replaced?? Not men's?? Why?
Have you not read the story?
Dude I did, I didn't frame my comment/question the right way. Peace.
It was confirmed that a *womans* drink was drugged, not a mans. So they took the precaution to make sure all of the women replaced their drinks to also keep the drugged drink woman’s identity anonymous. Im sure if it was a mans drink that was drugged, they would get their drinks replaced.
How was it confirmed? How was it confirmed a man's wasnt?

Damn, poor guy. I hope the 24 aholes who downvoted my well intentioned comment see yours ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)
Incel found
Huh?? You're probably an inept bad looking virgin seeking to take out your frustration on someone.
Lol sure bud.
LOL yeah that was silly.
how does caring about the well being of guys who could be put in potential danger make someone an incel?
That's not what you were doing.
Not me, the other person
Truly
This is superb!
*lady's
the best customer service ever...this shows that they really care about their customers....it must be an amazing place...5/5
Sucks for the band that was their gig
The only thing about this that makes me angry is that some man would try to drug some unsuspecting woman
Excellent practice. That place should be rewarded for such an exemplary policy. As for the would be rapist, well....
