Would your conscience let you?

whats that have to do with this thread?

drunk driving is illegal.

drinking whilst pregnant is not.

but if someone really wanted to take it this far:

you can get in trouble for leaving a child alone in a car, at home, or leaving guns in the house where they're accesible to kids....i believe its "reckless child endangerment"...

and you aren't legally allowed to abort a fetus after a certain point...at which it becomes "an actual human" not just an embryo or w/e they wanna refer to it is.

so IF she's pregnant past the "point of no return", i.e. its considered its own being and cannot be aborted, and she's drinking....one could argue reckless child endangerment...

bit of a stretch, law-wise....but i bet theres a damned good lawyer out there who could make it stick...

i would serve her. it is her right to drink responsibly. personally i find it wrong but on the other hand any woman who is comfortable in a bar pregnant and has the balls to drink responsibly...like having a beer or a glass of wine or two shows confidence. we need more confident woman out there.

I'd serve her, but if she wanted too much for my liking i'd stop. I'm not going to help fuck up someones life for a job...

[Wintersweet]

I'd serve her.
It's not my business as to whether she's drinking whilst pregnant or not.
She may not even be pregnant.
And I am a firm believer in that once you're in the later stages of pregnancy (so...when she is noticeably pregnant), one drink will not harm anyone.

If she kept drinking, I might make a comment.
But if she's not going to care about having a drink in the first place, then my talking to her won't make any difference.

if the woman is drinking in bar's
then she's probaby drinking at home and other place's
id dont believe she can sue some 1 for her child haveing f.a.c.
i worked in bar's 4 year's started when i was 17
i can not remember any pregnat women even coming in2 my bar
so luckily i never had 2 deal with that sorta thing
i dont think id serve her if i knew she was pregnant
i dont know if 1 can get fired if the woman complained tho
this is a hard 1 ,4 sure
her rite's and ur moral judgment
just do what ur heart tell's u

if you failed to serve another race with no explaination, it would be construed as racism, and you would possibly be facing a potential civil rights lawsuit.

that term doesnt mean the establishment reserves the right to pass judgement on anyone. and personal belief should not be enforced in the workplace.

thats my 2 cents.

How the hell did I go from refusing to serve alcohol to a pregnant woman to being a racist? That's the worst counterargument I've ever heard and trust me, that is saying something on these boards.

I'm not passing judgement. I'm personally choosing to refuse service. The lush can go get as hammered as she likes in some other bar with some of you more shady bartenders.
For that matter, when do you draw the line with serving just regular drunks? If someone's on their 35th shot are going to pour them their next? Bearing in mind that you might be liable if this person dies during the night...

The last thing I'd need as a bartender is some "developmentally challenged" kid sueing me for everything I had 15 years down the road because I let his mom get drunk one night oh so long ago.

hell no!

[thcbongman]

No because of possible liability issues. Go somewhere else!

exactly! What an absord question. If you are pregnant WTF are you doing wanting a drink anyway. If you cant control yourself, even when your pregnant, then you have a fucking problem. Your willing to risk that shit?

[Reefer Rogue]

I wouldn't serve her, I wouldn't get fired, if i did i wouldn't care because i don't wanna be a bar tender...
