Not to be an ass but not everyone who coughs and sniffles is sick. This was a regular occurrence before people hyper focused on a respiratory disease for 3 years. I don’t think a bartender is likely able to differentiate someone’s allergies or smokers cough etc. I have acid reflux and cough all the time, I don’t think I’d appreciate a bar tender trying to diagnose me based on nothing and tell me to fuck off.

Yeah but are you leaving snot laden tissues and lung butter for them to clean up?

Me no I clean after myself and don’t have snot issues. Imo anyone should clean up even if sick. But my point still stands this isn’t for a bartender to decide who is sick and who isn’t.

But at the same time what about the folks who are actually sick and deem they're not?

I’m not saying I agree with that. But why is that a strangers job to determine if you are sick or not? With what training? With what authority? I agree they should stay home if sick, but I also think that has nothing to do with the bartender logically.

Exactly. I’m a barfly and I’ve never seen anyone leave used tissues on the bar. It’s certainly not a widespread issue. OP is just being pissy.

OP works in the service industry. They enable your cirrotic habit. Be kind to them

I’m very kind to them. I don’t cough in their faces, I tip well and I’m the quiet guy at the end of the bar that doesn’t cause problems. Get off the cross, we need the wood.

100%. I feel like OP is looking for a reason to justify being a dick although I do support the sentiment.
