I did a few months stint in a bar the King George Hotel in the Valley - brissy, quite a colourful place, great nightlife.
Craziest thing I ever saw

(apart from 2 inches of froth on beer

) - was when they sold booze out of the liquor outlet, they had vertical bars, and perspecs down over the window, with a little gap to fit booze and money through.
One day a beggar came through to buy his usual bottle of cheap wine, and did a runner without paying for the wine!
Well the boss comes out - Easily 50 odd - hard as nails, seen it all before, yells "which way did that f*cker go!?"

that way

- we point.
Boss takes off, chases the guy down, gets his wine, smashes the bottle over the guys head in broad daylight

at lunchtime, and walks back into the bar.
Nobody bats an eyelid.
Just another day in the Valley
