I’ve been in the bar business as an owner for over 25 years. I’ve seen people do some stupid things. However, last Wednesday night at a popular Karaoke night this individual gets our “lowest class act” award in over a quarter century. This idiot stole a bottle of Yager from behind our bar. Congrats, buddy, your friends must be real proud of you for pulling a stunt like that. Now that you’ve had your fun, why don’t you show the world some REAL CLASS and get a new bottle and return it to the bar? I’ll write back to this paper and tell everyone that you had the balls to step up and do the right thing. Think how proud of you they’ll be now? You’ll be a goddamn hero! We’ll forgive you and I’ll even treat you to the first double out of the bottle. C’mon, man… you got the balls? I’m here every morning after 10:00. —The Owner

Good luck finding a Halifax jury that will actually convict…

In 25 years as an owner of bars, someone stealing a half used bottle of booze is the lowest class act you have seen? Really? Either your standards are really messed up, or it was you that stole that bottle and drank it and forgot. Its a bar, people drink, they get carried away sometimes, 25 years and you don’t know that?
Mind your bar dumbass. It is very obvious that even if you had actually owned a bar for 25 years that losing a bottle of booze is the least of your problems.
Cut him some slack…he’s obviously not all there as he only swiped a bottle of Yager…(which you no-doubt charge 3 times more than what the shit is actually worth)Christ, this stuff started out as cough syrup in Europe before someone decided to do shots with it…it’s not like it was anything good like a 12 y/o bottle of scotch or something.
I’m not condoning him stealing but seriously, you probably write-off more liquor due to spillage in the run of a weekend then what this guy made off with. Remember his face and if he tries to come back in, either confront him there or ban him…or both!
What I don’t get is how he could steal a bottle from your bar and make it out without someone stopping him. I mean, someone MUST have seen him do it. Otherwise, how could you know it was him? Right? Obviously, there are some flaws in your bar layout or in the vigilence of your staff. I’d chalk this up to an asshole being…well..an asshole and look at possible solutions to prevent something like this from happening again.
What I don’t understand (and I’ve seen this in many bars) why the bartender leaves the bar without someone else taking their place so incidents like this don’t happen.
We are talking about KARAOKE? Would you expect no less from the Walmart crowd? Sheesh, thought this fad died out with the mullet ……. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen a mullet since the transit strike …… hmmmmmm
Good points all, Vastie but I have to point out: Karaoke Bar – Jager WAS “the good stuff”.
I wonder if the perp is the same Calgary spunk-monkey who likes smashing shop windows when he’s stumblefuck-shit-your-pants drunk
douchebaggery is eternal o.p., and so is theft. both of which is the case here. give them 24 hours, then call cops and have them charged. i presume you have a security camera on premises?
Good for ya. Your booze is overpriced and your bar prolly sucks!
finders keepers losers weepers
I wish we could do the off-license sales like they do in the UK and other places in Europe. You want a bottle of hooch? Slip on down to your nearest local and buy it. Booze would be much cheaper and it would be a shit load more convenient.
how did they finish the bottle inside the bar without anyone noticing???
or how the fuck did they get past bartenders AND security staff and just stroll on out?!?!?
dude, you need to change a few policies in your place…
Maybe it was the Hamburgler, you know, to wash his burgers down with. Anyhoo, good luck finding the jäger bandit.
Good God Ivan!!! Where did you get the pic of my cousin?
Just kidding, but I did have to look closely to make sure it wasn’t her. It’s not her, so I’m going to look closely again 😉
Pour yourself a jager-bomb Hugo and take all the time you need. >; )
… and if she were my cousin, I do believe I would seriously consider pulling up stakes…and moving to Wolfville. >: 0
As a person who has been involved with another & to please them has attended more than one karaoke show…I can understand the possibility of someone unconsciously finding themselves on the sidewalk, its happened to me more than once the howling , the screaming/shrieking just drove me out the door.
It doesn’t explain the piece of garbage that stole a bottle & by doing so puts the wait staff on the hook for the cost ! But seeing as I have gone out with a bartender as well, that’s what the securtiy cameras are for.
So go review the recording & If you don’t have any…you might want to get that fixed !
Has anyone been to the new karaoke place on Spring Garden? I wanna creep on some azn boize
A bar staffed by people so clueless I can walk behind the bar and steal your liquor? Where is this magical place? I need a new bottle of rum OP you dumbshit.
I think all you people should just stop blaming the victim.

I’ll come & listen to you sing Mel 🙂
I agree with INFY. If that’s the lowest act you’ve seen in 25 years, you’ve lived a charmed life as a bar owner.
Hugo, to be fair… the ‘honor system’ simply doesn’t work in a bar setting…
that’s like forgetting a brick of coke in spryfield and expecting it to be there when you get back.
