Yes, and probably not. What did they say?

Everyone has a loud mouth until they realize how expensive it actually is to sue someone. This was a drunk person making an empty threat. Nothing more.

It’s a common threat nowadays. No context but based on your title, could be possible had too many? Lol joking.

You work for an org/bar/restaurant, you fall under their liability as an employee. The customer can sue the org if there is reasonable cause to do so.

Oh they definitely had a few too many, but he mentioned being well-connected. I was just following the house rules so it's good to know the blame wouldn't be on me if anything were to happen, thank you!

Some customers will say anything to try and feel like they have power over you. I wouldn't be too worried.

Probably not. But what’s the context?

Ah yes. The ever popular “I know the owner” type. Honestly, I wouldn’t worry about it, especially if there are cameras to back you up. Only thing to worry about is overserving. If he got hurt or hurt someone else and you guys were the last place he was served, you do have some liability.

I say idle threat. Society has become so lititgous it's a threat that gets thrown around.

Hope so, I do know people just say stuff like that sometimes though

That's always gonna happen, but if you're fallowing the law and establishment rules not only are you protected but you can crack a few jokes about it after they leave

Ha that's a relief to hear, thank you.

The more aggressive of the “I’m never coming back here again!” Threat. I wouldn’t worry.

Just laugh at them

Don't worry about it, you have the right to kicked them out as they already had signs of intox and they created a disturbance.

Any tips on how I can prep for these interviews? They're with a few Sr. Product Marketing Managers on the team. I've already done an HR screening, call with the hiring manager, and deeper dive with another Sr. PMM.

Any advice is appreciated!
