In a world where women often face unwanted attention during a night out, particularly those working as bartenders, one bar decided enough was enough. After a particularly uncomfortable weekend filled with inappropriate behavior towards their female bartender, they took action by creating a sign aimed at educating patrons about acceptable conduct.
The Beer Cellar in the U.K. took to Twitter to share this clever message crafted by artist Jamie Lee. The tweet stated, “This is definitely our favourite sign in the bar. Also, if guys could please stop trying to kiss our female bartender’s hands, that would be great.” The sign humorously poses the question, “Why is the female cashier being nice to you?” with two possible answers: “She is uncontrollably sexually attracted to you” or “Because that’s literally her job, you cretin.” A pie chart illustrating this point makes it clear that the correct answer is option two.
Lauren Marsh, a bartender at Beer Cellar, shared with Mashable how the sign came to be. “We printed this out after a rough weekend where we had to deal with a lot of unwanted advances.” The response from patrons has largely been positive, with the majority appreciating the humor. “Most people find it funny and supportive. Only about one percent think it’s offensive, which is amusing since it’s clearly aimed at them,” she noted.
Illustrator Jamie Lee drew on her own experiences in customer service to create the sign. “In hospitality, you’re expected to provide excellent service, but many people misinterpret that as romantic interest,” she explained. Many women who’ve worked in retail or food service can relate to this all too well. My friend Mike, who worked alongside female bartenders, often recounted stories of having to remove male patrons who couldn’t respect boundaries. It’s frustrating that such a sign is even necessary, but if it helps deter even one inconsiderate person from ruining a staff member’s evening, it’s worth it.
“I wanted to clarify that female employees are friendly out of professional obligation, not because they are interested in you!” Jamie added.
