Got tempered glass shelving?
So heres a fun little situation. After a long, busy and hard restaurant week, we close up shop saturday night looking forward to a day of not working while the restaurant sleeps and recovers. Little did we know that the shelves that we store most of our booze is in fact not tempered glass. Really, who checks to see if the glass will break under hundreds of pounds of pressure? Anyway, in the middle of the night the longest of our shelves, the one with the most bottles of booze on it, the most expensive bottles, gives and they almost all bite the dust. Not the worst problem in the world in itself. Domino's are a mother fucker. The a fore mentioned shelf unfortunately was mounted above and behind my beautiful 20 tap system...... all but 4 were tipped on by falling bottles and shards of glass. All but 4 emptied every drop onto the bar and floor. Saison DuPont, Delerium Tremens, Chimay, Hop Devil, 90 Minute and 11 more of their brothers are all dead soldiers in the keg cooler now. The damage to the basement banquet room was no way near as bad as it could have been. After hearing my partners voicemail I was expecting Katrina-esque carnage. Not quite as bad. It smells like a brewery but i like breweries. The moral of this tale is, "There is no way you can expect the dumb shit thats going to eventually happen at and to your restaurant." That and, "Insurance is there for a reason."

Thank god for Insurance because just when you think you have heard and seen it all, someone wonderfully unexpected happens and fucks us in the ass. At least you could drink from the four kegs still on tap while you cleaned up the 20.
