Drunk people were a hassle. If Heath hadn't run a restaurant, his usual approach to drunk people would have been to give them a wide berth and stay out of their way. After all, nobody knew what was going through a drunk person's muddled head. Sometimes, just looking at them or arguing for a moment could make them see red. There were even people who pulled knives outright, and similar incidents had made the news before. Anyone who lived near bars and karaoke joints would know that trouble tended to break out much more often in those two places than elsewhere.
Why? Because those places served alcohol, and once people drank, the leash holding back their animal instincts slackened considerably, making them more likely to do things without thinking. Two people might both know when sober that fighting was a bad idea-win and you went to jail, lose and you went to the hospital-but under the influence of alcohol, people were simply prone to doing irrational things.
There were people who got into fights and even landed themselves in prison or on the execution ground. That was why Heath always drank in moderation and stopped when he was close to getting drunk. He didn't want to cause trouble for anyone else.
When Heath served customers who particularly enjoyed drinking, he would also stay alert to prevent them from causing trouble. So if someone wanted to be both the owner and the chef, working out was essential. Ideally, they should also learn some self-defense-something practical rather than bogus. Only then could they barely ensure the restaurant's safety.
Why barely? Naturally, because customers causing trouble might grab a knife or a beer bottle. Beer bottles weren't like in the movies, where smashing one over someone's head only caused a minor injury. Getting
