So that litteraly happened about 20 minutes ago and im dying from embarassement.
I've been a bar manager for years and usually work on weekends but tonight i had a night off, and a very long day so i figured id go and have a drink.
So I'm sitting at the bar of this small local restaurant enjoying my drink and i see that guy, who probably had a couple too many drink, just very confidently walk straight behind the bar and goes to grab a bottle.
honestly i didnt even think, it just came naturally so i just said something like "Hey, where do you think you're going? Just sit down someone will be with you shortly"
yep turns out its the owner and theyre celebrating a birthday ( or his birthday im not sure)
fortunately for me, he laughed it out and offered me a drink. Even thanked me for keeping an eye on his bar and now everytime i hear them laugh at that table i assume theyre laughing at me lol
TL;DR TIFU telling the owner of a restaurant to sit down and wait for an employee to give him service.
