"What's the one drink you don't drink alone?" "Shots" Heh, unless you're an alcoholic.

Taxed Out in Texas Jon visits a struggling biker bar owned by a former tax accountant.

Oh, ya know that one's gotta be a train wreck if a tax accountant can't keep it level

Oh god, that's hilarious.
|

The name doesn't go with that photo at all. Why would someone who want's to go to a bar named O Face want to go to a bar like that? "Honey, look. I found a nice friendly bar called O-Face! You know, like 'Oh, your face!'"

The front page has a google map thing on it, you click that and you end up with a street view of the place... I don't think the show mentioned that it's across the street from a railway switching yard.

Jon and Russell got lost on the way to the bar. This is going to be something.

Who buys a cocktail in a loving biker bar anyway? I don't get this show's obsession with mixed drinks; it seems like I almost never see people having them when I'm out.

FrozenVent posted:Who buys a cocktail in a loving biker bar anyway? It's because mix drinks make a bar by far the most money. So putting on something slightly interesting that might make people say "hey, now that sounds good" is worth it even if they don't sell a tenth of the beer they go through.

Jon Taggerfeet's got his work cut out for him.

What happened to the relationships show Jon was filming a while back?

FrozenVent posted:Who buys a cocktail in a loving biker bar anyway? It's a matter of bigger profits. Beer bars are more common probably, but aren't going to make as much. Also a matter of attracting more women.

One of the things I've learned watching this show is you don't make anywhere near as much with beer than mixed drinks, which in of itself because an issue if your bartenders over pour all the time.

Comcast found out I had 200+ channels for the local/government only channels plan I was paying for after 2 and a half years finally so I can't watch live. Funny though the streaming services on the website/phone/xbox locked for a day but now it's all open again so I can watch it on that tomorrow.

Yeah, it's true. The bar actually still makes a profit even with those large over pours on the alcohol and other ingredients themselves at the base... But the whole point when they bring it up on the show is if they DIDN'T over pour so much that would yield even more profit to get them out of the red.

I don't get it, she stole a sweatshirt? Did they just have it laying on the bar?

FrozenVent posted:I don't get it, she stole a sweatshirt? Did they just have it laying on the bar? Yea neither do I. Randy mentioned he was getting overcharged for drinks by her, which would make more sense than the sweatshirt?

Accusations of theft on this show have always been sort of overblown in my opinion. Obviously it's a big issue, but I mean, it's usually a matter of overpouring, which is more about ignorance than maliciousness. Couple that with the somewhat random nature of firings vs. forgiveness from bar to bar, and it gets a tad depressing.

They claimed in the intro that waitresses would "pad your check" and then yell at you if you questioned it. So either overcharging or adding on a bigger tip. Edit: Daaaamn, what an action shot of the tin falling on the drink. OmegaBR fucked around with this message at 01:38 on Apr 14, 2014 |

Sometimes, this show should be called Bar Arson. Like, they take the employees on a vacation, Extreme Home Makeover style, and when they come back from vacation, their bar is burned to the ground, while Taffer stands in the ashes, laughing.

If there was ever an episode of Bar Arson, it would have been O Face.

Vintimus Prime posted:Yea neither do I. Randy mentioned he was getting overcharged for drinks by her, which would make more sense than the sweatshirt? Yeah, that was really weird that they made such a big deal over a loving sweatshirt. You'd think that was the kind of thing they would just give to the employees. I wouldn't be surprised if that was either a) just for the cameras because the owner had to find his balls and all, and she was back after filming, or b) one of those cases where she would've been given another chance if he weren't too much of a pussy to stand up for his employees.

The people at the O' Face were some of the worst human beings I've ever seen on TV. Yikes.

This is an interesting one, given that they don't seem to be in financial disarray (the bartenders are, but the bar itself is not).

Just as I was saying that woman needed a brassiere they flash those exotic dancer photos. Yikes.

Free drinks on Taggerfeet! I think the Jimmy/Monique stuff was probably craftfully edited, but still effective.

The show really missed out on not playing LMAFO's "Shots" just now. I really like the bartenders here. They're nice.
