Did for about 6 years.

Worst business experience I EVER had.

1st manager got killed by an Amtrack train the day before we were supposed to open.

2nd manager stole a week's receipts from me by opening a parallel business account and sending me phony deposit receipts. He spent a day in jail, just long enough to convince him to pay us back. Still took 3 years to get all the money.

3rd manager thought that BJs were an obligatory part of employment for the women who worked for him. He also tended to take interesting polaroids, which I found one Saturday morning ON THE BAR, when I went in to check the Friday night receipts.

Had a cook who drank, a lot, but managed to keep it together until he fell out the front door and broke his leg one night.

Found coke on the toilet tank top on more occasions than I can remember.

Fired all my bartenders one weekend after I put a spotter in the bar who caught them ALL stealing receipts.

Was paying the bills and saw 20lbs of Roast Beef on a provision bill. I figured "GREAT, hot roast beef sandwiches for tonight's special." Went to the bar that night and ordered one. The waitress said, "We don't have that on the menu tonight Dave." I went in the kitchen, and found out the day cook had ordered it for a party HE WAS THROWING at his house that evening. Worst part? None of us were invited!!! and he sure as hell wasn't gonna pay me back for it.

Had the owner of the business next door sneak in an underage employee of his, get him drunk, load him in his car and send him home. Would have been fine except for the little old lady he rear-ended on the way home. They found him, and his car, down a 50 foot embankment. PLCB loved that one, cost me $10K.

I could go on and on. Let's just say that owning a bar made me quit drinking. Haven't touched a drop since.

Dave, Thanks for the reality check. My wife keeps saying we should open a bar. I am going to let her read this. Should end the discussion.

Bring her to cars and coffee. Twenty minutes talking with me will settle it forever.

I don't think your wife could handle a 20min. conversation with you and you're asking someone else's to take that bullet?

Chris - not in Delaware but will be wearing a flak jacket this Saturday....
