It seems a bit rich to me that a guys on this forum think that it's as easy as just not seeing someone or asking them to leave. No one wants confrontation in this business, as you never know how someone may react and as they know where you are working at that point you don't want to rock the boat. In this case she may simply have felt it was better to take the booking and get him out than to ask him to leave unsatisfied. She had no way of knowing that he would come back once he had left.
Some people can be well over the limit and not show it at all. It is easy for us to judge, but until you are in that situation it is best not to make assumptions.
I would agree though that it is best not to take a drunk client if you can help it and hopefully you would be able to detect that on the phone before making a booking, although that is not always the case, as some may drink before getting there for dutch courage.
You have an understanding (that others on this thread don't have) of the effect that alcohol can have on a certain percentage of people.
Happy drunk, angry drunk, mean drunk.
These terms mean something.
Some people if they drink rapidly can be on a hairtrigger, the effect is worse if they start in a bad mood when sober and also if they are naturally aggressive /truculent. And the effect is more likely to happen if drinking rapidly. The person can be speaking clearly and walking perfectly but the rapid drinking is altering their mood, it may not be possible to detect drunkenness on the phone, person arrives at the door and is in but is capable of switching mood in an instant. If the drinking continues a blackout is possible. By definition, what happens during a blackout won't be remembered but it is possible to still be walking, talking and capable of causing damage to someone else. A blackout may be the result of a large intake of drink say half an hour earlier.
Even if not in '' blackout mode''a rapid intake of alcohol can cause a person to be in a vicious /mean mood and be more likely to harm other people. And I repeat, this may not be apparent till the person is through the door.
And alternatively, such a guy may have had the intention to rob/beat from the beginning and any smell of alcohol may only be incidental. IF walking and talking ok, alcohol won't be smelled through a door.
