Philly Scrapper, here’s one scenario I can think of:

Bartender has a customer drinking Top Shelf all night and kills a bottle, paying Top Shelf price.

At the end of the night, when nobody’s looking, Bartender dumps a bottle of Rotgut into the Top Shelf bottle and pockets the difference.

As far as the Bar is concerned, Bartender sold a bottle of Rotgut and the correct amount was put in the register.

Bartender walks with extra cash, Management has no idea and Customer get’s called a snob on this board for ordering Top Shelf.

Why would an employee water down the liquor? or switch it with another kind? That would only benefit the cash register, or the bartendar by putting less money in the drawer and into their tip cup? Has there been any closure to this?

Oscars is not the only guilty one. Continental on 18th is sadly repeating the same. I ordered a Jack Daniels.. (JD has a distinct taste.) It was the same watered down crap. Same thing happened at Manayunk Brewery and Restaurant!

If you want a real drink that is not substituted I recommend Franklin Mortgage & Investment Co.
You get what you pay for!

Was brought in to audit a hotel bar acquired thru an acquisition to ascertain why the certified numbers were off post sale. It took 3 days, and a comparision of pictures to observe that the staff had placed another register on the bar and were pocketing everytihng going into that register. Anything is possible….

This whole slew of comments just proves to me that people MAKE UP their own set of ethics to suit their own horrible personal agendas. You think someone doesn’t tip enough so you become a THIEF to pay them back. So they’re cheap, but you’re a thief. Which is worse??? And Bobby Drinks saying “contamination” could be a fruit fly! God! you’re so very very stupid, BD! It’s a scientific report – they use scientific language. What they’re saying is that the test profile doesn’t match the control (Maker’s Mark) profile. A fruit fly suspended in the alcohol wouldn’t change the profile. Do you think the crime lab is full of idiots??

@Petrie: I don’t see the distinction. At the end of the day, an establishment is responsible for its business, and its employees are definitely part of its business. If their employees are stealing from them and making them look bad, they have a responsibility to either correct the problem or pay the consequences. If you’re right, then they didn’t correct the problem, and a fine or other PLCB punishment is proper.
