One individual in a group of young revelers did not have a proper ID, in the opinion of the bartender. The details are of no matter. A bartender in Maryland has the absolute right to deny service to anyone.

The bartender was absolutely correct, and absolutely did the correct thing when given questionable identification.

What did those young people in the group then do? Gave the bartender a very difficult time.

Later, one of them went to a Facebook page operated by a local newspaper. The individual made an anonymous post blasting the bartender, decrying "terrible" service at the Yacht Club, and called the bartender "an old SOUR PUSS who hates her job and life." No one deserves that.

This is, unfortunately, too often the face of Facebook. 

To be fair, some came to the bartender's defense. One individual wrote: "It's common practice not to accept vertical or paper ID. I wouldn't have served them either. It's not just a bartender being rude. It's law and it's how you get trained in OC. Too many cadets looking to bust bartenders and servers."

Even so, those personal attacks will remain online, along with an image of the bartender the Facebook nitwit posted to Facebook. Again, no one deserves such malicious treatment.

All part of the Facebook cesspool.
