It may be bad for business but it’s a big plus for public safety. This case involved an American Legion post bar. As a WWII veteran I hate to say this, but my experience as a cop taught me that bars belonging to the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars are nothing more than hangouts for a bunch of drunks.

SHELBY, Ohio - An Ohio bartender is now looking for a new job after she was fired for calling the police on a bar patron.
Twyla Devito was bartending at an American Legion Post when she called police after she saw a man leaving drunk. According CNN, Devito said she came into work that day and saw the man, who was a regular at the bar, already hammered.
"He ordered a beer, I gave it to him, and then I started to try to slow it down, serving him," she told CNN.
When he left the bar, she called police. Officers later charged the man with an OVI or Operating a Vehicle Under the Influence, after blowing a .16, which is twice the legal limit.
Two days later, Devito's boss fired her saying that it was bad for the business to have a bartender that would call the cops on customers.
Devito says she stands by her decision.
