A request—nay, demand—for all bars to have undercounter hooks
Picture this: It’s a Friday night and you’re sidling up to one of your favorite bars—or a new one you’ve been dying to check out. You grab a seat, rest your jacket on your chair, and go to hang your purse underneath the bar, only to sadly discover there are no bar hooks.
A first-world problem for sure, but it’s been known to ruin an evening out (the girlies can testify I’m not just being dramatic). The rest of the night is notoriously spent getting up, bending over and picking up my purse from the ground after it repeatedly falls from the back of the chair. Even worse is when I’m so fed up I’m forced to just keep it on my lap—and in the iconic words of the Grinch, this I loathe entirely.
Here I am spending my hard-earned cash to come to an establishment that doesn’t have the decency to put a couple of hooks underneath the bar. I mean, honestly, how hard—or expensive—is that to do?! Give me a couple of screws and I’ll do it myself.
And don’t come at me with the excuse that they’re not “aesthetically pleasing” because I’ve seen some attractive bar hooks in my day. Also, relegating patrons to balance a bag on their knee (iykyk) or—god forbid—set it on the ground has got to be bad for brand image. NTM it’s so much easier for thieves to swat my goods.
There’s so much females get robbed of, this is literally the least bars/restaurants could do. It’s really all about the little things, and I can almost guarantee it’ll earn major bonus points. We’re not asking for much!
