She let an opportunity of a lifetime slip by. This is an event where she could have met potential clients with deep pockets.

Her ego got the best of her. This could’ve been a great opportunity for her and her future

I hate how she tried to turn it into her quitting “because she was uncomfortable” 🙄 the man sounded so professional

She doesn't want to make a drink the way the person who is paying her wants the drink to be made? What the hell kind of bartender is that?

"Didn't matter who was coming. He was telling you what he wanted. It was up to you to deliver for him, but you didn't. Sorry about that. You lose." Doug is a master troller.

I was a bartender for 25 years. Shes full of crap. Does she feel insulted when a customer specifies how to make their drink. My sister always tells a bartender how she wants her gimlet made. As a bartender you just do it! It's called getting better tips!

There’s no way she’s a high end bartender with how unprofessional she was. People ask for specialty drinks all the time. Sounds like she probably only has experience as a restaurant bartender

He has every right to request that the drinks are made a very specific way. She was very wrong for quitting last minute and for blocking him. She’s unprofessional.

I think the job was way over her head. She thought the job was going to be very simple but when she had to make speciality drinks, she had to make up an excuse to quit so she used him micromanaging her as the excuse.

Customer; I'll have three ice cube please. Bartender; What to you think this is? Burger King? You can't have it your way. Get out! I'm uncomfortable.

"I didn't feel comfortable" - over the number of ice cubes? Wow, Karen. smh!

The guy that interviews them at the end always cracks me up 😂. Always adding salt to the loser's wound

I don't think that he was trying to tell her how to make a drink. I think he was just telling her how he wanted the drinks! I think she took it the wrong way.

She’ was rude and unprofessional. Lost a chance of a lifetime. Then turn around and said if you can’t find anyone I’ll come what’s wrong with her🤷‍♀️

Her defense was BOGUS!! lol

I think she probably didn't know how to make the drinks and it got the best of her.

Defendant receives dinner Bill at fancy restaurant and looks at total: “yeah I don’t feel comfortable paying this.” *Gets up and leaves.”

I just think she was intimidated by the way he wanted his drinks . She figured it would be someone way to picky , or someone who actually would be paying close attention to her drinks . She’s probably used to a bunch of house parties where the people really don’t care how good the bartender is . I think she realized that this job would be above her expertise, and just decided she really didn’t want to be managed at all , let alone micromanaged .. it’s almost like a bartender , bartending for another bartender , you know they’re going to judge you extra hard - because they know ..

Clearly she’s never done a high end event before. Lol what he was asking was typical.

Did it really matter that she said he didn’t tell her important people wanted the drink made like that? He is paying her if he wants it made that way that’s what she should deliver.

You don't pull out of a contract just because you don't like the guy! She's unprofessional and too sensitive!

I worked as a bartender for a bit more than a decade. I did regular service at my full time bar gig, and special events in private spaces or other bars… any bartender who stays in the game long enough will have to learn special drink recipes at one point or another. And whatever they say is what you do as long as it is food safe and legal under your liquor license. Even the proper way to serve a Stella Artois (beer) involves very specific directions for how to wash the glass first. Sometimes you’ll even be told which hand you put a drink up with! And you know what? You do it. Because who cares. It’s how they want to present and market their product. I can get on board or get tf out 🤷‍♀️

That’s called “networking” she could have had more business leads.

Good Golly Miss Molly...You might know how to make a drink; but do you know how to make it the way he wants it?! 🤦🏾‍♀️ Damn Ding Dong

The defendant clearly didn't understand who the party was being thrown for (unnamed liquor executives) or allowed her ego to get the best of her. Either way, it didn't show her in a flattering light. If you're a professional-- ask questions if something seems off. She claims she didn't know that it was to promote the particular liquors, instead of taking offense-- why not inquire? This will haunt her forever.

if a real bartender would have no issue in making any drink to order and should love the challenge in doing so

When the judge asks if she got an email from him, she says no... but her head moves yes

It seems to me that she just shrugged off a pretty big opportunity.

She’s smug at the end because she doesn’t have to pay 1500 still not understanding she lost his future business

People are too dammed thin skinned and feelings are so easily hurt now-a-days learn to toughen the hell up especially if you are running a business!!!! 😠💯

I think this "bartender" might know how to serve beer and basic shots at some local dive where the regulars always order the same 5-6 types of easy drinks but real bartending is over her head... Pros don't get all butthurt when told how the drinks needed to be made as per the vodka/ bourbon maker. I guarantee if she had shown up it would have been a disaster because Miss "I Know What I'm Doing" would have screwed up the drinks. And if I'm wrong and she is great at her job, she's still an idiot for passing up a great networking opportunity and some killer tips.

I would’ve been all over an event like that... that’s how opportunities arise for free-lance bartenders. She’s insane!

You deal with people who are drinking and sometimes people get crazy when they drink. So if you easily feel uncomfortable perhaps that’s not the business you should be in.

All she had to do was pay him the $75 and the matter would've been finished.

She is so ridiculous The man just wanted her to do a job. She bailed on him. Im glad he got a bartender to fill her spot.

Man the dude at the end is savage 😂

This was silly on all fronts. Plaintiff tried to turn a $75 case into a $1600 lawsuit. Defendant lost out on a gig plus possible industry referrals over her pride. Just silly.

She is so incredibly unprofessional his event would have been a disaster had she shown up. Sounds like he dodged a bullet!!! Her ego is so out of line!! If you’re ever having a party in that area we all know which bartender not to hire....lol

I think she was 'out of her element' and was intimidated by the challenge.

This was one of those golden opportunities to get contacts and possibly move up in the industry. I mean, all the people she could've met in the liquor biz. Her lack of awareness on the matter is stunning.

Telling you how to do your job? What!?!! What do you mean? He hired you!! 🤦🤦

Douge let that lady have it. I love how perfectly frank his shade is, lol 😂

And...this is why she has no other job.

If she was smart, she could have parlayed this event into many more opportunities for herself and her business if she had some foresight.

Nah it wasn’t her ego, she was just lazy and was thinking it was gonna be a hole-in-the-wall bachelors party where she just fills beer into mugs. There’s no way she would deny such an event just because “I’m better than that”. If she was that confident and believed in herself that much: She would NEVER pass up on a job like that, as a private bartender, could show off her services at a credible tasting like that. WITH MULTIPLE INDUSTRY MAKERS! She was just lazy and probably missed out on the best opportunity in her chosen profession. Good job Karen 👍 👏

Defendant couldn’t handle it ... the work was not a mediocre project and she couldn’t do it

That bartender should be blacklisted throughout the entire bar industry.

Defendant was completely wrong! Plantiff had a specific type of event in which the alcohol was the star and for that the drinks had to be prepared a certain way and she didn't want to do! Her lost she could have gotten all times of opportunities by networking at that event! I don't even drink but have common sense enough to know the drinks/alcohol was the star of this event and as such needed to be prepared a certain way!

If someone hires you to do a job, you always do it the way the customer wants. What's the big deal? They're paying you to be there and do your job as specified.

She just didn’t want to admit that the job was too much for her. If you’re not qualified just say that. She really messed up a great opportunity and he did nothing wrong. I hope every potential employer sees this and thinks twice about hiring her. She’s beyond unprofessional. Why would it matter who requested the drinks a certain way? The person paying you wants the job done a certain way so you do it. Smh

My mom was a bartender for over 20 years. She was always there to accommodate her customers. She was great at what she did. ❤❤❤

Im glad the Plaintiff won. The Defendent probably didnt know how to mix drinks featuring the two liqours and wine... Her defense is Baloney, as Judge Judy wouldve said...lol

When I used to be a wedding DJ, I had the following paragraph in my contracts: In the event the DJ (X) is unable to perform due to illness, accident, equipment failure or otherwise, DJ (X) shall use the best efforts to find a qualified replacement DJ, equipment or to otherwise perform hereunder. If DJ (X) is unable to locate a replacement DJ or replacement equipment, and therefore fails to perform hereunder, the Client shall receive a full refund of any amounts paid (including Retainer) within thirty (30) days after Event Date. The parties agree that refund of its payments made shall be Client's SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE remedy in either law or in equity for DJ (X)'s failure to perform hereunder. This covered my ass in case something happened to me.

She's a fool. She could have gone, done a wonderful job for him, and had him as a contact in that industry (future clients).

She could've networked and made connections....SMH. I'm glad she checked her connotation...so now you felt uncomfortable? Stop it.

The guy at end is brutal lol

The defendant definitely wore her feelings on her sleeves in this case. If you are hired to do a job like this, the person who hires you has every right to be as specific as possible. How he wants his party done, again unfortunately she allowed her ego to get in the way and it costed her.

Sounds like the F($($( Catalina Wine Mixer! I’d love to attend.

Ima watch but ima be back for the comments 😬😭😭

Judge Milian is the best Judge out there, I wish she would have presided over my court case..lol. She is always on point and does not jibber jabber unreasonably like some other Judges on TV. She is just the right amount of everything, Funny, sarcastic, etc...she is awesome.

Omg and now she wants to turn it into a "I don't feel comfortable.... "

Nobody... the guy at the end... you lose 😂😂😂

Who wastes their time suing a bartender for $75? Kinda petty. Obviously she didn't know how to make fancy drinks and got nervous.

This announcer is SHAYYDEEEEEEE 😂 😂 YOU LOSE!!

That man interviewing them outside the courtroom got me rolling lmao. He has no chill lol

Lookin like she just came out of the sleazy dive across the tracks....and was he absolutely sure she was a bartender ? Bc she look and act like a customer....one of those who can't wait for them to open up at 11 am, so she had to run and buy a beer at the corner store so she's in the parking lot guzzling that down. And then she closes the place down at last call as well.

“You Lose!” 💀😂🤣😭 lol I can’t with Doug. Why is he so naturally shady 😂

Sorry about that you lose 🤣😆😂 love Doug

Dude works for a liquor company and can't find a replacement bartender? I call BS. He's a nut and, well, so is she.

Sounds like she's a proficient liquor pourer who works parties as opposed to a Cocktailer who works moreso with brands and special events.

Daaaamn Karen. Not every bartending job has the same expectations. She probably missed a huge opportunity right there! Bye bye Karen. Go back to your own bar😂😂😂

Signature cocktails are everywhere! Weddings, brunch, restaurants. All he wanted was a signature cocktail. What kind of bartender doesn't understand that?

“I didn’t feel comfortable” - Entitlement

Defendant said "I didn't feel comfortable" because she realized her real reason wouldn't hold up legally, so she played the sex card.

Sounds a lot like the defendant only wants to work for events where she can be the center of attention and show off her bartending "skills" to the attendees. In this case, she would have just been a faceless worker following orders, and she didn't like that. That's more likely why she quit. The plaintiff may have aimed high in what he sued for, but still got what he knew he deserved, so he was satisfied with the judgement. He had all his paperwork prepared and ready, as a good businessperson should. He knew the law regarding contracts and Judge Milian had no choice but to side with him from the get-go.

Omgosh the plaintiffs face after the judge said “he’s not a rapist!” He def did look like a creep in that moment lmaooooo😂😂😂

"Sorry about that you lose" sooo shady

the defendant is @ least 50, so why pretend you were uncomfortable. i work in the food industry an i have disagreements w/ the servers all the time. when they're stressed they're snippy an short, but we always work it out after the shift. ppl need to stop bein so damn sensitive. 🙄🙄🙄

I just want to know how to get invited to one of these parties. They sound fun!

Ego got in the way of a major networking opportunity... How simple would it have been to just make the drinks as he requested?!? Once they're drunk they wouldn't know the difference anyway and the tips would've been freeflowing 😩

Although the defendant was unprofessional by quitting within 36 hours. Can’t believe the plaintiff actually took her to court over $75. He has too much time! Lol

Some people just don't like being told what to do. Thin skin

Great case for my bday,keeps me grounded and reminds me not to have egos like these two😂😂😂😂😂 Have a most awesome 26th of March everyone❤️❤️

I agree with the defendant. All jobs are not created equal. There are some people who are very difficult to please. It’s like a hiring a person to mow your lawn. After reaching an agreement, they start asking for more... the lawn should be mowed at a certain angle or the lawn must be cut with push lawn mower, not a riding lawnmower. She wasn’t professional, but I certainly understand. Pouring a glass of wine is different than mixing certain drinks with 3 special ice cubes, in a specific glass, chilled, using a specific sized lemon etc.

I’m too early 🙄! I’ll be back when the comments start getting spicy

She’s egotistical...$150 for 4 hours of work where you have no confusion on what it is you’re supposed to do. That’s easy money!!

Love Doug! Throws shade with a smile😅😬

Gosh, I’ve watched this case a couple times now and Judge Millian just hits every nail right on the head. Great judgment!

Ol dude that be doing the interview at the end FUNNY ASL

The Karen Defense “I didn’t feel comfortable”

This lady is crazy. I would have appreciated that amount of detail and instructions for something like that. Sounds like a no brainer to me.

She feel stupid!! He definitely told people about her and now this publicized case. She blocked herself from potential clients and future endeavors

Customers have the right to request anything within reason. I used to do commercial art on the side, my entire side business DEPENDED on people telling me exactly what they wanted so I could create the product they wanted. That's how it works.

Both are prudes but it’s funny how she tried to vaguely hid behind “I didn’t feel comfortable BS”!

This is just like you're hiring a professional carpenter and she's insulted because you're telling her how you want your job done .. Wow

Judge Milian is the best! Throws it back in her face: "I don't feel comfortable" Ha Ha! "You're a grown woman" Nailed it!!!

15:59 "Sorry about that, You Loose" Doug is a savage sometimes

I thought plaintiff was very through with his detailed email of how he wanted the drinks made. More ppl should do that in a contract case, that way no party can say they didnt get/give the proper service.

She needed to "readjust her attitude " not "readjust her contract." Or both. Really dumb on her part. She let a great opportunity pass her by.

She figure there would not be any chance for her to flirt and gulp a shot of rum ,while been shower with easy tips at this party😂
