Anyone who has worked in the service industry knows the saying, "The customer is always right." Whether the job is in retail or food service, part of the description usually entails being friendly. However, offering a smile with service is never an invitation for harassment, and Beer Cellar bar in the U.K. is standing behind female bartenders with a sign that tells men who may take good service as a sign of something more they're absolutely wrong.

The bar's own Twitter account posted an image of a sign they recently put up, and the tweet has since gone viral — currently, it has nearly 50,000 likes and over 20,000 retweets. The sign is a pie chart, the heading of which says, "Why The Female Cashier Is Being Nice To You." The white space in the pie represents the time her niceness is because "she is uncontrollably attracted to you," while the black space in the pie represents the times her demeanor is "literally her fucking job, you cretin." Anyone care to guess how much of the pie is shaded black? That's right — the whole thing. The tweet accompanying the image says, "This is definitely our favourite sign in the bar. Also if dudes could stop trying to kiss our female bartender's [sic] hands that would be great."
The fact that this kind of sign is even necessary — that men feel entitled to touch any part of women's bodies, just because they're providing a service and being nice at the same time — is a sad statement about society, but we're glad that at least one bar is willing to stand up for their female bartenders. Next step: mass-producing these signs and getting them in every establishment that serves alcohol.
