Wake of Shame

How do you react when someone’s asleep in a bar? Obviously it’s an embarrassment to them but you’ve also got to consider their safety? Are they having a nap? Are they resting their eyes? Or is there something generally wrong? If they’ve overdone it, then perhaps it’s best to move them along; especially if they’re on their own and they’re not known, and they’re in a prominent place. After all, you’ve got a reputation to consider. You don’t want to be seen to attract and serve irresponsible drunks or deter future customers. And the last thing that you want is a body on your hands. But how will they handle it? Will they leave without a fuss in embarrassment? Will they finish their drink and be brought back to the living after a chat? Or will they create conflict; annoyed at being disturbed and face the walk of shame to leave?
