The decision of the administrative court did not fail to make the Rouen bar owners react. This month-long closure, “It’s the ultimate threat”, explains Claire Mertz, manager of Berthom, a beer bar located on Place de la Pucelle. For the rest, she points out that in the franchise, employees are made aware of this issue.
Tips for continuing to drink
“The policy at Berthom is to monitor the alcohol intake of customers”. ” But it’s not always easy, recognizes this owner of a bar on the quays. When a client arrives, we don’t know if he has been drinking before, if he is taking medication, how he reacts to alcohol…” “It’s easier when it comes to regulars”, points out this other owner of a neighborhood bar.
Professionals also point to the “tricks” that some customers use to continue drinking. “Even if I stop serving one, another member of his group can order for him,” assures this downtown bartender.
Philippe Coudy, president of the Umih 76 union “takes note of the decision” but believes that there will necessarily be a sequel. “
I think we have to go further than a summary release because it is a real subject for our entire profession. » The representative of cafe owners and hotel and catering trades concludes: “we must all work, and we do, in our professions, to better educate people about reasonable alcohol consumption”.
