I wouldn't bother them if they were working, but I'd usually sit at the bar and chat with them when things were slow. Often I'd be there late at night, and would help bring inside the patio furniture, or bounce a few rowdies for them. Many like to have a few drinks after the doors close, and often I'd walk them to their cars or give them a lift home.

But I think they knew me well enough to know I wasn't about to get involved in anything long term or meaningful. (Just a good looking, kind hearted scoundrel).
