Where was the GM during all of this? If this guy is starting static in the dining room within earshot of customers, I'm yanking him off the floor immediately if I'm in charge.

just gonna throw this out there:
on the next shift you two work together, take him aside before service and apologize for saying anything that might have upset him, or set him off. let him know that you're new and trying to learn the ropes, and hope that in the future there are no more issues.
and yes, you may not feel the need to apologize. in fact, i can understand where you might think that's the last thing you should be doing with this guy. but this is a short-term situation, i.e. this is not your "forever job", and by extending an olive branch you've at least taken the mature route and attempted to squash any beef (as the cool kids are fond of saying?) while you're employed at this establishment. and now the ball is in his court. if he continues to act like an a$$ as you've described, then you know his character and personality won't change. oh well.
and one more thing: don't go around bad-mouthing this guy behind his back to your co-workers. i understand the need to vent, but doing it where you work rarely leads to positive outcomes. vent here instead. keep your rep clean at work.

Good. No need to air the incident there. Just keep it between the two of you. Unless you decide to go to mgmt with a complaint. And like others have mentioned: you'll want to have specific and precise documentation for that process.

Alcoholism and bi-polar disorder frequently occur in tandem. The former makes the latter more difficult to treat. You should be pursuing professional help, man. It would be easy for me to sit here and swap beer stories with you, but I'm shooting you straight.

I went to shrinks for like 10 years man. They didn't help. Couldn't even get a prescription for my ADD
Just got back home. My plan was to pick up 3 tall boys and two whoppers. Got to BK but the guy in front of me was taking 3 minutes to order and/or the drive through guy had trouble. I backed out and drove away.
Bpught two large Miller high life cans and got a quesadilla from El Pollo Loco to absorb the alcohol. I didn't buy cigarettes so I think overall it was a win.

In all seriousness, that doesn't matter. You should not be driving ANY distance under these circumstances. You are risking more than your own life.
ETA...If it is that close, why not just walk?

stay golden, pony boy.I'm a terrible person. I have felt this way over much of my life and all signs point to "yes".
The FFA is important to me. I've heard many scenarios...
A Crutch.....An Enabler Zone....the wrong place to be.
It is none of them. It's all one day that I dictate. For better or worse.

I'm going to give you honest advice, even though, I'm convinced this is a schtick account. You seem to have 2 modes of interacting with people to get their attention. 1) you are the most lowly, helpless person in the world, who just doesn't get why everyone wants to avoid interacting with him and everything goes sideways. 2) you know everything, you're smarter than everyone and they just don't really understand how great your decision-making actually is, when you're doing things that are blatantly self-destructive. Seems like once you've sucked everyone in with the poor me, pity party, you get all full of yourself and want to start impressing everyone with how fantastic your life is.
Stop trying so damn hard, and just be yourself. Honestly, brother, I wish you the best. I don't like to see people hurting, but you seem to crave living this cycle over and over and over. Stop it.

schtick or not, i think evilgrin hit the nail on the head in his earlier post. im not a professional,but it reads like bi-polar disorder with the highest highs and the lowest lows.
if real, hopefully professional help is pursued.
I'm sorry my 10-15 minutes is an hour.
i don't agree with #1 or #2. Combined I may be at most 85% in agreement one day.
I was feeling vulnerable in act 3 and almost agreed with you. Then I read it again. I don't entertain this kind of person. Good luck with your notions.
I'm in awe of the effort and calculation.
Dont waste it on me. I'm a all around holic/screwup. At best I may think differently one day here and there but some others may take it differently.
<----Complete waste of time
Its probably time to shut this thread down.

I don't believe it's wasted on you. You're smart and talented, you just have some problems. Nearly everyone does.
I know a lot of psychologists in my personal life. Some are brilliant, others I wouldn't trust to calculate the tip on a $20 check. You may simply have not found the right one yet.
Keep trying. I won't throw in the towel if you won't.

Skip the drunken driving part. RnR contemplates selling plasma to make rent payment, but nightly he's buying 3,6,9..... tall boys, packs of smokes and some weed. Pretty sure rent payment wouldn't be a problem if we control our wasted spending habits.

You can either work on getting a full-time job that offers insurance or there are counselors you can go see for free. I know people who have availed themselves of such services. It will likely be hit-or-miss as in any service industry - there are those that are highly skilled and those who suck.
It's easy to find excuses not to do something. If you're happy dealing with your demons on your own and drinking yourself into oblivion, I'd say go for it. However, I think this thread and your recent posts suggest otherwise. Help is out there, you just have to seize it.

Honestly the thread reads like a reflection of society at large. Perhaps an extreme case but the poor, short term decision making, the need for attention, the variance between being overly intelligent in theory vs being really stupid in reality, the problems with the ghetto dude, the "ability" to drive but not walk the length of a football field, the desire to take care of a kid who isn't his... RnR is this generation's Forest Gump.
