A bartender has revealed a subtle but potentially live-saving way you can ask a member of staff for help if you're in a position where you feel like you could be in danger. Watch him explain below:
TikTok user Benji Spears (@Benjispears) shared the code word, which has a few variations, and explained it will alert bartenders to what's going on or, more specifically, what you want them to do.
Benji, who works as a bartender in Los Angeles, re-enacted a time when someone might use the code and specifically pointed out a woman on a date looking uncomfortable.
He goes over to make sure the pair are OK and the woman orders an 'angel shot' then adds that she wants it 'with lime'.
Benji then shouts over to a manager and tells him that they are going to do angel shots with lime, focusing on the lime a few times. Turns out that it's because the lime part is telling the member of staff to call the police.
All of the variations are:
- An angel shot with lime - get the police
- An angel shot neat - a bartender or member of security needs to walk you to your car
- An angel shot on the rocks - you need a member of staff to call you an Uber or taxi
