Two drunk red neck truckers got into a “discussion” with a couple of motor cycle riding “bikers”, and things just escalated faster than I could talk sense to them.
Generally the bar patrons were truckers on their mandatory rest stand down, and if they started to get riled up, or too grabby with the cocktails waitresses, you could point out that there was a small army of security, and if they got involved, a beat down would occur, then the police would come gaffle them up and take them to jail. And, if their rig sat for 24-hours it would get towed. That would be about five hundred in towing fees, and eat most of the day.
Guys driving trucks are generally on pretty tight budgets for both time and money. $500, and a days delay was a serious issue for them, and they would usually go out to their truck to sleep it off.
