TIL in 2010 Bill Murray & members of the Wu-Tang Clan were hanging out at SXSW when they entered the packed Shangri-La bar together, whereupon Murray spontaneously decided to hop over the bar & become a surprise temporary bartender who served generous tequila shots regardless of what patrons ordered

Imagine if you were the designated driver at this bar and you wanted a non-alcoholic drink, and some asshole who was pretending to be a bartender gave you tequila. Doesn't matter that he's a celebrity, I'd be pissed.

Imagine you're the bartender, and now your boss is going to be pissed the your stock is fucked up.

You guys have clearly never been to sxsw. It used to be filled with stunts like this. Bar owners knew it and rolled with it.
