Wasn't there a barmaid that got stabbed because she was forced outside for a cigarette break?

Yes.

One of the biggest problems my friends who own bars in Delaware are having is dealing with security issues for the patrons and employees who have to go outside. So many people have this bucolic idea about Delaware, but the fact is that the downtown areas of Dover, Newark, and Wilmington are just as bad, and in some cases worse, than major metro areas in terms of violence and crime.

No one could pay me enough to go to a bar that didn't have outside service or was obeying the law in Delaware anymore.

Thank goodness I live in a civilized place and no longer in Delaware.

Another problem they are having is dealing with unseen alcohol consumption...........they have no idea how much alcohol folks are drinking out in the parking lot in their cars when they go out for a ciagrette.

Actually, netsmilsmom, I believe the young lady was RAPED while outside. She may have also been stabbed; I don't remember.
