Cigarette Gestapo in Force in Greenville
Two Greenville police officers let Dixie’s Tavern off with a warning after finding about five patrons smoking on the patio, according to an incident report released Monday by the Greenville Police Department.
Mike Farmer, a manager, said that after police found no one smoking inside the building, he asked officers about what was allowed on the patio. When officers checked, they found some patrons smoking and said it wasn’t allowed, he said.
Farmer said he asked the patrons to move to the parking lot and no longer allows smoking on the patio. Patrons can continue to smoke in the parking lot, Farmer said.
So you can’t smoke on an outside patio either?
I think every bar and restaurant owner in the city should get together and arrange a certain time and a certain night and everyone just light up across the city. Let’s see if they can fine them all.
