A glass thrown at Juneau bartender David Elrod's head may be part of a broader trend in harassment toward service workers.
David Elrod is a software engineer, but several nights a week you’ll find him at the Crystal Saloon in Juneau, where he enjoys fixing the vintage pinball machines in the upstairs game room.
When asked to use one that wasn’t already occupied, the men got angry. Elrod told them to leave and turned around to grab their IDs.What happened to Elrod may be in harassment toward service workers that may have started early in the pandemic. Elrod grew up in Juneau but has lived out of town since high school. He moved back to Juneau from San Francisco last year. He worked in bars there too.
Morgan Gaither has been bartending for more than a decade – a lot of that time in Juneau. She works at Squirez in Auke Bay and manages the Alaskan Hotel and Bar. These days, Gaither said, people don’t seem to be as afraid of consequences as they were a few years ago.
