Max Gutierrez, a bartender in St. Petersburg, Florida, was reunited with a woman whom he saved from a patron that would not stop bothering her and a friend while they were out having a drink.
Gutierrez passed Trinity Allie a note disguised as a receipt after Allie and her friend were being persistently pestered by a fellow customer.
The note below went viral about two weeks ago.

The frequency of people being harassed In public without any assistance is far too high. Anyone who has felt in physical danger from another patron knows it's not often someone steps up to their aid.
On behalf of those people, Mr. Gutierrez, we salute you.
