Men vs. Women Bathrooms, Rapper Divas & Karen Freakouts
Ian Bick—yes, Leticia’s boyfriend and host of Locked In—pulls up a chair on Sips & Secrets to spill hilarious and painfully real stories from the service industry. From the never-ending women vs. men bathroom debate, Karens clogging the deli line, and customers pranking staff, to the most embarrassing on-shift moments, rap stars acting like divas, getting banned from hotels, and the truth behind watering down drinks, this episode is pure behind-the-bar chaos. If you love restaurant confessions, bartender/servers’ war stories, and unfiltered hospitality life, you’re in the right place.
