New York City bar bans customers who use the word 'literally'
Owner Trigger Smith
Owner Trigger Smith  told Grub Street that the notice has been hanging in the bar for five or six days  but just recently started gaining notoriety.
While  Smith  says the policy is tongue-in-cheek   he  does have a loathing for the word.
âSince  it âs English   it âs probably happening in England  and maybe Australia â  he  tells Grub Street. âI had a woman from Miami the other night tell me itâs happening down there.â
âAnd itâs not just millennials â  he  added. âNow you hear newscasters using âliterallyâ every three minutes on the Sunday news shows. Whatâs annoying is people arenât even aware theyâre saying  it . How could you be so unaware of your words that  it âs coming out every couple minutes?â
 Smith  finds the comments laughable  calling the accusations of sexism to be âeven funnier than the sign.â
 Smith 's feelings about the matter might be best summed up by a sign he says hangs in the bathroom: The customer is always wrong.
