The only problem here is that a passenger saw it.
It even happens are fancy bars in hotels. Well, I've only seen it in person at the Grand Hyatt T______ a few years ago. I was chatting with a hooker at the bar(sorry, a sex worker) to amuse myself. The bartender was at the far end and was busy pouring Absolut back into the bottle. I told him "isn't that against health code or something?" and he just said "oh, no, I'm not allowed to dump them into the sink..." (what a bunch of BS, because I later I saw him flip the bottle upside down into the dispenser)
