In Southwest Florida, including in the cities of Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, Naples, and Punta Gorda, a lot of bartenders and waitresses hug their customers, most commonly when they're leaving for the evening. Regular customers are the most commonly hugged. And hugging happens at many numerous restaurants and bars throughout Southwest Florida.
A lot of bartenders and servers at numerous bars and restaurants in Southwest Florida also take pictures with most patrons, especially regulars. Selfies are also very common as well. The most common time span for pictures and selfies at Southwest Florida bars and restaurants is the slow season, most specifically the months of May, June, July, August, September, October, and the first half of November.
Unfortunately, one place in Southwest Florida where you will never see bartenders and servers hugging their customers at all, nor will you ever see bartenders and servers taking pictures and selfies with regular customers at all, including during the slow season, is the Miller's Ale House on Colonial Blvd and Metro Parkway in Fort Myers. As it appears, hugging was banned there by the management around March 2020 during the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, same with taking pictures and selfies, and neither of the bans have ever been lifted. It's the management's rules and regulations as of 2020, and they clearly don't care that the Covid-19 pandemic is over. Numerous servers and bartenders have been fired from that Miller's Ale House for hugging their regulars and taking pictures and selfies with regulars since both bans were enacted in 2020, and both bans show no sign of ever being lifted, not even before the year 2075.
Management like that which just bans all hugging at any bar or restaurant, especially in a southern state like Florida, has no right to be in Florida, especially now with the Covid-19 pandemic long gone and over mostly due to the widespread vaccinations and immunizations of people against the virus. Any bar or restaurant management that decides to permanently ban all hugging and all pictures and selfies, at any bar or at any restaurant, really in fact belongs in DuPage County, Illinois, at a bar or restaurant in Glen Ellyn, Downers Grove, Naperville, or Bloomingdale, where nobody ever hugs at all or even socializes or makes friends. Or even better yet, such management belongs in Saudi Arabia, where people actually in fact get arrested and thrown in jail for hugging at a bar or restaurant. In Saudi Arabia, getting fired as a server or getting told to leave a restaurant for hugging is the very least of your worries. There is news of a woman that hugged a guy in Saudi Arabia and got sentenced to 2 years in prison and fined 100,000 Saudi riyals, all for hugging and for public display of affection. Taking pictures, including at bars and restaurants, is also completely illegal in Saudi Arabia and can in fact get a person arrested and charged with espionage in most cases.
