** For the bar owners, a major berserk button seems to be the idea of changing the bar's name for any reason. Most will change it right back immediately after Taffer leaves. For example:
*** The owner of Canyon Inn in Loma Linda, California, couldn't stand the idea of changing the name of his bar, even though Taffer and at least one customer told him that "Inn" is an archaic term for a tavern and that the modern use of the word causes people to think it's a hotel. They have actually received calls from people asking what their nightly rates were. Taffer changes it to "Canyon Saloon" but the owner changed it back to "Canyon Inn" after a month. The fact that the "Inn" hasn't been able to keep up the volume of business that it had on re-opening night suggests that perhaps some of Taffer's other changes haven't been kept, either.
*** Tim from The Brixton was so adamantly against changing the bar's name that when Taffer instructed him to paint over the sign on the side of the building, he painted a big middle finger over the O. He changed the name back almost immediately after the cameras stopped, but he still embraced Taffer's lessons.
*** In the most notorious example, the staff of Piratz Tavern not only changed the name back but went back to the original décor ''before the episode even aired''. They even went to the trouble of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSPkbJohdyo burning Taffer's décor.]]
*** Taffer was so adamant about the owner not reverting the name to "Underground Wonder Bar" that he forced her to sign a contract preventing her from doing so. Which she broke.

*** Accusing him or the show of executive interference on-air.
*** Do not fail to show up for training, or waste the time of Taffer or his experts. If you do, you will be deemed the weakest link at the bar, and start having them push for you to be fired, or hammering on you to drive you to quit.
*** Punching bag machines due to them being a huge legal liability. Taffer lost a lawsuit involving them so if he sees one, he will demand that the owner get rid of it.
*** Wearing sunglasses as he feels it makes you offputting to the guests. That being said, if there's a good reason (one owner had to wear sunglasses because he suffered vision damage while serving in the military) he'll cut them some slack.
*** Cross-contaminating a kitchen with raw meat. If the cameras catch a cook doing it he will quickly confront them.
*** Recent episodes have Taffer driven to insanity when male bar owners/managers [[ManlyTears cry over their failures]]. Taffer has gone as far as to mock the manager's sobbing in "Fish Out of Blue Water", and he outright calls the owner of RJ'S Replay a "mama's boy".
*** Posing a risk to someone's health by getting them sick via contaminated food and drinks. As he says:
---->"Look, I know bar ownership can be a dirty business, but when owners slack on sanitation they risk getting people sick, and ''nothing'' makes me angrier than when a lazy operator puts customers in danger."
