"If they need a ride home, we'll pick up the tab for the cab," said Bassick.
Wednesday night through Saturday between 9 p.m. and 1 a.m., Shortstop has made arrangements with a local cab company to provide rides home within a 2 mile radius, with the passenger only needing to tip the driver.
"If the ride is over 2 miles, you're not out of luck, you'll just need to pay the difference," Bassick said.
