Fine. So let us formalise this by saying some Deity/Near-Deity/Pizza Delivery boy drops in delivers a device which stuffs up the time line and promptly departs again... everyone scratches their heads a while and then forgets about it. Result: Some people can be seen in multiple places! Conducting discusions from their past and/or future! Outside time has little to do with in side time... one patron walks in and the outside is sunny... the next straight after and it is night time... Some events, despite being global events, are simply never Seen by some poeple... they simply haven't seen it yet, despite the fact that it has already happened. Some events, despite being amazingly mind blowing simply pass portions of the bar by without them ever noticing. The bar has been badly disorted... there are now 18 seperate corners! And they are all right angles! The wine cellar is n-dimensional and self restocking... strange that :) OK, I know all this would happen anyway, but I find it mildly disconcerting that there is no explanation for it.... So if there are no objections a Pizza Delivery Van will drive up and... Because it's all magic!!! No need for explanations... Beside, verybody get quickly used to it... SunStorm.
