A My Word column on Thursday’s opinion pages about an encounter between a bartender and a female customer who turned out to be a “bar spy” was fictionalized.

Havel of Winter Park, said after publication that he intended it as a satirical response to an April 4 news article about bar spotters, who are hired to detect uncover theft and other problems at bars.
