haha…first of all i love this! I bartended for 6 years in a college bar. I have seen a lot. and would love to agree with you on all of the above. credit cards are annoying and no one ever tips on them. or they look at you like you a incapable of any mathematical skill and can’t figure out there tab, when you break it down in a crowded bar where lip reading is a huge skill set, you end up screaming at the person. they don’t understand this and even take their change back, including the penny.
they scream at you for giving them change. seriously change. i don’t know where you live but quarters are amazing, they equal laundry, or if you work in a bar dinner on a busy night. peanuts are a god send.
if you work in a bar that doesn’t allow you to drink, your life will turn into hell quickly. When i say no, i mean it. no i can’t drink. yes , there are cameras. it is 2014. a jack shot is not worth my car payment or rent. please excuse my desire to pay by bills regularly.
OMG! please don’t use phrases like YOLO, TOTS, or AMAZ! this makes you sound ridiculous and please excuse the assumption but chances are you are the idiot who orders a drink with milk and very little alcohol. And yes, i do put more milk in it than I should. Milk behind a bar is annoying and messy, and belongs only in establishments where you trust the bar staff to check the expiration date…
Please don’t walk into a college bar and ask for good glass of wine. It’s not going to happen. It’s a COLLEGE bar, we have beer and shots, maybe a descent liquor selection. But chances are the wine comes from a plastic bottle.
Also, don’t ask for a STRONG drink. I know you won’t tip.
Two dollars is cheap.
Ladies, congrats on your voluptuous lady parts. I am sure victoria’s secret will be hunting you down soon! But, seriously, please don’t hand me a wad of cash from your bra. Especially, when it is sweaty. Or your armpit. I don’t want it. I don’t want to touch it, the bank tellers and managers who count the money don’t either. Please do something else with it. And by that I mean don’t put it in your armpits either. GROSS…
Oh and by the way, please don’t assume I am an idiot. If a business is managed correctly, no intelligent manager is going to stick someone without skills behind a bar. A good bartender will make or break a bar. You need to be capable of multi-tasking, memorization skills, have a remotely charming personality, and be capable of making intelligent choices. I don’t want to deal with the idiot frat boy who doesn’t like his craft beer choice that he ordered to be cool. I want you to order and get out of my face. Especially, if you think “hey, what are you doing later?”is going to help you get my number…it’s not.
