Some additional peeves
from our fellow bartenders...
*Takes to long to get a drink you say? Well a
contributing factor to that is you just waited
in line for 10 minutes (looking at a wall of bottles)
and when you got to the bar you look at me and
say "um, I'm not sure what I should order...."
There is only one way to deal with this and that's
to shout out the word NEXT!!
- Adam, BC Canada
* Uneducated drinkers. If you don't know how
to drink, learn. Your bartender is not your guru.
Pick up a book, make some drinks on your own,
and then come to your bar. When bartenders are
waiting on 100 people, we don't have time or patience
to make "something fruity"...
- Weasel, Bison Inn
* Asking the bartender "what's good"
at a busy bar is JUST PLAIN WRONG. As if I have
nothing better to do that give him a rundown of
every drink I know how to make!
- Shelly, Troy, NY
*Some moron calls the bar while you are busy
and wants to order a drink while sitting at the
bar and sees you are busy. I served that person
last in a long line of drinkers and told him if
he ever does that again he will not be welcome
anymore!
- Mike, Tucson, AZ
*Serving someone who then tries to tell you who
to serve next. "No we won't serve your mate
next to you, or the guy behind you and all other
customers just because you know them, or your
mate at the other side of the bar -it's first
come, first served."
- Gavin, Newcastle, UK
