- gvoakes, on 07/02/2009, -0/+7I get the feeling that pissing ON the bartender would piss them off as well
- jboitnott, on 07/02/2009, -0/+4Only you Greg. Only you. :-)
- Bukowsky, on 07/02/2009, -1/+4They had to take a jab at the Astros, huh? Damnit... I'm sick of them losing too, but I'd still rather watch them lose then watch a cheerleading competition.

- Zippo, on 07/03/2009, -0/+1Not to sound like a cheap bastard, but I hate when tipping is "mandatory". I have no issue with tipping as a concept, but I should decide whether or not you get a tip, not you.
You're getting paid to do your job and the cost of what I'm buying already goes towards your paycheque... if I feel that you've treated me very well, went out of your way to serve me in some way, or were generally friendly and helpful, I'll be more than happy to reward you with a tip.
There are plenty of other jobs where people serve or help customers, but don't get tips. Just because you're behind a bar doesn't mean you're *entitled* to extra cash. Yes, it's a nice bonus... but I hate when people just do their job to the minimum that is required of them and EXPECT a tip.
In some cultures, tipping is actually seen as rude. Take, for example, Japan... Tipping someone implies that you think they must be paid extra to ensure they do their job properly... or you're doing it out of pity because you think they need the extra cash. - jimithy, on 07/03/2009, -0/+1The one thing that annoys me as a bar tender is when we have a customer who has already had a few and then asks for a double shot of something with coke/lemonade etc. He'll turn away, I'll pour the drink then he'll pay and have a sip, then complain that there isn't two shots in the drink.
I'll tell him there there are two shots in there, but he'll insist there isn't and that I'm trying to mug him off causing a scene, then try to claim an extra shot for free. Because of the whole be nice to the customer, I can't tell him to go ***** himself.
(To make matters worse, the last time it happened my manager was drinking on the bar and took a sip of it and said that it didn't taste strong enough and that he agreed with the customer. So much for taking your sober member of staff's side.) - 17999, on 07/03/2009, -0/+1since when do you tip for a to-go order? WTF?
- glinsvad, on 07/03/2009, -0/+1Err, is it or is it not the bartenders job to sell drinks? If the place is busy, this means you are under-staffed. I'll be damed if I can't get the Apple-tini I ordered.
/s - robquig, on 07/03/2009, -1/+0I'm a former bartender. This nails it.
