So I bartend. The past night it was crazy busy! Now when I'm on the other side of the bar as a customer, when I see it's busy. I know I may have to wait awhile before I recieve a drink. It's understandable, bartenders only have two hands and two legs. Now if the bartender is picking their nose while your waiting, that's a whole new ball game!
1. I don't make dumb comments like; why are you ignoring me, 2. I don't try to yell over the dj/radio at the bartender, I wait until I get up to the counter! 3. I also don't wave my money rudly in the bartender's face, thinking that may get them to server me faster or before anyone else whose been waiting.
4. When you order your drink order it too my face not my chest! I promise looking me in the eyes will win you a drink alot faster than my chest will ever!
5. If you can't talk without slurring your words to order a drink, don't embarass yourself by trying to get another drink! Umm, most likely you've already had enough to drink.
6. I could keep this list going, but I think you get the point.
JUST A WARNING IF YOU DECIDE TO KEEP STICKING YOUR MONEY IN MY FACE, I MAY JUST BITE!
Also, when you get your drink, whether you pay for it or someone else does. TIP your bartender. YES, that is how we make our money! I like big tips but I also know that small tips add up too!
I personally think everyone should have to bartend or serve for atleast 2 weeks, for the fact they can understand how this job works!
So next time your at a bar, think twice and be patient and kind to your bartender!
The job isn't as glamerous as Tom Cruise makes it to be in Cocktails! Or in more recent times we don't get to spray our customers with water when they order that and not a drink! You know like in the movie Coyote Ugly.
Last but not least, tip your bartender!
