Do not catch the bartender's attention on a busy
night only to hesitate when they approach you. If you do not know what you want
to order, refrain from approaching the bar. Bartenders are all about speed and
will resent you for slowing them down.
·
Do not ask for "what's good". It's alcohol,
it's all delicious! If you do not know what you like, how on earth am I supposed
to!
·
Do not, under any circumstances, leave change
smaller than a dollar. Quarters are acceptable only when they equal a dollar,
but they still piss us off. Dimes, nickels and pennies will be thrown back in
your face.
·
When ordering your drink during a loud DJ night,
keep it simple. I can barely hear you. Do not utter more words than necessary. “Rhum
and coke” does it. If you drown your instructions with pleasantries, it all
gets muffled into one big confusing sentence.
·
Order the alcohol, than the mixer. “Sprite and
Vodka” isn’t a drink. “Vodka 7” is.
·
Open bar, all you can drink or any kind of free alcohol
still requires for you to tip. The service was the same, regardless of money
exchange. Please respect that.
·
Do not order a drink whose recipe you do not
even know. There’s a chance I might not either and when I ask you, you will
look like a fool.
·
If ordering a “surprise me”, do not be appalled
if your drink gets thrown back in your face with a “SURPRISE!”. I’ve been
secretly hoping to do this one…
·
If you want to compliment me, you may. But
please refrain from touching me, in any way, unless we have an already
established friendship or working relationship. You may think kissing my hand
is sweet, but you are a complete stranger and you ain’t the first one who
tried.
