The job of a bartender is to serve the patrons on behalf of the owner of the establishment. Basically, their job is to get this:
Yes, that's six dollars USD. That might be a bit more than some drinks and a bit less than others, but it's a nice round number. But, I digress... This isn't about how much money is in a picture.[1]
If a bartender does their job correctly and serves you, they will not only get what is pictured in the above photo, but they will also end up with the following:
See that? That's a tip. That's what a bartender gets when they do a good job and are nice. Maybe they get it as soon as they give you your drink (some people tip immediately), or maybe they get it at the end of the night if you're buying several drinks. The point is, they get that if they're good at their job and treat the customer with respect.
Do you know who doesn't get it? The woman at the Sidebar who my girlfriend now refers to as "cunt".
Do you know why? Because after we had bought several drinks, she simply refused to serve us.
For 45 minutes, we tried in vain to get service. Finally, she informed us that we could get something "after all of the other customers who were tipping". Yeah, who the fuck really says that? That's horrible customer service, and a horrible attitude. That's entitlement to the fucking max!
Her job isn't to demand a tip, it's to sell people alcohol and make the place money. If she gets a tip, that's awesome - and it's the nice thing to do when you're a customer. However, acting like you are OWED one and refusing to serve people because they haven't given you when is just bad service. And you know what happens when you give that kind bad service? You miss out on both of the above pictures of money, and you can possibly ruin someone's night out with your horrible attitude.
She's overall horrible at her actual job (making the bar money) because she was serving "all of the other people who were tipping", which I could see were people buying $2 Natty Bohs. We were actually trying to spend MORE money on higher priced items. So, while she might've been getting a tip (which works to her advantage), she actually failed at her specific job, which is the make the bar more money. If I were the owner, I'd fire her.
But again, I digress... I'll get back to the point!
Was she going to get a tip from us? In the words of Sarah Palin, "You betcha!"[2] But, she was going to get it at the end of the night, like we often tip. But now she gets nothing but what she deserves: scathing words for a stupidly entitled woman with a bad attitude.
1. if you don't know how much money is in a picture, you probably can't read this blog anyway.
2. This will likely be the first and only time I quote that awful woman.
