Wow. Where have all you people been? Just like in the newspaper business, you only get comments when you write something negative. Kind of funny, actually.
Anyway, let me start by thanking you all for reading and commenting. But let me follow up by saying it's very apparent that some of you have never worked behind a bar. After working four days in a row slinging beers, some of this stuff just couldn't go without saying. (Oh, and I actually forgot one: Say the liquor first when ordering a drink. It's captain and diet. Not diet coke and captain).
I think a lot of you got the wrong idea. I don't think I'm high and mighty. I'm a freakin bartender. My argument was that I'm a good one and it's annoying when people are either too dumb to realize they've received great service or too cheap to tip accordingly. I don't have to ask/beg for tips. I make plenty of money (a ton, actually) working my personality behind the bar. When I work dayshifts, I thrive on this. I love having my whole room going. I love when people say they were just coming in for one and then sit with me the entire day. I've even had groups of out-of-towners come back the next day to sit with me again. It's a great compliment and it's one of the main reasons I love bartending.
My previous post was directed at a select group. Those kids who have just turned legal and think beers should be as cheap as they are when they come in a case. I agree with you, but that's just not how it is. Our place raised prices on domestic bottles from $4 to $4.25, which I think is far too much for a Bud. All I'm saying is don't take it out on your bartender.
Those of you who had time to "smile and push through it" obviously didn't work in a high volume establishment. When I work upstairs in the club area, that's all you get. People hanging over the bar that want their drinks fast. That's what I do and I do it well. I'm lucky to work at a place in Boston where the staff is among the best I've ever seen. They are attentive and fast and fun, a rare combination. In a busy environment we provide good service if we remember what you're drinking, remember the name on your tab, etc. Patrons love this and thank us profusely and then proceed to leave $3 on a $30 tab. What the heck is that? It's just not right and it makes things frustrating.
We're there to make money, plain and simple. And verbal tips don't pay the rent.

I concur entirely with your views on bar etiquette and why they are so important to follow in order to receive proper service. One you may have missed though is that it is not necessary to mention that you want a lime in your drink. It is matter of fact that a lime is place in certain drinks. It is only necessary to tell a bartender if you don't want a lime, lemon, et al.
Oh I disagree. I HAVE to tell the bartender I want a lime in my Kettle and Soda (alcohol first!). Otherwise I never get one.

There’s a story that’s been out for a couple of weeks about a kid that tried to give Megan Fox a rose at the London Transformers premiere and she ignored him. This is the picture that was captured and the kid’s face really tells the story. That photographer needs a raise megan fox naked pics

The awards show was taped yesterday in L.A. which means there was a lot of iconic media geekiness walking the red carpet. There was also a lot of terrible fashion. In particular, I’m personally disappointed in my girls Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica) and Kaley Cuoco (Big Bang Theory) for showing up looking like they should be working the register at The Limited… in 1992 megan fox naked
