at the bar 2023

That's ridiculous.

I've had BARTENDERS put a coaster on MY drink when I left to go to the bathroom and they saw me and knew I was coming back.

a sign that I didn't liket he drink and I am leaving = I pick the drink up and throw it on the floor

how old was this bartender?

Early 30's, I'd say.

"Dumbass" is a good assessment imho

Sounds like weird passive aggressive behavior on the bartenders part

That chair tip-foward move is class, don’t see it very often

*tips hat*

I even put a coaster on my drink when I go to the bathroom at home. Total reflex action.

I don’t have coasters at home, I just turn my glass upside down.

Oh shit, you mean you aren't supposed to carry your stool with you to the bathroom to signal your intention to return?

usually the stool shouldn't appear until once inside the bathroom

I do the reverse of that.

xp

lol Neando, alternately, one should carry their (other) stool back from the bathroom to prove their whereabouts

There's a good ol' boy regular at my place who always takes his beer to the toilet with him, so fucking disgusting.

In my (hard-drinking) town, the coaster leans against the glass, never touching the rim as that's a huge culinary/sanitation no-no.

i like, but have never seen that

“This one’s on me” three mile smile

until the cash runs out…

Why would a bar stock Magners in a can and then put it on tap?

Different price points

Still here fml

*lol

The smallest table

Bartender drinking on the job
Not sure that’s the best idea

Not this early anyway

Starting a campaign of excessive tipping

Bartender refills glass of water w/out asking is solid, imho

Buying a cheaper drink and tipping the bartender more is real class solidarity imo

Greasy looking fellow having an interview for the bar back position, talks the ear off the bartender. “Just so you know, the chances of you becoming a bartender here are slim to none’l

barback has that just woke up at 4 am because it’s an emergency look

Getting change in scotch-taped 10s

I gave them back to pay for the next round

A pickleback and a guinness

barback is a replicant

tipping average over the last few weeks is above 50% drink price

This 1 seems to have no clue what a buy back is after 4 at 50% so I will have to decrease my tipping sorry

I don't get this tipping 50% business. So you've paid the price of six drinks, have been served four drinks, and are hoping for the bartender to graciously serve you a fifth drink?

Right

And your response to that is, I'll show that bartender, I'll pay for another drink and tip them a regular amount

Right

Yeah maybe just buy things that you want and intend to consume

The buyback white whale

“Cheers homie” not a phrase spoken to me much but it is most welcome : )

“Are you alright?” when entering also not often heard, this one a little less welcome

The WiFi went out so the bar is quiet. Wonderful

Adding songs I hear here to my at the bar playlist, which is played at the bar, circular reference warning

I can’t wait to start the 2034 thread

too soon
