When guys pay for girls drinks they just met, trying to impress them, then don't tip. I am now going to talk shit about you to the girl the next time you go to the restroom. Good luck tonight.
Freak and Geek people who promise good tips usually do it because they will leave a shitty tip. It's like, the more they say they will take care of you, the bigger it gets in your head, they think. Or is it in their head?
Freak and Geek I’ve found that the Square type registers where customers have the option of 15 20 25 percent on the screen is motivational to giving a decent tip.
I totally hate "campers"!! Reasons why 1) they sit on the same drink for ages 2)they assume that us servers have no lives, and don't have families at home to take care of. 3) when you call last drinks, they whinge that your closing, even though they haven't spent money in the last hour and half, but somehow you have to stay open for them when it's only 2 or three people in the bar. 4) when you finally get to closing time, they still won't leave the bar, even when you politely ask them to leave because the bar is closed..
I work at a luxury hotel where I bartend private events. We mainly have open bars and all the men(women don't do this) as they walk up to my bar, nudge their buddy in the arm and say "hey, go ahead and order whatever you want. Im buying Ha. Ha. Ha." Obviously an open bar is free(also, no one tips at open bars). I always resist the urge to say "oh yeah? So you're leaving a tip for all these drinks, right?" The only difference is that we get paid $20 an hour, so it really makes up for non tippers.
The creepy people are over the top. I have a girl I work with that has a fake engagement ring behind the bar to slip on if they are too weird. Good thing I work in a dance club so we have good security and can clear out everyone after 2am.
The fake engagement ring is a common, and a pretty effective tactic... Although I've also see it illicit a whole different type of home wrecker-to-be creepy ;D
i wear a fake ring to job interviews and when the women general manager asks me to tell her something about myself other than my qualifications i show here a picture of my fake wife and daughter that i DL off of a random facebook and say i just want to make their lives beautiful and with this job their happiness is something i can see on the horizon. then the woman manager smiles, the, her male supervisor of maintenance nods his head in approval, and she offers you the job.
Campers suck, especially on a slow night where you made like 26 bucks the whole night and want to go home. I hate when people snap their fingers or whistle. I also agree with the make it extra strong. Are you gonna pay extra double?
Just be considerate and overtip and you will be remembered and treated very nicely. It has always worked for me. Also, I order double scotch neat so as to not be a pest. Tip waaaaay more than 20% for breakfast. Breakfast is labor intensive, cheap and the waitress is probably new staff and/or has kids to attend to. If your waitress seems upset, would it kill you to leave an awsome tip to brighten her day? If you have boatloads of money, spread the wealth around. Nobody tips better than "Old Money". Nobody tips worse than "wannabe new money". Don't bring your cheap friends who leave a dollar each. Don't waste the staff's time. Be ready to order or tell her you need a few minutes.
ALL awesome gold nuggets chuck... I especially love the "Nobody tips better than "Old Money". Nobody tips worse than "wannabe new money". Don't bring your cheap friends who leave a dollar each." Thanks for sharing!
I have a couple: -i dont have my id but i know the owner -i never get ided here! - im gonna leave you a great tip or ill take care of you - so what are you in school for? As if you cant make a career out of bartending - you look so young! In tennessee you can bartend at 18. - why is this so expensive? I can make it at home cheaper! (Then why dont you just make it at home?)
My worst ones are the ones who come about an hour before closing, it is usually about fifteen people so we have to sit them at separate tables and when they order of course they order two beer towers and stay 45 minutes after closing while we are cleaning and make a big mess
@@jamesepperson9734 I've only ever seen camping be an issue in bars without security. And realistically if your bar frequently has people doing half this stuff then it could do with a bouncer or two. At my place we are super nice right up until 1:55, state law dictates that to have a customer on the property at 2am on the dot can get you a fine, so by 1:58 me and the other bouncers go from nice to taking drinks and body pushing them out the door onto the sidewalk. Once had a guy complain that "you guys are open til 2, chill out" to which i smiled and replied "yeah but we are only nice about you being here til 1:55, come back tomorrow".
There’s a bar I go to and they automatically make their drinks stronger they use jiggers instead of shots when you order. But charge the same. And for those of you wondering I don’t use a straw so the drop of alcohol in the straw truck wouldn’t work on me.
A guy got angry at me for an imaginary disservice once. He thought we were avoiding serving him. Me and the rest of the bartenders the n proceeded to actually avoid him as much as possible the rest of that busy night.
dude i work in a fine dining/craft cocktail room.........DO YOU HAVE A KIDS MENU? is the one that gets me , no you entitled can i talk to your manager haircut soccer mom....this isnt chuck e cheeses......
When you see noone waiting, you turn around to carry on with another task and then 5 seconds later, you hear a "can I have some service please?" You turn around in dismay and the customer looks bored or disgruntled and is not even looking at you. Besides getting your drink, do you really expect a nice cheerful smile?
Buzzfeed's primary audience is millennials and hipsters, who's culture often confuses snark for wisdom, sarcasm for intelligence, and beards for experience. That may explain their heavy passive aggressive sense of humor. Just my observation.
“Make me something sweet” “No, tell me what u want because im not making a drink and u not like it just to ask if i can make u what u should have originally ordered”
we have a members rebate (its not only a bar/club its allso a student community), and i cannot stand when people try to fake having their card or say "can't you just give me the rebate". i cannot do that and its annoying. Especially girls, who try to get all flirty and say stuff like "well its my birthday" or "could you do it for me?". Like for real...
You're going to do whatever you like! I know when I was single and had lots of dating options because of my position and visibility I had lots of dates ;)
“Can you charge my phone?” “Oh, do you mind getting my phone? I need to check my Insta.” “Hey... do you mind putting this back on the charger?” I fucking die inside.
Dude, is watering down drinks and alcohol unit reduction legal in the US? In Ontario, you can’t legally cut the amount of alcohol in drinks without telling the customer. I’m not exactly sure how they’d bust you for doing that.... but it’s the law all that same. Also, it’s stupid illegal to serve a drunk customer, too 😂
Megan W that one's my favorite. I've had someone ask "I paid $2.25 for a beer at (different bar) why is it $3 here?" First off he's complaining about 75cents and second if I was a customer I'd rather not carry small change it always falls out of My wallet
I am working as a bartender in UK: Nr.1 I am a customer, expect the best service and something extra, but leave you no tip. Nr,2 ' Oh and don't forget my discount..' Nr.3 Show me your disgusted face expression when you have to leave a bar after having a good time while I keep smiling on you and stay to clean all that mess till 4 am. Nr.4 Tell me about your hard office job 9-5 Mo - Fri. Please ! I could continue forever. :-D
Every time a customer thinks they can sweet-talk me into getting free drinks I literally want to rip my hair out. There's nothing worse than having a nice conversation with a customer, only for them to say "so is this one on the house?" You are an actual garbage person if you do this...
From the security side of things, I wish our bartenders kept all the above mentioned to themselves. I work at a college divebar with bartenders slightly older than the typical crowd so it's expected but I cant tell you how many people i've had to drag out ready to fight because they were mildly dickish to the bartender and some sorority girl bartender trying to pay for dues mouths off to the drunkard, knowing that it's my problem to deal with once he gets pissed off.
I know this is a super old video but I just saw it and some things are very accurate and just rude, "campers" for instance other things especially things in reading the comments are just mean bartenders not understanding some people are social awkward and could nicely be led to the good side with a bit of kindness. 💞 yes hard to imagine but some bartenders are actually terrible people too.
100% agreed. A looooot of terrible character bartenders in the world. This video is supposed to be all in good fun, so definitely some embellishment happening. The campers subject is a hard thing to explain unless you’ve dealt with it. Imagine you’re at work an hour or more past when you’re supposed to have been home because people won’t leave. I can say with some confidence that the worst offenders aren’t socially awkward or uncomfortable, they have this air of “you’re the (bartender/server/establishment) and here to serve ME. I’ll leave when I say I’m done” about them that reeks of disrespect… that’s what ppl are grumbling about. Thanks for sharing, always good to hear messages calling for more ❤️

Yeah unless you did it terribly it would be almost impossible to get caught watering down a drink, you can just blame it on the bartender being new or getting distracted and messing up. But you are also right, in most places if you have deemed a customer overserved then it could land you in plenty of trouble to keep feeding them drinks, even watered down. Have some balls, cut the drunk off and tell them they can come get more drinks tomorrow.

"I know the owner" Can be slipped in anywhere, but its especially great when its their opening line. You just lost out on about 50% of my service.
This one drives me nuts too...
I always answer “wow me too! What a CRAZZZY coincidence!!!”
"Yup, me too."
My absolute favorite
Me: hey how ya doing tonight
Customer: Coors light
Me: soo... I guess thirsty is the answer to my question?
At least you get "light"
They just mumble "coors" without looking at me
When guys pay for girls drinks they just met, trying to impress them, then don't tip. I am now going to talk shit about you to the girl the next time you go to the restroom. Good luck tonight.
That's golden.
that could get you in trouble, id not.
my worst experience is the cheap people that promise they will take care of you and then leave a horrible tip
Freak and Geek people who promise good tips usually do it because they will leave a shitty tip. It's like, the more they say they will take care of you, the bigger it gets in your head, they think. Or is it in their head?
Freak and Geek I’ve found that the Square type registers where customers have the option of 15 20 25 percent on the screen is motivational to giving a decent tip.
I totally hate "campers"!! Reasons why 1) they sit on the same drink for ages 2)they assume that us servers have no lives, and don't have families at home to take care of. 3) when you call last drinks, they whinge that your closing, even though they haven't spent money in the last hour and half, but somehow you have to stay open for them when it's only 2 or three people in the bar. 4) when you finally get to closing time, they still won't leave the bar, even when you politely ask them to leave because the bar is closed..
"Make it strong!" - Nah, I'll rather make it good.
And I think the worst topic is anything related to politics.
Agreed...political or religious discussions have no place in a bar :)
I work at a luxury hotel where I bartend private events. We mainly have open bars and all the men(women don't do this) as they walk up to my bar, nudge their buddy in the arm and say "hey, go ahead and order whatever you want. Im buying Ha. Ha. Ha."

The only difference is that we get paid $20 an hour, so it really makes up for non tippers.
but dont you get a killer gratuity every quarter of the year?
Ana I’ve worked tons of events for Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Apple, etc. The pain of working an open bar is great. Guests make 100-200k but don’t tip.
$20 doesn't make up for non-tippers in my world.
All of these are so spot on!!😂😂😂
It's adult babysitting!
Last call was 30 mins ago. Customers offer $100 for a drink. Gotta splain that the Copa is closed,
The creepy people are over the top. I have a girl I work with that has a fake engagement ring behind the bar to slip on if they are too weird. Good thing I work in a dance club so we have good security and can clear out everyone after 2am.
The fake engagement ring is a common, and a pretty effective tactic... Although I've also see it illicit a whole different type of home wrecker-to-be creepy ;D
Bartending Pro have you experienced female bartenders to loose attractiveness to customers or establishment because they got married?
i wear a fake ring to job interviews and when the women general manager asks me to tell her something about myself other than my qualifications i show here a picture of my fake wife and daughter that i DL off of a random facebook and say i just want to make their lives beautiful and with this job their happiness is something i can see on the horizon. then the woman manager smiles, the, her male supervisor of maintenance nods his head in approval, and she offers you the job.
My favorite ~ Me- what are you having? Guest- Maybe I’ll have a gin and tonic.
Me- Maybe I’ll get you one.
Campers suck, especially on a slow night where you made like 26 bucks the whole night and want to go home. I hate when people snap their fingers or whistle. I also agree with the make it extra strong. Are you gonna pay extra double?

Right... too often 🤦🏻♂️

So when someone does something crappy like "camping" does it help if they leave a better tip?
A good, or big tip, alleviates all!
It might help but still likely won't cover the fine you and the bar can get for having campers after hours.

'Waiting' is the Office Space of the service industry.
Neither one are particularly well-acted or well-written. But they both tell SO much truth.
Waiting was genius! And everything you said is true 😊
Great tip for the 'make it stronger' but what do you do when they do not drink from a straw
(= keep up the great videos
floater
Also, work at a cash bar. "I know so and so, very good friends with him!!! He isnt working tonight? When did this become a cash bar only? (ALWAYS!)"
There’s a bar I go to and they automatically make their drinks stronger they use jiggers instead of shots when you order. But charge the same. And for those of you wondering I don’t use a straw so the drop of alcohol in the straw truck wouldn’t work on me.
I love your videos bro. I’ve learned so much from watching them. Thank you and God Bless
I work in a fine dining restaurant and I couldn’t agree with you more!!! The worst lol
You should check out the bartender hates you series!
Keep up the good work!

What's with Buzzfeed's videos always being so passive aggressive? Is that just their M.O?
Buzzfeed's primary audience is millennials and hipsters, who's culture often confuses snark for wisdom, sarcasm for intelligence, and beards for experience. That may explain their heavy passive aggressive sense of humor. Just my observation.
When it’s cut off time already and they say some shit like “come on bro just one more”
“Make me something sweet”
“No, tell me what u want because im not making a drink and u not like it just to ask if i can make u what u should have originally ordered”
😂 💯

Especially girls, who try to get all flirty and say stuff like "well its my birthday" or "could you do it for me?". Like for real...
"rebate" sounds dirty
Also gotta love the customers who order drinks on everyone else's tabs. This does not make you popular quite the opposite.
I think they've been watching your vids! Love your channel and when you post new stuff great react video
I want to become a bar porter and up because of your videos
what about the opposite. my friend and I at paticular bars are given such strong drinks we're almost knocked out and we complained too
that is blasphemy!
This is way too funny, all too true. 😅
perfect, love it. Great video!
🤣🤣 So much truth!
I loved your sincere reactions!
Love it, cheers
When the till is running slow and the guest saids then it just be free
No Jennifer it's not and we apply a hole tax so your drink now cost double
Ramos gin fizz, the bane of all bartenders.
so if an attractive female or stud ask you "what are you doing later" and you single, you going to turn them down everytime?
You're going to do whatever you like! I know when I was single and had lots of dating options because of my position and visibility I had lots of dates ;)
Haha! That was awesome!
“Can you charge my phone?” “Oh, do you mind getting my phone? I need to check my Insta.” “Hey... do you mind putting this back on the charger?”
I fucking die inside.
"I'll have a beer".... What brand???
"oh, what do you have?" *gestures to line of beer taps and bottles*
Probably a newbie
Dude, is watering down drinks and alcohol unit reduction legal in the US? In Ontario, you can’t legally cut the amount of alcohol in drinks without telling the customer. I’m not exactly sure how they’d bust you for doing that.... but it’s the law all that same. Also, it’s stupid illegal to serve a drunk customer, too 😂
Complaining about drink prices.

You've got patron coffee on your bar?! Not smart ordering
Real bartenders are honest
Guests who think they know more you about bartending/alcohol.
