Comments on: 7 Ways to Piss Off Your Bartender http://www.lenestrada.com/2009/08/20/7-ways-to-piss-off-your-bartender/ Audacious, self-promoting bartender forces his opinion on you about bartending, social ineptitude of people, and life in general. Have a nice day.

Even as a customer I wouldn't get the bartender's attention without knowing exactly what my order is and be ready to spit it out like you're being timed. Great bartenders want your order just as fast as you want your drinks. Give a little, get a little. #1 pisses me off the most.

Over the past year or so, I've run into the situation where the food order has been incorrect at the fault of the customer. Keep in mind, this was never revealed during the shift. The customer is always right. However... it happens sometimes. If you, as a customer, get the order wrong, admit it. You will not get slapped on the wrist by your server or the manager. We will correct your order as soon as possible. We want to make you happy because, theoretically, you'll leave a better tip if you are. In fact, if you say things like, "This was supposed to be without cheese or onions," when you actually did NOT specify, you're setting up your server or bartender to be reprimanded by the management. Not very cool just to save you from embarrassment. It's a win win if you just admit that you were a moron and forgot to ask for what you really wanted. Don't blame us for your fuck ups.
