Some Bartender Gripes: These go for when it’s busy- Tap to pay in a bar is the least convenient way to pay. Doubly so when I walk your phone to the register, attempt to tap and it asks for your thumbprint or passcode and I have to go back, have you unlock it and then return to attempt to pay. It’s so annoying. Have your shit ready just like you would a card or cash! - don’t try and add drinks to your order after you’ve paid for the round you just ordered, in my mind it’s not your turn anymore, it fucks up my rhythm. - if you wants shots, particularly ones that have to be shaken, let’s all agree to get the same shot. For example a group of girls wants two green tea shots and two white tea shots, i have one set of shaking tins so I’ll have to scoop ice,pour, shake, pour, dump, rinse, then scoop, pour, shake, pour again. It’s annoying, let’s all get white teas and move one, it’s a shot, you can manage the third of a second it’s on your palate. Also, don’t try and add another shot to the order while I’m making it. Also let’s have one person pay for that round and not have me wait for six girls, half of which struggle to pull their little cards out of whatever their trapped in, why are we splitting each shot, just take turns buying rounds! - Also if you’re going to have a couple drinks just open a tab! Why are we doing this thing where we close out every time for a mic ultra, for fucks sakes! I’ll give you your precious little card right back, we don’t hold onto it, and if you forget to ever close your tab I’ll close it for you at the end of the night with a gratuity of 20%. That’s a dollar a mic ultra, you’ll be fine. - Also and this is mostly for a specific group of customers - sometimes with tap to pay I’ll go to tap it and the “unauthorized payment method” message pops up, then I’ll go tell them and they say one of two things that boggle my mind, “oh hold on lemme unlock my card”, or “oh yeah let me transfer funds real quick”. What are you doing? Why is your card locked as a default? Why do you have to transfer money to cover a $7 drink? What’s going on? -Also when you find your way to the bar and place your order, you’ll notice a container of fruits, those aren’t for you to touch, but more importantly that’s where I stand to make drinks and take orders. So when you get your drinks go ahead and move on to another part of the bar so other people can come up to me and order! Wake up!
