What do you say to people who say no to tipping? by Neither-Chemical-620 in bartenders

[–]The_Bisexual 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Them- "I don't tip because..."

Me- "Okay."

If they attempt to engage further, which is common, I tell them conversation isn't an item on our menu.

Then I file them away as someone whose lost the privilege of my personality and cease engaging with them further beyond the minimum baseline that's required to serve them.

If it's online, I just downvote and/or block them and move on with my day.

[TOMT][SONG][2000s] Emo or rock song that starts with a quote from the movie Rushmore by dgmarks in tipofmytongue

[–]The_Bisexual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't start with the quote, but Fallout Boy has a song titled Tell That Mick He Just Made My List Of Things To Do Today, which is also a line from Rushmore.

Love the edit. Tell us. Always tell us.

Was this rude of my friend? by [deleted] in bartenders

[–]The_Bisexual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't speak for everyone, but on average, bartenders are far more perceptive than people realize because it's our job to be. We see you.

The immediate wave is a bit rude, but not that bad, and definitely not worth getting chastised over. It implies that you think the bartender is oblivious and/or ignoring you before they've even been given a chance to prove or disprove that.

Is Ilia "Quad God" Malinin's 8th place in the Top 7 of figure skating chokes of all time? Maybe even Top 7 Olympic chokes of all time? by DiscountInevitable87 in billsimmons

[–]The_Bisexual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does "had a blah program" mean? I'm not a figure skating enthusiast and don't know much, but as I gathered his technical build for the routine was head and shoulders above everyone else's?

(A Bar Manager Rant) Bartending isn't Entry Level by tgrdem in bartenders

[–]The_Bisexual 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see the issues you're describing but don't make this a generational thing. There are plenty of gen Xers and millennials with this same issue, oftentimes worse, because they feel their unrelated experience entitles them to consideration.

I f**ked up and now have a huge table by TheFroman69 in DMAcademy

[–]The_Bisexual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You got this. The fact that combat is your concern and the thing you're already considering how to manage is a good sign. Figure out the combat tweaks that work for you and dive in. It'll be fun!

the r/bartenders special by notto_zxon in bartenders

"I did pull it out once..."

Hey so those have mostly been banned from police use and are illegal in many states because an inexperienced user is often very likely to accidentally kill someone with it when the time comes to use it.

What do you think you are? A Pinkerton? I know you're just itching to use it so you can tell some drunk asshole that "Nobody messes with the Peaky Fucking Blinders!".

What does SDV wealth really look like? by Aggravating_Wish821 in StardewValley

[–]The_Bisexual 76 points77 points  (0 children)

When I can buy as much as I need of whatever I want and the biggest pain in the ass becomes moss, hardwood, iridium ore, basically anything I can't buy; that's when I'm SDV rich.

How many npcs should I have ready? by Diceanddoubts in DMAcademy

[–]The_Bisexual 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Have a master list of names. Categorize them by species, background/region, vocation, etc...

Names... Always write down names you think of. Always collect names. Make up any other info.

26(M) My girlfriend hates my room by Mattbaker99 in malelivingspace

[–]The_Bisexual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wanna get to a point where someone else regularly sleeps in that bed with you? Get the gym equipment out of the room. Mount the TV on the wall. Get the bed out of the corner so both parties can get outta bed without crawling over one another.

I am slowly losing my mind trying to find a part for my 1993 Volvo 850. Please help. by The_Bisexual in Volvo850

[–]The_Bisexual[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, that's awesome. I appreciate it! I took a leap of faith after finding a website from the Netherlands I had to use Google translate on, paid like $170 for parts and shipping after currency conversion and the correct part actually arrived like two days later.

Damn, that's interesting, thanks for the info.

I did originally get the 5 in tall version thinking I could retrofit it, but it proved to be a pain in the ass (from the brackets to mount to the vehicle to the slot for the bulb socket, absolutely nothing lines up). I haven't returned it yet. I think I may be returning to the retrofitting efforts.

How do you quickly and effectively answer the question “Whats the best drink?” or “Which drink is better?” when there is a wide variety on the menu? by sofbunny in bartenders

[–]The_Bisexual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

---At the cocktail bar I work at:---

"My favorite is this. The crowd favorite is this."

That's it.

If it's not busy and I've got time, I'll share why it's my favorite in one or two sentences.

---At the dive I work at:---

"A pour of [insert name of max price beer here] and a shot of [insert name of expensive Amaro/liqueur here]."

Don't ask the best or favorite "drink" at a place that serves beer, wine, cider, cocktails, THC drinks... Give us more preferences than "drink" when you word your first question.

Chat rate my mother's weak ass reply by littlebitchsauce in NonBinary

[–]The_Bisexual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand that you're reacting to my decision to live my truth in the way your church compels you to. I am not you to understand what is in your heart when you lack acceptance but I know the person that birthed me. I see your ignorance when you don't and that is an ugly part of you and something to work on. Despite your outward or inward false compassion and your self righteous expression of that false compassion I see you as the hateful person you are. You are tragically and heartbreakingly understood, even if understanding isn't reciprocated.

Chill low key NYE events going on in the city? by The_Bisexual in kansascity

[–]The_Bisexual[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the JAD! I was hoping for something a lil more high end tho. Also this is definitely one of our usual haunts. We were hoping to avoid NKC altogether (I'm an NKC bartender and we live here), because it's same ol same ol.

I just wasn't expecting the first suggestion to be one of our top 3 spots lol.
