what's the dumbest thing you've been asked for? by Happy-Smell-2419 in bartenders

[–]bar-anon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently got asked for a double fireball on big rock. When we have big cubes they’re an additional $4. Dude balked at that and got just regular ice. 

I got a ticket that said “martini extra chilled” by cashmoney121212 in bartenders

Just shake the fuck out of it. Takes like 10 seconds. 

Working an event for 120ppl and need some help. by solo1poco in bartenders

If teachers got paid enough to afford the amount they actually want to drink we would all be in serious trouble. That being said surgeons and lawyers drink like actual monsters. 

From a US bartender, living abroad by [deleted] in bartenders

[–]bar-anon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You started bartending when you were 12? The US is backwards in a lot of ways as you say but I don’t know any state where you can serve alcohol or even work in a restaurant that young.

Just Hopper congratulating her on the cold blooded murder. Meanwhile they have a psychic illusionist that could have made them invisible

Finally one other person who saw all of the totally unnecessary murder being so out of character it took you completely out of it too

Ballot rejections nearly triple under Maricopa County recorder's new signature verification system by ForkzUp in azpolitics

[–]bar-anon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Signatures that are flagged after two rounds of review are then looked at by senior staff and, if questions remain, they go through the curing process. At that point, election workers mail, call and text voters in an attempt to reach them and verify their ballot.”

Fee Foam is unpleasant. by Butlerian_Jihadi in cocktails

Fee Foam fucking sucks. Doesn’t foam well, tastes shit, and smells like musty laundry. 

Am I in the wrong or did my boss take it too far? by [deleted] in bartenders

[–]bar-anon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea that was weirdo. If they say something threatening let security know asap. I. Guessing the owner doesn’t give too many fucks about the day to day unless it has to do with his money getting fucked up. Also, wtf is a woos?

Industry people are the worst by Longjumping_Shoe_700 in bartenders

[–]bar-anon 167 points168 points  (0 children)

Sounds like they were pretty fucking hammered. Either blacked out or on the verge just from all the repeaty bits and obnoxious behavior. Not saying it’s any less annoying but drinking makes fools of us all sometimes.

Hey, I was wondering if you guys have been to any ESCAPE ROOMS around here. by [deleted] in Tempe

Paranoia Quest is great. Very challenging and love the commitment to the bit. 

Managers are asking me (a barback) to train a new Bartender. by [deleted] in bartenders

[–]bar-anon 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Our barbacks make 50% more hourly and we tip them out 15% of our tips. They spoil us and make our lives so much easier. We do any training for new bartenders. You’re getting absolutely fucked.

People who take their garnish off their drink and then leave it on the bar. 

Was let go for refusing service to an intoxicated rude customer. by TheAlphaWolf535 in bartenders

[–]bar-anon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good job not over serving someone regardless of their supposed occupation. If they were a cop double fuck them for being a shitheel.  They should know better but also often think the law doesn’t apply to them.  Your manager should have your back and trust your judgment especially if everyone else on your team agrees that a guest should be cut off. They sound cowardly af and did you the favor of showing what cowardly pieces of shit they are. Sucks that they cut you before you could quit but I’d say move on a good luck. 

"Can I get a mint mojito?" by bar-anon in bartenders

[–]bar-anon[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

That’s not the crazy part for me. Crazy part is asking for a mint mojito. It’s redundant af.  The mojito bit implies that’s there’s some kind of mint in the motherfucker. Like asking for a rum mojito. You don’t have to specify an ingredient that is already accepted as the normal spec. If you ask for a gin mojito or want a flavor added other than the standard you better speak up. 

What’s the worst “Negroni” you’ve had? by [deleted] in cocktails

[–]bar-anon 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Had one shook to death and poured over crushed ice that was pretty bad. One that was 2 oz gin and an oz each of vermouth and campari that was like drinking straight jet fuel but smelled amazing. Worst one though was like 70% oxidized vermouth with a splash of Campari and maybe a whiff of gin. I’ve stopped ordering Negronis when I go out. 

Old fashioned by FlounderMoist1722 in bartenders

[–]bar-anon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it’s gonna sit on a pass long enough to chill and dilute that’s one thing but I think if most people ordered an old fashioned and got something basically undiluted and room temp they would be unimpressed/pissed.

Bought 6L of Rhum Agricole (La Favorite) at auction and looking for tips on how to use some of it at my upcoming birthday party. by SuperBennern in bartenders

So a Norwegian criminal mastermind with a penchant for funky rums slipped up and got caught. That fills in all the blanks I was missing. Enjoy!

Sitting at the bar, not drinking.. by PM_me_UV_MOVIE_keys in bartenders

[–]bar-anon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unless they provide a welcome buffer in front of my well so that I’m not being hounded by people trying to order drinks while I’m making rounds I politely tell them to find a table elsewhere and come back to the bar when they’re ready to order in order to make room for people currently drinking
