Builder NO, bartenders that DO THEIR JOB WHICH IS BARTENDING, deserve a tip. Barmaids that "PLAY AROUND NOT DOING THEIR JOB THEY ARE GETTING PAID FOR DON'T deserve a tip. I don't get HOW can you say barmaids that want to chit-chat(which is NOT doing their job) get more money than HARD WORKING BARTENDERS THAT DO THEIR JOB? Tip the bartenders that are busting ASS making drinks and SERVING the PUBLIC. That's the people that deserve a tip, not people that PLAY AROUND on the job. This DOESN'T make sense to your logic that employees that flirt on the job earned their way. They DIDN'T earn their way if they flirted, ANYONE can chit-chat on the job, that DOESN'T take ANY TRAINING. Earning your way is DOING YOUR WORK!

Vortex Did they tell you it was the wrong bill? If so, did you at least say you were sorry? See, I can forgive servers for most of the mistake if the server is NICE about it. Like if the waiter would have said he was sorry and fixed the problem right away, but he really acted like he could care less, so I cared less about his tip. I feel, the server is nice to me, I'll be nice back by giving a nice tip. I really think the server did it on purpose, really, not to at least say one "sorry." I can't understand why servers wouldn't care about HOW MUCH they are going to get? Heck, even if my whole mean is ruined, if the server acts like they care, they'll get something, not nothing at all. Even a 2 or 3 bucks for a party of 2's bill that would be $30, would be something for a messed up meal. If I were a server, I'd rather say that I would be "So sorry" and get a "CHANCE" for a tip at all, than not to say it. Although, honestly, I'd still mean the sorry anyway, because I would actually feel SO bad for the customer that got a meal messed up because of me. It seems like some servers I have had, just don't care about the customer or their tip. It's like that here now, because of Katrina damage. There's not many restaurants open still, even in October a lot of restaurants haven't reopened yet because of lack of employees or damage. It sucks, everywhere you go almost around here, there's a CROWD and VERY long wait times for a table. One time at around 8:00p.m. on a friday night about 2 weeks ago, we got turned away, because there were just SO many people. The hostess said "Sorry, but we aren't taking anymore customers." I have never been turned away before for too many customers. I can't wait until more restaurants start opening back up. Usually, at this Applebees, I didn't have a wait, but because it was "MARDI GRAS", there were a lot of people eating out places.

Vortex I truly, rarely get an apology, even for some HUGE mistakes like in 2003. My husband and I went to Applebees. Everything went pretty well, not perfect, but pretty well, no food mistakes. Then the bill came which was around $35 or $36, which was correct. He took my credit card to ring it up and the credit card receipt came back with $47 and something cents I believe. Around $11.00 he overcharged my credit card. He left so quickly, he was already at another table by the time we realized this. I went up to him when he was at another table already and told him "This is wrong" as I was holding up the bill. He just keep taking the people's orders(I think it was drink orders), and NO apology. So, I went up to the manager and the manager said he rung up my credit card on the WRONG table. After the manager returned the money to my credit card, the waiter was standing at the computer terminal along with the manager. The manager then asked the waiter "Is this what they had?" as the manager pulled up what we had on the screen. The waiter didn't even look at it and told what we had from MEMORY. That pissed me off and made me think that he did this on purpose to get a friend's table cheaper, so we'd pay the higher bill. Anyway, NO apology from either manager nor waiter. Left him ZERO tip for being so uncaring about the situation and I even told the manger I thought he did it on purpose. The stupid and gullable manager said "No". That pissed me off that he would defend his waiter, when HONESTLY, the manager had NO CLUE if the waiter did this on purpose or not. It's not like he apologized or fixed the problem right away. This waiter was SUCH an asshole. The thing I didn't like at the beginning he did. Instead of just taking our drink order since we had waited 15 minutes to be seated, NO, he asked us "How our Mardi Gras was?", because it was Mardi Gras day. I am thinking in my head, "SO WHAT", when he was asking this and that I just wanted to order. When customers wait for tables, they TRULY don't want to wait longer for small talk. I say, save that stuff when it's not busy and when the order is already put in. Our food took a LONG time, because it was so busy. I was going to leave him $6.00, but he messed that up by overcharging me without an apology and not fixing the mistake right away by not saying to the people at the table "Be back in a minute or so". WE, were in there MUCH LONGER than the people at the table were, so if there's a mistake, it DEFINATELY should take PRIORITY over ANYTHING else. I found a website one time that had a lady that stated "She didn't come to the restaurant to make a friend." MOST people want to talk with the people they came with, NOT the server. When people are hungry and thirsty, that's what they are. MOST customers want their food and drink, NOT to chit-chat with the server.

Mohammed_Rots_In_Hell I probably wouldn't have left anything, depending on HOW the mistake was handled. She should be writing the order down, whether or not she feels she has a good memory or not. It always HELPS to write the order down I feel. It isn't a guarantee though. I have had a server bring me the COMPLETELY wrong entree and he WROTE it down. I have also had MANY of times where I asked for a condiment or condiments with my meal, which the server wrote down, and of course, it doesn't arrive with the condiment or condiments I ordered. Did she at least apologize? If she did apologize profusely, ONLY then would have I given her a tip, like 5%, but if I got an apology plus something free for my mess up, around 10%-13%. Otherwise, if she only said "Sorry about that", that's NOT good enough for me. I feel a server that messes up my whole order needs to say they are "SO sorry" and try to be able to take something off the bill for the mess up by asking their manager. That would be the CARING thing to do and it would help the server's tip tremendously because most people would not as pissed about the mistake. When will servers learn they have to get the order correct for customers to be happy? I have even read on a website about that a person said something like "If I order beans as my side, don't bring me fries." It's common sense that these servers need to write the order down and compare the plate of food with the order. That's why a lot of mess ups happen. I find MOST servers just don't care if they make a mistake. MOST servers don't say their sorry and that REALLY pisses me off to make their tip lowered. I am a person that has feelings and they need to be nice enough to say their sorry I feel. It seems like servers don't think "If that was my meal, HOW would I feel?" They just don't care.

Lethalfind I can't believe there is FINALLY someone that has my point of view. I feel if the customer knows the menu better than the server, that's a problem. The server should KNOW that if something comes with a side of marinara sauce or something like that. It's NOT the CUSTOMER that is suppose to remind the server. That's not good service when a customer has to remind the server of something. That shows that the server doesn't care about their customers, because if they did, they'd make sure they'd have EVERYTHING that is described on the menu BEFORE taking the food to the customer. I am not saying the menu has to be memorized, just read over before bringing the food to the customer. It makes the server look STUPID when the customer knows the menu BETTER than the server. I had to point out to a food runner, these chicken tenders are suppose to come with bar-b-que sauce and I had ordered a side of honey mustard. That's just STUPID. A customer should NEVER have to remind the server about at least the stuff that comes with the food. The bar-b-que sauce was completely forgotten and I told the food runner that we ordered honey mustard. He only brought the honey mustard and I had to tell the waitress when she came by that "The menu says this is suppose to come with bar-b-que sauce." That's PATHETIC to me to have to remind the server of what's on the menu. I don't even work there and I had only been there once before, which I didn't even order chicken tender the last time I was there even. It just pisses me off when the customer knows more than the wait staff about the restaurant's food.

Cogito Ergo Sum I just treat people the EXACT way they treat me. One time some person was coming off an exit off the interstate. I was in the right lane. The person didn't have their turn signal on. I didn't let them in and they kept pace with me as if they had right-of-way. WHAT AN ASSHOLE! I ended up HAVING to let that person in because it would have caused an accident. As if that person had RIGHT-OF-WAY, NOT, I HAD RIGHT-OF-WAY, I was on the interstate already, that person had to YIELD to ME. That is HOW it goes, plain and simple. That person kept pace with me and I had NO CHOICE but to let that person let them in or else we would have collided. You know, that's JERK that's VERY, VERY LAZY that CAN'T PULL A DAMN LEVER DOWN FOR A TURN SIGNAL. HOW HARD IS THAT REALLY? It's the LAW in this state. If that person wants to be a jerk, I HONKED on THEIR ASS. THAT'S AN ASSHOLE! TREAT PEOPLE THAT EXACT WAY YOU'D LIKE TO BE TREATED! The lack of the person's turn signal made me not want to let them in. Especially since I had RIGHT-OF-WAY ANYWAY. I feel you be mean to me and I'll be mean to you. You be nice to me, and I'll be nice to you. THAT'S THE WAY IT SHOULD BE!

Vortex It was VERY, VERY GOOD service. GOSH, they were VERY PICKY. I have NEVER change my mine like that, EVER. Those customers were RIDICULOUS. You seem to have tried your very BEST to satisfiy those picky people. I have ordered something that I wasn't sure I'd like once and I even told the waitress I'd pay for it, but she ended up not charging me, so I gave her a MUCH BIGGER tip. I don't think it's right for me to try something new on the house. Just because I don't like it doesn't mean that it should be free. If the restaurant staff didn't do ANYTHING wrong, I am willing to pay for what I ordered. I have done that with a margarita I didn't like. Sure I drank like 1/4 of it, but it wasn't good, I still gave the waiter his tip and paid for the drink in full. I believe in if you order something that you don't like, it isn't the restaurant staff's fault if they got everything right and it's piping hot. I didn't ask, (it happen to be a certain salad) for free. I just asked her if I could have something else, but I'd pay for the salad I ordered. I think I should have though, but since she didn't charge me, I gave her a much nicer tip. I feel the wait staff didn't do anything wrong, I just didn't realize that I wouldn't like that type of salad. I really didn't do it on purpose. All the other times though, I have ALWAYS kept my food, even if it wasn't to my liking. It's NOT the staff's fault I don't like my food, unless they made it WRONG, then it would be then. Sometimes it's the COOK'S fault for cooking something wrong like a steak. I am NOT like those people at all. That was HORRIBLE that they only gave you LESS than 15%. I figured out, it would have been $8.25 at 15%. It wasn't your fault they didn't like their food. They should have gave you 20% at least.

Chica OF COURSE, I KNOW what it means. It means that if I am am the road and someone is at a yield sign, I have RIGHT-OF-WAY of them. NO, they can't LEGALLY. They are IMPEDING traffic when a vehicle does that. Let's say a car in front of me let's someone in from a yield sign. That person at the yield sign wants to actually go straight across 2 same direction lanes. Now, ALL OF US are behind this vehicle this person let in are stuck sitting there being blocked because of this asshole that let someone in from a yield sign. That person couldn't make it all the way across because the other lane was blocked. I have had this happen already. It's NOT right for ANYONE to leave people at a yield sign, unless the traffic is bumper to bumper. A YIELD means YIELD, so what gives ANYONE besides police officers to give them right-of-way? NO ONE can legally give someone right-of-way, only law enforcement can do that. It's RUDE to the drivers BEHIND you. It's ONLY, ONLY, ONLY thinking of that (1) vehicle vs. ALL the vehicles on the road. That's NOT RIGHT. It's one thing if traffic is bumper to bumper to let (1) vehicle ONLY in on the interstate, it's another for traffic to be normal and stop to let someone in, which I have seen. That's just NOT RIGHT. Usually, unless it's an interstate situation, I DON'T let people in from a yield sign, because they are suppose to yield to me. An interstate situation is different, because people would never get on from an exit if they wouldn't have anybody letting them in. It would take hours for them to get on in rush hour traffic. That is a TOTALLY different situation, but when it's just normal traffic, I do what the SIGNS SAY. Also, I NEVER let people in if they don't have their signals. If they can't flip a lever, then HECK with them. They have to follow the law just like I do. You want to be let in, put your damn signal on, otherwise, NO WAY will you be let in UNLESS an it will prevent an accident. Then I'll just flip them off for being an asshole. One time, a 18-wheeler truck went over the stop sign that person had at the intersection. I was in the middle lane at a light and there was a lot of traffic in all lanes. I didn't block the intersection like I was suppose to. When the light turned green, I left and the STUPID SELFISH person behind me kept sitting and delayed BOTH right and middle lanes from going. I could see in my rear-view mirror that this is what happened. That truck blocked the right lane's intersection when the light was red even. So, I made sure I followed the LAW and WENT at the GREEN light. The law is that NO ONE goes OVER the signs. That truck was suppose to be BEHIND the stop sign.

Vortex That is NOT how the chain restaurants do it such as Outback. Almost everytime I've gone to Outback, I have had DIFFERENT glasses of soft drink brought to me WITHOUT me requesting the refill or them asking me. MOST restaurants I have been to DON'T take your glass. I actually LIKE that the server gives me a NEW glass, because while I am waiting for my refill, I can still sip on the last few sips of my drink, instead of having nothing to sip on, especially if I am in the middle of eating my meal. Also, it may take the server a couple of minutes to come back with the refills, so it's nice to be able to have SOMETHING to sip on. I actually think it is rude when someone just grabs a glass without asking. I have had that happen before and I didn't like it. At least you seem to ask people, so that's nice of you to think of their feelings. It's RARE that I don't get a NEW glass for my soft drink. The act of the server trying to order for the CUSTOMER. It's WASTING time that I could be getting either the check, dessert, or a DIFFERENT soft drink just THAT MUCH QUICKER if the server wouldn't make a trip to the bar to get the soft drinks and the time it takes to fill those glasses with the soft drinks for nothing if these drinks aren't wanted. It also makes the server look lazy that they don't want to make a separate trip to the table to ASK the customer and then make another trip to get the drinks if the customer wants the refills. Think about it, if 2 tables don't want refills and you go get new glasses with refills to bring to them without them acknowledging that wanted more, you just WASTED your time for people that don't want anymore drink and OTHER customer's time as well, because you could be at another table doing something that is truly wanted, instead of WASTING your time on UNWANTED drinks. NO ONE knows, unless they ask. I feel the GALL of the server to try to order for me. I am the CUSTOMER, so I am the one that gets to order, NOT them. The wait staff have NO RIGHT to order something for a customer, whether it is FREE or not. If a server gave me a slice of pineapple upside-down cake for free, I wouldn't want it because I HATE pineapples, so even if it's free, I would decline it. So what if it's free if I don't want it. It makes the customer feel obligated to take it. Just because it's free doesn't mean that customers want anymore, they may be full. You know that's the TRUTH. As I said above, it's NOT wasting glasswear, it's letting customers have something to drink ALL THAT TIME they are waiting for the server to come back with the drink. The customer may be eating something spicy and would like to be able to drink something while they are eating. It's NEVER wasting glasswear. I MUCH rather have a NEW glass. Especially if I am eating something messy like ribs, I want a nice clean glass for my refill because I would have probably gotten some bar-b-que sauce on the glass.

Vortex NO, it seems like the servers try to read the CUSTOMER'S minds by bringing a refill to them that they may not want. THAT'S an example of reading someone's mind. The server HONESTLY doesn't know if that customer wants another refill of coke or whatever soft drink they ordered. That is DEFINATELY trying to read someone's mind by getting things that were NEVER requested or told by the customer. Example: Let's say I order a coke and I am dining alone. My drink is finished, but honestly, I am full. So, I see the server bring me another coke without the server coming to my table to ask me or for me to tell them I want a refill. I don't even touch it. That's an example of WASTING time(for me as well as other customers), ASSUMING what a CUSTOMER wants, and WASTING products such as the coke. In this example, the server TRIED to READ MY MIND, but it didn't work, because that server was WRONG! I DON'T think ANYONE should try to read someone's mind. So, the statement you said that I think someone should read my mind is BS!

Big Momma YES, it is WAY more interesting, because it deals with my CURRENT surroundings. The war in Iraq is not affecting me. The hurricane affected my job. I care about hurricanes, because that is something that affects me. I wouldn't even know a lot about politics to talk about. I know some, but not much. I HATE watching the national news. I only like the local news. I turn the tv off when it's 5:30p.m. and the national news comes on. That's just so boring to me.

angie This is significant. The government is NOT a significant part of my life, so I don't talk about it. The government may be significant to you, but it's NOT significant to me. It is real, just like the government topic. They are ALL REAL TOPICS, just this one is MUCH MORE INTERESTING than the boring government. No thanks, I don't want to talk about government or politics. That's just BORING to me. I could care less about the government, whatever happens, happens. I am not even registered to vote. Whoever gets elected, will get elected anyway, even if I vote. I feel my (1) vote isn't going to count for much of anything. Don't say the stupid saying that "If everyone would think that way, no one would vote" crap. There are people that vote and everyone doesn't feel that way, so it doesn't hurt anybody if I don't vote, it really doesn't. I really don't care about the national news like what's happening in Iraq or something like that. I just don't care really. It doesn't interest me in the least.

angie HOW do they make good tips from the customers they ignor? They get NOTHING for ignoring me just to continue to talk. So, they may gain a dollar tip from them, which they would have gotten ANYWAY from them and LOSE a tip from the customer that is being ignored. That's STUPID. WHY NOT put a customer's order BEFORE chit-chatting? This way, EVERYONE will want to tip and wouldn't have ANY reason not to tip. It has NOTHING to do with that it is quicker, it has to do with the MY order came before that other person's beer order. So, she was rude to serve him BEFORE me. I will deal with it by giving ZERO TIP, for ZERO RESPECT. I know I am NOT the only person at the bar. That is WHY they should HURRY UP and make the drink so the bartender can be ready to make the NEXT drink for the NEXT person. They make their money by making drinks in a timely manner, not if they talk to me. I could care less if they make a conversation with me, but then when I order, serve someone else first when I am first. The tip is for GOOD SERVICE, NOT FOR CHIT-CHATTING with me. HOW is it cheap? NOBODY tips McDonald's employees for filling a cup with a soda, so WHY in the world would anyone tip a person to flip a cap off which is less work and an even faster tasks? That doesn't make ANY sense. Tip according to the amount of service. NO, they SHOULDN'T be eating or smoking on the job unless there is no work, especially the SMOKING. Smoking is NOT a necessity to live, so I am NOT sympathetic about that. I was able to eat donuts for free while I was working at the donut shop, but I STOPPED eating RIGHT AWAY to serve the customers that just walked in. I didn't continue eating and make them wait for me. That would have been SO SELFISH of me to do such a thing. BTW, I didn't get a lunch break either at the donut shop. Sometimes 8 hours straight, sometimes more, and sometimes even double shifts. I am almost 91lbs at 5'0", that's NOT fat. I can wear a size 2 dress. I have ONLY had intercourse with my husband ever, so I am NOT a whore. I waited until marriage to have sex, which I was 25 yrs old. I don't drink everyday, just on the weekend, so I am not an alcoholic. Alcoholics drink everyday or close to everyday. I don't drink like everyday or even close to everyday. NO, I am NOT jealous at ALL. I feel the bartender that takes a shot when there is a customer that is waiting to get served is being SELFISH and only thinking of HIS or HERSELF. I don't think ANYONE should have to wait for a bartender to take a shot, eat, drink, smoke, or anything BEFORE serving the customer, unless they are serving someone else at the time, that is IT. If customers are waiting to be served inside BEFORE the phone rang, the phone call should be taken AFTER the customers' request that are waiting already. If the phone stops ringing, I feel if it's important, they'll call back. If the phone call is first, then I feel the bartender should get the phone first. If the customer inside had a request BEFORE the phone started ringing, then the customer should get served BEFORE the phone is answered, unless the bartender can answer the phone and make a drink at the SAME time as talking.

CHICA NO, it's DISCOURTESY to the people BEHIND YOU that have RIGHT-OF-WAY anyway and you don't have ANY RIGHT to BLOCK THEM from going at the green light. You are not a police officer that can say not to go at a green light or not to stop a red light, so QUIT acting like one. The light is green, that means GO, plain and simple. Doing this is SO RUDE to the other people behind you and it's really ONLY THINKING of the person pulling out, so that is a SELFISH thing to do. The RIGHT thing, by LAW, is to GO at the green like you are SUPPOSE TO DO! Majority should RULE, meaning a lot of people behind you, you GO at the green light, not just think of 1 measley person at the gas station. Let them YIELD like they are suppose to do by LAW. For one thing, I don't even go if someone waves me to go, I YIELD like I am SUPPOSE TO DO. I NEVER pull in front of someone, NEVER. I am COURTEOUS to the people on the highway, that have right-of-way. So, for me, it doesn't work like that. I don't go because the person says come on. I have had a person honk on the road for me to go when I was pulling out of a Taco Bell, but I waved for them to go and I waited like I was SUPPOSE TO DO. That's the LAW and the RIGHT THING TO DO! It's NOT a courtesy, it's just RUDE to EVERYONE ELSE BEHIND YOU. Doing that is ONLY being courteous to YOU, ONLY. See, I HATE when people do that to me, so I DON'T do it to them. Treat others as you'd like to be treated. That's how things SHOULD BE! I remember one time in 2002, I was on a multi lane same direction road that had many cars in front of me at a red light. I made sure I didn't block the intersection, even when the light turned green, because the traffic where I was didn't start moving. As I almost was ready to move, this stupid truck started to act as if he was suppose to go when he still had a STOP SIGN at the intersection I didn't block. He stopped in the middle of trying to pull out as he saw I was moving like the law says I am suppose to be doing. The stupid, idiot behind me lets him in, but at least he wasn't in front of me considering he acting like he had RIGHT-OF-WAY, when he didn't, he had a STOP SIGN, which means STOP, whether it's for 2 minutes or 5 minutes, it means STOP. Just because the traffic starts moving doesn't mean the stop sign is all of a sudden not there anymore. The GALL of that person behind me even to do that, HOW RUDE. HOW RUDE of the truck to even attempt to pull out when ALL OF US on the ROAD had RIGHT-OF-WAY, NOT HIM. I made sure he KNEW I had RIGHT-OF-WAY. I did what I was suppose to do, I NEVER blocked the intersection the ENTIRE time, even when the light was green I didn't move at all until the car in front of me moved. I don't understand why he thought he could go with a stop sign and all of us having a GREEN light. That doesn't make ANY SENSE at ALL. To top it off, I was actually there before the truck even arrived, so since I was FIRST anyway, it's only fair that I went BEFORE he did.

1. When a customer has just been seated at a bar, the bartender should STOP IMMEDIATELY his or her friendly chit-chat(which is PLAYING on the job) and SERVE the customer. 2. When the bartender gets the order, that bartender SHOULD NEVER get ANYONE ELSE'S order such as a beer and serve them BEFORE they start making a mixed drink for a customer that ordered BEFORE that other person ordered. The FIRST person was FIRST, so serve them FIRST. I have had this lady bartender at a night club get my white russian order, then proceeded to the OPPOSITE side of the bar to get another person's order, which happen to be a beer and she even opened it BEFORE she even got the glass out to make my white russian. I ordered FIRST, NOT that other customer. That was just SO MEAN of her to do that. She made me stand there LONGER to serve that other customer a beer, when he ordered AFTER me. ZERO respect for going out of order, so ZERO tip. 3. Don't stop in the middle of making a customer's drink to chit-chat. If the bartender wants to talk, do it either WHILE the bartender is fixing the drink or AFTER, but don't interrupt someone's time that could be drinking their drink faster, that's just NOT right. I had a few times that happened to me. I asked for a white russian, and the lady bartender stops RIGHT in the middle of making my white russian BEFORE she poured the milk to stop completely to just chit chat. She got ZERO tip for being rude to a customer. It's HER JOB to serve the public, NOT to play around. Another time, it was around Mardi Gras time at TGIFridays. I was sitting at the bar and the guy bartender STOPS making my margarita to tell this lady customer that was sitting at the bar about mardi gras stuff. He got ZERO too for PLAYING ON THE JOB. He should be either talking WHILE he makes my drink or talk AFTERWARD, but NEVER, EVER, interrupt someone's order. That's just RUDE and SELFISH. CUSTOMER'S ORDERS COME FIRST! 4. A customer walks in, side work such as filling beers into a refrigerator or bussing the counter should be done AFTER the bartender serves the customer. This lady bartender kept putting in bottles of beer into a refrigerator instead of SERVING the customer. She got zero for putting side work first and the customer last. Customers are FIRST! 5. As far as tipping goes, I think one beer is not tip worthy. All the bartender does it undo the cap. WOW, that's SO much service, NOT! There's more work in filling a cup of soft drink at McDonalds, than taking a cap off a beer. Maybe 3 beers would be enough service for a small tip. It's not like it takes that much to pull a cap off and hand it to the customer. 6. Bartenders SHOULDN'T be taking a shot of alcohol on the job BEFORE serving someone that is waiting patiently to be served. One time a bartender took a shot of some alcohol with a customer, when I had just walked to the bar BEFORE he took the shot. He should have served me(the customer), then took his shot. CUSTOMERS COME FIRST! 7. The bartender shouldn't be making the phone a priority before the customers that are waiting to be served. So the bartender can't get to the phone, he or she is not a super woman or super man. Bartenders can only do so many things at once. If I just ordered a margarita, I shouldn't have to wait for a bartender to answer the phone instead of making my drink. He or she should either be talking on the phone WHILE he or she is making the drink or AFTER, but don't interrupt someone's order for someone else that called AFTER the person that just requested something. I find that to be rude. 8. The bartender shouldn't be making other things more important than the customer like eating or smoking. I have had both things happen to me. It's not right to make me wait for the bartender to finish eating or smoking. They should stop IMMEDIATELY to serve the customer, not to just think of THEMSELF.
