Bad vs. Good Bartending Service

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.

The world according to Lords. Skeery shit.

Lords you must really like getting beaten up on message boards because you post this stupid shit all over the internet. Then when you get beaten you flee and start another STUPID post like this.

Your ideas of how servers should perform are ludicrous, as many people have told you. We keep telling you that these servers probably all know you aren't going to tip so they make sure to take care of their tipping customers before you.

Do the service world a favor and learn how to cook. You're a moron and must have been severely damaged at some point in your childhood. Stop taking it out on the world.

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.

This is how bartenders make money. They get thier customers drunk, talk them up, and get better tips.

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.

ZERO respect for going out of order, so ZERO tip.

Cry me a fucking river you goddamn primadonna!! You are NOT the only person in the bar, and it is quicker for them to open a beer than make your fat ass a prissy white russian. Deal with it.

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.

Again, you are not the only person in the bar, and that's how they make money.

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!

If they don't finish restocking, you don't get a cold beer when they run out because they had to stop and wait on your demanding pathetic self.

You are a cheap bitch. Do the world a favor and buy a six pack and STAY HOME!!

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!

YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMER! You are simply jealous because nobody wants to take a shot with you because you are such an unbearable bitch.

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.

Tell their manager that they can ignore the phone to wait on you. That'll go over real well.

Bartenders don't get lunch breaks. I think you can wait another 45 seconds for your drink, you fat assed alcoholic attention whore. The world does not revolve around you. Apparently you still haven't gotten that. I suggest you seek therapy. Obviously mommy and daddy didn't pay enough attention to you.

angie

They get thier customers drunk, talk them up, and get better tips.

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 is quicker for them to open a beer than make your fat ass a prissy white russian. Deal with it.

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.

Again, you are not the only person in the bar, and that's how they make money.

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.

You are a cheap bitch.

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.

I think you can wait another 45 seconds for your drink, you fat assed alcoholic attention whore.

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.

You are simply jealous because nobody wants to take a shot with you because you are such an unbearable bitch.

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.

Tell their manager that they can ignore the phone to wait on you. That'll go over real well.

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.

You petty, selfish, self centered, egotistical, demanding, bitch.

Your egocentrism nauseates me. Your gripes are petty at best. Try griping about something REAL, like the government. You have done NOTHING but whine about how servers don't kiss your corn-infested athlete's foot ridden rotting feet. NOT ONE SINGLE POST has been about anything significant. It's all about YOU. And how YOU don't get the attention you need. How people aren't courteous of YOU. Nobody gives a shit. Do the world a favor and don't leave your house. Nobody wants to deal with your egomania.

angie

NOT ONE SINGLE POST has been about anything significant.

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.

Tartar sauce, ranch dressing and waiting a few extra seconds and people going "out of turn" is more interesting and important to you than world events, politics or the war in Iraq?

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.

Oh that's right because it doesn't revolve around YOU. And I'm sick of hearing the "My vote doesn't count shit"

But see, your vote DOES make a difference.

You are just one vote, this is true. HOWEVER: If there are 5 million people out there that think just like you do, saying "My vote doesn't count I'm not going to bother" that is 5 MILLION VOTES NOT IN THE BALLOT!

In the 2004 Presidential Election, here is how the votes were divided:

Popular Vote

Bush: 62,040,606

Kerry: 59,028,109

Electoral Votes

Bush: 286

Kerry: 251

Difference in popular vote: 3, 012,497

Difference in electoral votes: 35

So maybe if all those "my vote doesn't count people" had gotten off their rears and to the ballots, there would have been a different outcome.

So people starving in this country and around the world, people fighting wars and dying in them around the world, and governments' successes and failures in these areas are less important to you than tartar sauce and other shitty comdiments, and service in dive restaurants? How you perceive yourself to be treated is more important than anything in this world?

Wow.

Jesus Christ you're a nag.

I sure as Hell hope you haven't reproduced. I'd pity the poor kid. Fuck, you'd have an answer for everything, wouldn't you?

My main complaint is that not only are your posts now sounding like The Mother-In-Law From Hell...

You're never funny,

Here, have some neg rep, you worthless bag of shit.
