I have a 9-5 office job and work in a bar on weekends...

Working last night @ my bartending job...

Customer: What's the cheapest thing you have?

Me (knowing this isn't going to be pretty) : Nothing

Customer (too stupid to understand sarcasm) : What's the cheapest thing you have?

Me (already aggravated) : NOTHING, air......a coke.

Dipshit: How much is a coke?

Me (face getting red) Two bucks

Cheap bastard: Gimmie a coke.

I pour him a coke, packing the glass with ice.

Most annoying guy on Earth: How much is a basic drink?

Me: trying desperately to fine another customer that needs something: $7.

Guy who's going to get bitch-slapped @ any second: What if you put some rum in here?

Me (debating on how much damage I could do to this ass clown buy lifting a keg over my head like it was the Stanley Cup and dropping it on his head) $7.

Guy who has seconds to live: How 'bout a beer?

Me: (Trying to find the knife I use to cut fruit so I can slit my wrists) $4.

We stare @ each other for a second.

He sips his coke.

I walk down to the other end of the bar regretting not going to college...

$7 bucks for a drink?

Ahhhhhhhhh ... it's a strip club

 

[digimon7068]

i live in the sticks. . .if you charged someone $7 for a rum and coke here, they'd slit your wrists for you. . .economies of scale, yo.

 

[FuzzyGophar]

I've been places that charged $17 for a vodka tonic and $9 for bottled domestics.

Vegas

 

[FuzzyGophar]

It was South Beach but I'm sure places like Vegas are absurd as well.

 

[Captain FT]

I was thinking $7 is pretty good for a rum and coke

 

[lander2312]

& dollars isnt bad...noramlly around here a well drink runs 5-7 and top shelf runs 7-9. So not too bad. If you have to ask that many questions on how much....prob means you cant afford it.

 

[HAYEZ]

20 for a rum and coke in south beach is normal...round of shots for a few bitcches 150.00 tryign to get hammered 400...
my min drinking bill alone uusually 200+

 

[nimbus]

why didn't you just tell him the cheapest drink?

since you dont pay any of your other bills this is actually your only monthly expense bwahahah

 

[the_clockwork]

this could have been all avoided with a simple answer or give him a water for free

 

[redshirt27se]

why didn't you just tell him the cheapest drink?

this.


if he's a cheap bastard you have to deal with him once.. might as well just get it over with. instead you make yourself look like a douche.

whats up with the jacket? you trying to live out happy days again?

 

[stosstruppe]

why didn't you just tell him the cheapest drink?

Too busy thinking what a hard man he was instead of giving him the cheapest drink & moving on a potentially more prosperous patron.

Ya, I was the one who looked like a douche

 

[nangiggles]

Well uhmmmmm even now u still look a little like a douche bro....

 

[AAP]

Try $18 for a vodka and cranberry in Stockholm that had exactly 1 oz vodka in it. Electronic measured on the bar.

 

[lweaver]

Fucked up...

Out here in the boonies, a mixed drink is 2.50-4.00, a domestic is 1.50-2.00, and hell we have 75 cent pint nights...

Would never pay more than 4 bucks for a brew unless it was craft.

Anyway, if he didn't want to pay for a drink...he shouldnt have gone to a bar.

 

[trex74]

just promo some shots and everyone's happy

You're a bartender. When someone asks you about drinks, you should answer them. It's not even about him necessarily, it's about anyone near him who might have seen you being rude to a customer. Whenever you work in customer service, you bite your tongue.

I'm not a bartender, it's a part time job on weekends. I wasn't rude to anyone....and I could write a book on customer service/professionalism...

 

[nimbus]

so what's the cheapest drink y'all have?

 

[bigmann245]

I've been places that charged $17 for a vodka tonic and $9 for bottled domestics.

do they taste better than places that sell them for $5 and $3.50????

£8 for a pint of lager in Norway, fucking joke.

 

[Whiskey]

every bar here, every thursday has $1 domestic, 0.50 draft.
mixed is usually 1.50-2.00

I love the midwest. That's the only part of Cali i don't miss
