#bar backing

I'm bringing back earnestly blogging in 2024. There are things and opinions I want to voice, and I've decided Tumblr is the perfect space to do so.

I waitressed tonight at the bar and some guy came is totally schmoozing up a potential client. I mean he was really pushing it, at one point I had to go over to the table to remind him that there are waitresses here to do their job and he doesn't have to keep taking their orders and walking up to the bar to order for them.

So I walk over there to take drink orders and the guy ends up ordering for everyone. Like he looked around like he was waitressing and was like: "do we need waters? Jeff let me get you a beer you want beer too John?!?" At this point I realize he is too far gone and there is simply nothing I could have done or said to wake his ass up, so I just take the order and go get the drinks.

Well, he didn't order enough to make the minimum payment so I couldn't run his card but I felt bad going back over there to stress him out even more so I paid for the drinks with the loose cash in my pocket and kept it pushing.

Well, the guy apparently owned another bar in town and tipped me $20 and made a big deal talking about "I'm in the industry...Let me tip you, I know how this goes" Like dude, it wasn't that big of a deal plus I get 50% of drinks since I work there so the total was less than $4 for both of the beers.
