The 12 Service Thungs You Should Do At A Bar

A bartender's perspective

12. Don't sit at bar service area

That little latch on the bar is meant for the bartenders to move I and out of. If he or she asks you to move. Don't just take a small step to the side, actually clear the area.

11. Don't flirt with the pretty formal bartender

Everyone is already doing and it's very annoying. You'll probably have a better chance being polite and tipping well.

10. Don't touch the bartender

Ever, for any reason.

9. Don't order from the busboy.

Occasionally the bartender needs to leave the bar and venture out. This is not an opportunity to order a drink from them while they're doing other work.

8. Music requests

Let the bartender just play his own music list.

7. Don't order glasses of water you're not going to drink

It takes time to pour the and it sucks bussing full glasses if water.

6. Don't take fruit from the bar

Would you like it if everyone else in the bar stuck their hands in the garnish tray?

5. Bartenders don't want to cut you off

They on,y will if they have to. They want the money! But that just shows how wasted you are...

4. Don't order birthday shots

That's all.

3. Closing your tab

When asked for the last name on your card, don't reply with"it's a red mastercard" or "john." The bar has a way of organizing the cards, you're not saving anyone time but saying anything other than you full name.

2. Tip $1 a beer $2 a mixed drink

If it takes more than a minute to make the drink you should tip $2. Otherwise $1 per drink... But if you're paying by credit card, make it 20%

1. Throw up only in the toilet

Not the urinal or floor! Defiantly not the urinal... The bartend has to clean that up! I
