http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=2085903&page=1&CMP=OTC-RSSFeeds0312you guys that bitch about tipping bartenders....make sure you read the section on how bartenders will scam you. This is how the industry is. This is what is going on behind the bar at your favorite sports bar or your downtown nightclub and you have no clue it's even going on.[Edited on June 17, 2006 at 4:16 AM. Reason : ...]

hahaha, which bar pissed you off? the stuff in that story happens very very rarely.
6/17/2006 4:18:16 AM
i dont know man... i think it happens more often than you imagine.maybe not to you, because you're not stupid.but theres always a few drunk, obnoxious fools out there, ready and waiting for some annoyed bartender to double charge.
6/17/2006 4:30:44 AM
whats really good is if you can find someone having a party at playmakers and put like 4 drinks and 2 jager bombs on itthat shits free

^^^ yeah i know it never happens to me, hahaha. but im saying i worked in the foodservice industry for ages, and i saw lots of dumb shit happen. but the stuff listed there doenst happen much at all.
6/17/2006 2:04:04 PM
As far as the shorting on the liquor that probably only happens in tourist traps. Any bar I spend a great deal of time in I would certainly wonder why the fuck I am completely sober after 3-4 drinks.
6/17/2006 2:07:57 PM
6/17/2006 2:37:42 PM
^wow. i'm a bartender. and i've never seen either of those things happen. i'm not saying it doesn't happen, but maybe you should choose the places you drink at a little more carefully. really though, i know a lot of bartenders and i doubt any of them have done anything that shady. Of course, there are the bastards that treat us like we are beneath them... and you can't blame someone for wanting to retaliate. And stiffing your bartender is a slap in the face, just like it would be to a waiter, we aren't paid that much /hour. It varies place to place, but mostly only a little more than a server.

That article had some extremes. Straining the cigarette butts out of Hollandaise? I don't know. The part about replacing top shelf with Aristocrap was interesting though. But seriously, if you are concerned about getting a fair shake with drinks, get a bottled beer. Learned that with Rum Runners. I'd see the bartender pouring some kind of alcohol, but it must have been alcohol flavored water. After 3 rum and coke's in about a half hour, I ordered a damn Bud Light and said, "Oh, I remember now, this is what a buzz is like."
6/19/2006 2:12:44 AM
whenever i get my drinks from the secondary bar at rumrunners, i always get strong ones.
6/19/2006 2:20:27 AM
so basically, if you have a ton of money, you could like be king of a barshit i'd give the bar tender like a 50 dollar bill and be like whats up?
6/19/2006 3:27:27 AM
yeah i hate how bars always use aristocrap

I stopped doing tabs, I had dealt with more than enough shares of more drinks added on to my tab and I have to drive downtown to get it fixed. I just pay in cash and tip in cash.
6/19/2006 11:31:25 AM
even drunk id notice that shit, they cant fool me.
6/19/2006 11:41:12 AM
Depends, once my tab gets justifiably over $100 I dont think I would notice them fucking around. Anything less than $50 I can kind of keep track of in my head (and am in a better position to).
6/19/2006 11:47:22 AM
im not that big of a drunk luckily (and im not that generous to my friends)
6/19/2006 11:53:36 AM
where do you bartend at Jello???you are only 21....once you have been a bartender at multiple places you will see it eventually.Almost any downtown bar b/c usually bartenders downtown have been bartending for quite a few years, they know how to make their $500 a night.
6/19/2006 1:54:31 PM
I HAVE BEEN WORKING DOWNTOWN FOR SOME TIME NOW AND I SURE AS HELL DON'T MAKE $500 A NIGHT NOR DO I KNOW ANYONE ELSE WHO DOES AND I WORK AT ONE OF THE BUSIEST BARS DOWNTOWN...I MEAN WE ALL PULL SOME SHADY STUFF BUT NOT THAT SHADY!!
6/19/2006 3:07:24 PM
6/19/2006 3:08:37 PM
I COULDN'T SEE IT HAPPENING AT ANY OF OUR PLACES.....THE OWNERS RUN A PRETTY TIGHT SHIP.....IF THE BARTENDERS WERE STEALING THAT MUCH MONEY FROM THE RESTURANT THEN MANAGEMENT WOULD SURELY FIND OUT AND HAVE IN PREVIOUS CASES....

6/19/2006 5:28:46 PM
my policy is to not drink at bars enough for this to be much of an issue
6/19/2006 6:51:03 PM
haha, i tipped a bartender $10 on a $15 tab the weekend before last... and i have no idea why
6/19/2006 7:09:39 PM
^That's not that big of a deal.
6/19/2006 7:28:48 PM
only 66%
6/19/2006 7:40:25 PM
It was only a $15 dollar drink tab. You might have tipped more than the average drinker...but a bartender wouldn't take a second look at that receipt.
6/19/2006 7:56:12 PM
I was refering to the way alcohol is poured behind the bar, not scamming credit cards (that is def something very dumb to do). Jello said she had never seen any of this stuff in her bartending career:
6/20/2006 3:54:12 AM
6/20/2006 9:29:42 AM
wow I never want to spend money at a bar again. what a pathetic sector of society bartenders and waitresses are.
