The bars are always full of bullshit artists, that goes without saying. One of the worst of the bullshit artists is the "I am looking in my wallet for your tip" artist. This particular species likes to get his drink then look into his wallet waiting for you (the bartender) to turn away to take care of another customer or do something where you wont be looking at directly at him. He will then proceed to run like a little school girl who walked in on her teacher kissing the janitor. It's bad enough when you don't tip but do you really have to act like you are going to give a tip and then run away like a little baby? I would prob have more respect (not really) for someone who just out right does not tip. The idiots who think this trick works also think that they get alcohol in their drinks the rest of the night too. They then wonder why the bartender rather make all her/his singles and fives face the same way then take care of them again. I guess when you see a bartender doing his BS acting (arranging bills) its cause you did your BS acting (looking in your wallet for a tip).

Not tipping on a buy back or a free drink is not just plain wrong it should be against the law and is most definatively a sin. It's assholes that don't tip on buy backs that ruin it for everyone else, cause when a bartender doesn't get tipped on a buy back, they then wonder why bother at all with buy backs or free drinks. Does it not make any sense that if you are supposed to tip on a drink you pay for, you should then show some appreciation for a free one? This is like some sort of alien philosophy to some people. If you just saved the price of a drink ($4 - $8) then tip $2 you would have still tipped $1 why not throw an extra buck to say thanks for saving me money.... you cheap fuck. Don't be a sinner and sacrifice that dollar to the bartender gods, otherwise you will get crappy drinks and slow service and that's a guaranteed.

Now the only exception to the rule is if you get a free drink you didn't ask for. In that case its OK not to tip because he no one ever said they should pay for something they didn't ask for, but then it would still be a nice gesture to leave something :).

Here is a few tips about happy hour.

When its buy one get one free... do I need to spell it out for you its BUY one get one free, not GET one free then buy one. Pay for your fucking drinks and then ask for the free one. I don't understand people who ask for a drink during happy hour , don't pay for it then ask for the free one. I mean you expect a free and free happy hour?

Usually when its buy one get one free it is not so that you can buy one and give the free one to someone else (you cheap bastards), it is for you and your friend to both buy one and both get one free, so that you can both get wasted. Stop living like you are a European collage student staying at hostels and living off bread and refilling your nasty water bottle.

Also ....TIP ON THE BUY BACK !!!! you're getting a free drink show some appreciation and help the bartender pay her/his rent.

Long Island Ice Tea... what can be said about being an amature other then ... you're an amature. Long Island Ice teas should only be ordered under certain conditions.

1: You have limited funds and require getting fucked up from a few drinks.

2: You a crappy life and wish to not be sober in order to not deal with it.

3: Your special someone is gone and you need to be a drunken idiot about it (we've al been there)

4: You are an amature and think its kool to drink something that will get you wasted and not able to function if you have too many of them.

The worst kind of people who order LITs are the idiots who actually say " Long Island Ice Tea... and make it strong" Do you even know that there is only a splash of coke, a splash sour mix and a splash of lime juice in a LIT? Besides that it's FIVE liquors I mean its a strong drink to begin with, you can make it stronger by leaving the splashs out. If you like puking all over bathroom floors and then having your friends make excuses of how YOU "are just wasted" then by all means drink that crap. But if you like to hang out for longer then two hours and having some sort of conversation with people then stop being an amature and pick a real drink.

I don't know about you but I figured out along time ago that when I go into any bar, and I mean ANY BAR all I had to do to see what beers are sold at that place was to look somewhere behind the bartender on the wall or on top of all the liquor bottles. There is usually a bunch of beer bottles standing there representing what they have, anyplace that has too many beers to place them all probably has a huge chalk board with a list of their beers saying "Every beer in the world" as the title.

I mean come on who are these morons that keep coming up to the bar and asking " what kinda beers do you have here?" are they also going up to McDonald's and asking "what sort of food do you have here?" have these idiots been to the few urban myth bars where they keep the list of available beers locked down in the basement in a hidden vault only to be taken out when the right password has been given? Get a fucking clue already.

OK, whats the deal with these morons ordering Apple Martinis and Mojitos lately? Do these people pick up the "Drinks People Drink" issue of Time Out Magazine and pick out the Flavor of the Day that they are going to annoy the bartenders with this weekend? Come on what happened to the good old standards? Vodka tonic, Jack and coke, Gin and tonic, Vodka cranberry or Rum and coke ( and its not a "cuba libre, its a RUM AND COKE!!!) The majority of the time these tools don't even know what the hell is in these drinks to begin with.

These fucking drinks are total marketing drinks made up to sell a specific alcohol and these idiots line up for the idiot medals. Come on guys get a clue and also don't order these drinks any place but your stereo typical shi shi SOHO type bar, unless you want the bartender looking at you funny and wondering how much your mommy and daddy pay for your rent.
