Hello all! I am compiling a list of tips that will help you understand what it is like for those people that work in the service industry and how to act accordingly when you go out in public. Since there is a lot to cover, I will break them down into shorter blogs that stay on one topic. So be sure to keep checking back....because you could be that douche bag that gets talked about at the end of the night or who we make wait longer for drinks.
Our first topic will be:
Have Your Money Ready.
There is nothing worse than an impatience person standing at the bar flagging you (you=bartender/server) down, ordering a drink and then spending the next 5 minutes after your drink(s) is already made scrabbling to get your money together. Seriously? You just made a big deal to get served fast and efficient...now you just slowed me up because you don't have yourself together. There are 20 other people just like you slowing me down. So the next time you complain about fast service, think to yourself: Could YOU possibly be the reason it takes a little bit longer to get a drink. Take this scenario for example:
Joe and 3 of his buddies go out to the bar. Joe kindly tells his friends that he is going to buy the first round. We have 2 draft beers, rum and coke and a vodka red bull. We will assume beer is $5, rum and coke (rail which is cheaper) $5 and Vodka red bull AT LEAST $9 (depending on the vodka of course). So at this point while you are waiting for drinks, take the time to do a little guesstimate of what the first round will cost. 5+5+5+9=24 So Have $30 ready, because it could be a few dollar price difference and you need to tip. Problem solved and you just got your drinks faster and you made someone's night a little bit easier.
