String Ordering

String ordering – Verb- To order a lot of drinks one by one as each are made.


So this is probably in the top 5 biggest pet peeves bartenders have. It's a little bit more than just a pet peeve. In fact, we hate this and we hate you if you do this to us. It really makes us want to drop coconut covered tootsie rolls in your drink so you never come back an order from us again (coconut covered tootsie rolls = cat sh!t). So here is the deal. Most of the time it takes a while for someone to be promoted to the bar, most of the time bar owners and managers tend to hire people with experience. With that said, bartenders are kind of professionals behind there. So, just order everything you need when you need it, we do have the mental capacity to remember 5-6 drinks at a time. Don't tell me you need another corona after I have already run and got you one. Don't order more drinks after you have paid and expect me to come right back to you. Now you have to wait because handing your money over is the sign for "I have everything I need; now I want to pay you for it." There are other people waiting also, so do everyone a favor: order everything you need when it is your turn AND point out all the string ordering people so we can make them wait longer.


Editors note: Not all bartenders can be winners, that's why I used the word "most"
