Stop making up nick names for drinks.
I don't know what a "hendog" is. Is that Hennesy or Heineken?
A lit. WTF? I get that you mean Long Island, just say it, it's loud in here!
Oh and when you say cape cod you sound like a douche bag.

Get our Attention
Shouting gets you nowhere. Snapping your fingers gets you nowhere. Slurping your drink louder then the music playing gets you no where. Screaming "EYY" gets you know where. Yelling out "Staff" because that's on the back of my shirt gets you no where. Yelling out the name on the back of my jersey (because it's bartender wears a jersey to work day) gets you no where. Waving your arms like you need to be rescued at sea gets you know where. Throwing something get you no where.
You will wait longer to get your drink so be paitent and I will be right with you.
Thanks.

Short lesson on Ash trays
Ash trays are for ashes.
Enough said!
Keep your gum, chicken bones and whatever else you crazy people like to put in ash trays out. I have to clean that and it's gross.

You're sooooo special!
Which one is the correct way to ask for discounnted drinks?
A.) What's Cheap?
B.) Do you have anything on special?
If you said B, CONGRATS you don't win a new car, but you get the right answer!
What's Cheap is you. You're bascially telling me you have no money and that every penny in the five dollars in your pocket is going straight towards getting you a drink and you are making us work for free. Awesome, I love going to work and working for nothing, don't you?!?
Asking what the specials are is just a better way of asking, I would be more then happy to tell you.
Also, lets say for fun, a type of vodka is on special. You can not modify a special. There are upcharges for extra liquor, or Redbull and even some places certain juices. Don't expect a Vodka, Peach Snapps, Triple Sec and Tequila with Redbull to be $3.00.

Home Sweet Bar
Treat your favorite watering hole, or any place for that matter, like you would treat your home. Please answer the following:
Do you eat a pile of chicken wings and leave bones all over the floor?
Do you stick gum all over the furniture at home?
Do you leave your trash all over your place?
Do you not see that trash can a foot away from where you are standing?
Do you puke all over your tables at home?
Would you want someone coming to your job or home and doing this to you? Not crying about having to clean up because that's part of having to work in a bar. But let's be honest, didn't anyone raise you better than to just leave crap everywhere and destory the place? That's not what going to a bar is. Be a good bar patron and throw your trash away.

Match maker match maker make me a match...
My job is not to go to work everynight and play Match.com. I don't send drinks, love notes or relay messages because you either A.) have no balls to get up yourself and talk to someone. or B.) are way to lazy to move to the other side of the bar. I will not find out someone's sign, or what they like to do for fun or if they are a dog person or a cat person. I don't have time for that. Slam down a double shot of courage and do it yourself. Oh! and if you want to impress the person you are picking up, leave a big tip for the bartender (just thought I'd throw that in there).
Never Leave your drink unattended
I really shouldn't have to elaborate much further than the title. But those of you that still do not get it please continue to read.
Reason why you shouldn't:
1. Male or Female - Let's face it, there are some crazy people in this world. You never know if someone was stalking you all night and was waiting for the right chance to slip something in your drink. You should even be careful asking your friends to hold your drink. Also, don't ask me to watch it because I am not responsible for what happens to it.
2. Why would you want to leave your drink alone and then when you come back your not sure which one is yours?! I mean someone could be having a herpie outbreak and might have left their herpie juice all over the cup and now you are drinking out of it. Ewww...
3. You are all the sudden mad at me because I threw it away. If I see a half empty beer or drink on the bar with no one standing there drinking it, it's going in the trash because I like a clean bar. Not to mention, at the end of the night I have throw so many full drinks away because people just leave them there. How the heck am I supposed to know if this drink is done yet.
Bottom line, just keep your drink with you like it's your little new born baby.
