Why not just call him over and politely explain that you misunderstood and that you can't afford to tip him twenty dollars and and ask him for change.

1) i assume you mean "scammed"

2) if anyone was scammed, it was the bar owner who didn't get paid for the beer.

I'm still confused. When he asked "do you want change" and you said no, were you planning to tip him $15 on a $5 beer? And you're now mad 'cuz you ended up tipping him $20 on a free beer instead? Is that the issue here or something else?

Ulysses · #16 03-07-2005, 02:31 AM

bump. I would still like some more detail as to what exactly went down here.

I go into a the local bar. I put a 20 on the bar off to the right. I drop 20 in the Video poker machine. I ask the bartender for a black and tan. He brings me a B&T ask me if I want change ( I assume for the 20 due to the fact I am playing VP) he pockets the 20.

the issue here is that you thought he meant change as in "take this 20 and break it into smaller bills" and he meant "is this my whole tip or do you want some change out of it"...and yeah, he wasn't trying to scam you...

I get it now. You thought he was asking you if you needed quarters.

OK, this is simple. Call him over and say "Excuse me, I'm sorry man, I thought you were asking me if I wanted change for video poker. I was just trying to pay for my beer."

Then he'll give you the $20 back and tell you the beer is free, at which point you ask him to break your $20 and you leave him $5.

If you don't say anything, it's nobody's fault but yours.
