Don't they pour the shot in front of you?

No... she went off, poured the tequila and came back. Only thing I saw her pour was the Guinness because it comes out of the little machine which was right in front of me.

I also saw her pour my Guinness, walk off, and pass by the pint about 6 times before finally giving it to me 5 minutes later after I had to get her attention.

Question 1: Would I get kicked out of the bar or barked at by the manager if after 5 minutes of staring at my lonely pint I just got up, walked around the bar, grabbed it, and came back to my seat?

Question 2: Would all the chicks who saw me do that totally want me afterward?

I agree with CCovington, double check that she's making them neat/straight up. If the problem continues after that, then she's left you only one recourse: don't tip.

This could possibly happen on a bar-wide scale, but I don't see how/why one bartender would be doing this. What's in it for her (besides a lousy tip)? Don't the bartenders all pour from the same bottles?

1)No.
3)No. Well, if they do, it's not because of this.

I assumed you meant that the place was watering down the tequila in the bottle. I've been to some bad bars before but I can't imagine someone actually watering down a shot when they pour it.

I just meant the contents of the glass not being 100% tequila... whether it was watered down in the bottle or after being poured - whatever. It wasn't some crappy obscure place or anything.

Then use that to segue into asking about her sexuality. Then SIIHP. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

"Oh my... that guy's got some huge balls just walking around the bar and getting his own drink. I wonder if his dick is just as big? Let's go talk to him!"

The bars I worked at had rules regarding this. Customer goes behind bar - customer gets kicked out.
