This sounds completely ridiculous to me. Watering down tequila shots? I don't believe it.

I mean the bartender doing it. The OP said it was specific to this bartender since he hasn't had this with other bartenders.

I don't tend to hold bartenders in high regard. I believe it.

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.

You can't pour Guiness in one pour. Could it be that she was waiting for it to settle before she finished the pour? Also, if the bar is busy, bartenders'll pour half, wait for it to settle and do other things while they wait, and then come back and finish.

Now that I think of it regarding your tequila issue, I do think the bartender was chilling it by putting it in a shaker with ice and shaking it a bit, which will most definitely water down your tequila.

Ok, maybe I was not clear when I originally stated the problem. What I was saying was that I've never had a problem with this bar before until I had this bartender... which could mean either that the bartender is the culprit OR that the bar just didn't do anything naughty up until that day.

All I'm saying is that these shots didn't taste or feel like anything I've had before. The smell, the aftertaste, nothing.

And it sucked.

Nah it was fully poured with the yummy foam layer on top. It was sitting there lonely wanting to be consumed and my telekinetic Jedi powers were not working. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Is that a typical practice? That could very well explain it.

p.s. After all this trouble, I still tipped her like 30% because she forgot to charge us for the last two beers and we kept getting refills of chips and salsa from our "spinach dip" appetizer because the chips and salsa are free and you only get charged for the spinach dip lol.
