"I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire"

[SCfuji]

if waitress B is new i think you shouldve looked at things from her viewpoint. she wouldnt know you were a special regular customer and was probably just trying to do her job. but later on i think shes just trying to be an ass because you talked down to the 'princess b1tch'.

About two weeks later I'm there to celebrate a friend's birthday and I buy him and some other friends a shot. Then later the birthday boy asks me to do a shot w/ him and at the end of the night when I ask Waitress B for my tab, I see that the second shots are on my tab also. I didn't even want to do those shots (it was a White Rabbit--Jim Beam and milk) so I also didn't want to pay for them.

this strikes me as cheap, especially considering it is your friends bday. also, try carrying some cash with you, it is liberating!

I stopped reading at the part where you made a huge scene about being billed for a couple of shots that you shared with a friend ON HIS BIRTHDAY.

Jesus.

The fact that you dont have a * for this post is damn near miraculous. Mayhaps Astro hasnt gotten around to his daily culling.

Call in the morning-time and complain you had a really terrible waitress to the manager.

You've got your panties in a bunch because a waitress wants either cash or a credit card when you order a drink?

Because of past history, to her you're a worse risk than a total stranger, not to mention the guy who "wouldn't piss on her if she was on fire".

So yeah, try to get her fired or something.

So, at what point is the waitress just being a b*tch?

I play pub poker at the same place every week for months now. Not only have I never walked out on a tab, but twice I have paid tabs of friends who accidently walked out on their tabs. Sometimes they ask for a credit card nowadays, but mostly they never bother.

Recently, I got a new waitress, I ordered a beer, she asked for a credit card. I told her that I actually was just having one beer tonight, so didn't want to run a tab. She leaves, and comes back, with a reciept, and asks me to pay for the beer.

Note that I did not say that she brought the beer. No, she just brought the receipt and wanted me to PREPAY for my beer. I responded that this was unacceptable, and when she hands me a beer, I will be glad to hand her some money. Seriously has anyone had this one happen to them? It still concerns me to this day. The only "prepay" diner or bar I have ever been in would be "McDonalds," and I'm thinking the rules are valid in being a little different there...

Fortunately I know most of the waitresses table areas, so I simply avoid her area now.

FYP (from a bar owner's perspective)

To Tyler: (again same perspective)

The bar and the waitstaff aren’t banks – it’s not their job to loan you money or extend credit. You’ve walked out on tabs on more than one occasion. If you did this even once at my bar, regular or not, the staff would be instructed to get a credit card.

You’re lucky they don’t make you pay as you go.

It just raises my hackles when bar customers do something whiney or stupid and then try to justify it with the “but I’m a regular” excuse.

you had a lot of opportunities to save the situation but you messed them all up by being angry and feeling bad for yourself.

TD - let's assume that this waitress IS being vengeful/spiteful. Are you really worked up about this? I honestly can't imagine anyone I know caring about this particular situation at all.

You still go to your favorite bar all the time, a majority of the staff loves you, and 1 random waitress asks you for a credit card occasionally instead of letting you settle up at the end of the night... and this petty act of "revenge" bothers you? Dude, she's a waitress at some bar. You placed 126th in the 2004 WSOP (I'm assuming Main Event). Have some perspective.

Do you want to bang this girl or something? Maybe that's what's going on.
