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

It's just so hard to imagine a bartender, in a crowded bar, setting out two shot glasses, pouring a little water in each, then topping each off with tequila. If you're saying that the bottle(s) of tequila was(were) watered down, I can accept that. But as had been stated, unless the bartender was the owner I don't see what the upside would be.

You can't let a woman push you around. I'd be all like "Bitch, pour that drink right, then get in the kitchen and make me some waffles"

Maybe the bottle was watered down and the bartender didn't (or did) know about it? If I phrased the problem politely enough maybe I could have gotten a new bottle opened or something. Who knows.

To the other poster who mentioned drinks being poured in front of you: no, that doesn't seem to be the case down here (Miami). Sometimes I do see the bartender mix a drink or pour a glass of wine for someone right in front of them, but most of the time, at various places, I ask for a drink a short bit later the bartender shows up with the drink.

Only places I've consistently seen drinks poured 2 feet from me are at clubs.

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

[/ QUOTE ]

This should not factor in, ladies are nice, but quality booze> the one lady who might hear.

I would be really friendly with the bartender then make a "come hither" gesture and say something like
"Hey do you know if this place waters the tequilla down or something? Seems like there's not much kick. Would you reccomend something?"

Make it you and her against "the bar". Plus if she's doing it herself she'll get the hint.

it was this, combined with the effort to make a gag-account named Cartman with avatar. I like Cartman and can hear him say this.

That happened with me too, saw the avatar and read the lines with Cartman's voice.

If it's a problem with only the one bartender, and you are a regular at the bar, why not speak to the manager privately about it?

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.

[/ QUOTE ]
If you're shot is cold, she's shaking it with ice. Ask for it neat, or straight up.

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?

[/ QUOTE ]
In my bar - yes, customers who go behinde the bar are shown the door.

No, because you’d probably give my security guys a hard time about being put out and be given an “alley pull”
