I feel like some people have no idea how to behave when they sit at the bar.
Yes, I'm there to serve. That's my job and that is why you will be leaving me a percentage of how much you've spent.
However, that doesn't mean that you are the only person who has requested a drink from me. See the thirty other people sitting around the bar? At some point in the last two minutes or so more than a few of them have emptied their glass and are looking for a refill.
So when you mosey up to the bar and yell for me to get you a beer, you're going to have to wait a bit.
I did hear you. You know, when I repeat your order and say something like "I'll get that for you in just a minute." it should be an indicator that I understood your request and will make your Old Grandad and Ginger in a minute after I pour four beers and make a frozen virgin pina colada.
It doesn't mean that the service is slow. It means that the bar is busy.
You are sitting across from where I'm working. Do you see me picking my ass and ignoring my guests? No. So please, don't mumble at me things like "I might have to take my business across the street if I can't get my drink faster than that."
20% is what I think I deserve. My service is consistent and I work as fast as my body can move while I'm on the clock. Please don't sit at my bar, act like a jerk and then not tip me. I will remember your face and I will ask someone else to serve you the next time you come in.
