    Wow. Glad you're outta there IatLQ. Hope you find something to replace it soon.

    I was fortunate enough to work an incredibly popular/successful bar at one time. Every once in a while someone who thought that they were entitled to all the hand-holding money can buy for the price of a drink would materialize. Big difference was we were never empty. They'd expect it after waiting four deep at the bar, with the same behind them! "What do you have?" "Alcohol." "But what kiiiiiiinnnnnnnddddd?" Menu got placed in front of them, "I'll be back in a few." Turn to literally dozens of others who have used their waiting time to, you know, make up their minds.
    Boss man was one of those few who was perspicacious enough to realize that the chances of that kind of customer spending enough to make up for the lost revenue of all the customers behind them were slim to none.

        Jesus! You have the patience of a saint! If that had been a customer in my pub I would have told him to shove it after the first remark!

          I'd simply have taken out a bottle of water before he even started his blathering and said "Here ya go!"
          I had been thinking the same thing.

          If he balks at having the bottle brought out before he orders, reply that you always do this for regulars and people who have made themselves memorable to the staff, and that EVERYONE in the establishment knows him now.

            Usually these types fall into one of two categories in my experience:

            - Very low on the totem pole at their jobs, so they act like assholes to service workers in order to feel empowered.

            - Inherited a bunch of money at a relatively early age, maybe run some business they hardly pay attention to, and thus think they're the king of the world and can get people to bow down to them because they're so awesome.

              Love it! Of course he'd probably demand that you go through the whole menu with him anyway, by implying that this time he was going to get something different.



              Or hire a minder/reader to go everywhere with you ... even perhaps a guardian ... ?
              I'm betting the first time someone gives him the water first, he'll insist on buying something else just to be an asshat.

                Then the bar will make more money or he will walk out without buying anything. A win/win situation .

                  When he walked into the bar I thought, "Oh, that guy. I deal with them all the time." But then I read further and realized that no, no I don't. See, at my job, the people who walk into a place with that kind of fanfare actually fucking drink. This guy was just a total fuckwad asshot dickpole.

                  As for insisting you come over while you have a tray full of glasses? Fuck that. I DO deal with shit like that all the time. It usually goes something like this....

                  JESTER: "I'll be with you in just a few moments."4
                  SC: "I just need a Jack and coke and a--"
                  JESTER: "I'll be with you in a few moments."

                  And I take care of whatever I was taking care of. I often wonder what part of "a few moments" these idiots don't understand.

                  I am certainly glad I didn't deal with this asshole, because I am not known for suffering fools like him gladly.

                      Delta and Eirann, I wish I had thought of your ideas on the spot!! Genius!!! Don't you wish you could just put an SC on pause and get some excellent ideas from everyone on the boards?

                      I agree, it's probably for the best that he wasn't drinking alcohol, or the suck would likely become overwhelming.

                        Problem is, if I could put SC's on pause..they would never be unpaused. Just leave em there and forget about em.

                                Note that if you are unable or unwilling to read, its the same result. You're illiterate. Doesn't matter if you can read, if you can read but refuse to read, you're still illiterate.
                                No. If you CAN'T read, you're illiterate, but if you CAN read, but DON'T WANT TO read, you are aliterate.

                                This guy seems to be the aliterate jerkwad type.
