Good thing your manager is behind you when you are teaching them manners . You can have a bit of fun and get rid of the worst of them.

SC: I’ll have a scotch on the rocks.
He turned around to his friends and started giggling and high fiving, clearly very proud of what he had asked for. I give him the drink.
SC: What’s this? I didn’t ask for ice!
Me: You asked for scotch on the rocks. Don’t you know what rocks are?
SC: No.
Me: It’s ice.
SC: But I don’t take ice with my drinks. Also, can you top it up with coke? I hate neat whiskey.
I bit my tongue, because I nearly yelled “GET OUT!”
How you can resist the urge to just drink it right in front of him at that point, I cannot imagine.

Idiots, the lot of them.

Quoth customersruinmylife View PostCW is restocking the napkins and straws. Bratty boy picks up the holder right in front of her and dumps the contents all over the floor. He stands there with a big smile.
SC: I think you need to clean this up.I am heading back to the bar. I have four large stacks of glasses. An SC decides to kick a chair into my path.
SC: Try and pick that up with all those glasses in your hands!
Seriously, at my absolute worst as a teen -- and I'll admit, I could get pretty bad -- I would never bepettyan asshole to someone whose job is to serve me!
Manager was getting really angry. She actually encouraged us to be horrible to these kids. She said we had to treat them proper etiquette.
SC: HOW MUCH? I’M A STUDENT! I CAN’T AFFORD THIS!
SC: You’re an idiot.
I had a major headache at the end of my shift.

Little shit orders whiskey straight then goes "Oh I don't like my whiskey straight"?
Fuck the little blithering numbskull. THE ONLY WAY TO DRINK WHISKEY IS TO DRINK IT STRAIGHT.My Writing Blog -Updated 05/06/2013
It's so I can get ideas out of my head, I decided to put it in a blog in case people are bored or are curious as to the (many) things in progress.

No, no, I'll grant him not drinking it straight. I mean, I can (when I'm allowed to again...), but I'd rather not. It's like a kick in the teeth either way.
But in either case, his bigger problem was the fact that he had no idea what he was ordering. That should've lost him his drink right there.

Quoth customersruinmylife View PostSC: OHMYYYYYYYYYYYYYGAAAWWWWWWDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!
He hands me the I.D while murmuring “I can’t fucking believe this!”
Me: OK, you were 18 two days ago…
SC: Yeah.
Me: You are 18 years and two days old. We I.D people who look under 25. Get used to being asked for proof of age.
SC: Just shut the fuck up and get me my drink.
Look pointedly at ID, then say, "Listen, Johnny DuSchnozzle of 123 Douchebag Lane, unless you apologize RIGHT NOW, we will not only toss you out, we will also contact your parents and let them know how you behave in public establishments!"
If the ID happens to be a college or university ID, extend the threat to include having a word with the administration of the school.

I can forgive a new drinker not knowing what "rocks" are. I can't forgive the willful ignorance displayed by not asking the expert bartender.

BAD GUY: "But you said you'd kill me last."
ARNIE: "I lied."
At which point Arnie throws the guy off a cliff and you just hear him screaming all the way down. Too bad, so sad.

Quoth KiaKat View PostUnless it's an overproof Bourbon that requires either ice or water to release the aromatics from their ethilords. Or Scapa 16. That particular scotch shows beautifully with a few ice chips.
Quoth KiaKat View PostOr unless you're making a brilliant Manhattan or Sazarac.
Quoth KiaKat View PostMeh, my tolerance is pretty good, but I love a great classic cocktail.
(For those who don't want to read the linked reviews, suffice to to say that these two rums are two of the most premier sipping rums in existence, with each retailing for about $300 a bottle. These are the kinds of rums that I jokingly tell guests that if anyone ever ordered it with Coke, BY LAW, I would have to punch them in the face.)

Not every bartender is allowed to drink on the job. I myself work at a bar that used to allow it, but no longer does, other than small samplings to familiarize ourselves with product. Product knowledge is important, after all.
