CORY SCHNEIDER IS FAR MORE MENTALLY STABLE THAN LUONGO AND CAN HANDLE THE PRESSURES OF GOALTENDING IN VANCOUVER

Joke's on you; I have tits, I don't need to get people drunk to rob them blind.

Yeah, but doing so makes it morally permissible. Doing it the other way is just wrong.

Not sorry bros, I'm into crude jokes and light-humored creepin' but still think jokes about taking advantage of intoxicated guests is loving gross and mad unprofessional.

Oh wait, because it is. Continue jerking one another off about which highball is more "manly."

I guess you're not into crude jokes. It's a joke because it's gross. And bartenders aren't known to be the most professional lot. And who's jerking off who? Because I have yet to get a handy and if I continue drinking someone's gonna have to handle my passed out, limp dingus, so hurry up you prudes.

Jokes are funny. Taking advantage of intoxicated customers isn't. gently caress off.

I know you've been bartending at Applebee's for a whole ten months now, but some of us treat our professions like real jobs, yknow, because they are.

Why aren't I surprised that no one is interested in handling your dick?

I wish people would step outside their comfort zones on spirits more. Not even comfort zones, just try a different brand for gods sake it's not like I'm foisting a sexual orientation change. Like if someone's having a few gin and tonics I'll recommend something cool like Citadelle or Botanist because holy poo poo one gets are caramelized during fermentation and is so smooth and the other is Scottish and who's ever heard of a Scottish gin am I right? 1-2 dollar markup from rail and they always just eye it with suspicion and "no thanks I'm ok". This gigantic selection behind me, all mostly full. It's depressing.

Iunno, if I go out to a place and see a huge variety of bottles back behind the bar, I get as excited as I do for Christmas. I try and urge my friends to try different poo poo too when we're out together. A lot of guests at my job are fairly open to trying new things too, if only for one drink.

The other people who don't want to try anything else? Eeeehhhh whatever.

I think my favorite part of this whole ordeal is that in my years of bartending, I never took a customer home, and I sure as poo poo never got a girl intoxicated with that intent. But hey, this is a super serious thread about career bartending, no more jokes allowed.

Something Awful isn't Tumblr. Jokes are allowed here, even bad taste rape jokes. Not that the post in question was either in bad taste or about rape. It was a joke though.

Also statistically nine out of ten people actually enjoy gang rape, so the facts are on our side.

Seriously though if you're headed home from the bar and you come across someone whose been raped the first thing to do is to stop and think because you've obviously been going in circles.

I don't particularly care about defending my right to free speech, I just think it's funny that other people believe they should be the arbiter of what is and is not an acceptable topic for making a joke about. I won't even defend the joke as being particularly funny - it wasn't. But hey, let's come to a consensus about what we can and can't joke about, that'll be a blast.

Walked into a bar last night with a couple buddies and it was decently busy. We sit down at the few open stools left at bar, we order our first round, and we're served.

Then, nothing.

No asking for payment, no asking about a credit card to open a tab, just a nod and a quick chat about one of the beers my buddy ordered.

We finish that round and order a second and we're still running on a good-faith tab.

I make mention of this to the bartender, and thank him for the courtesy. He says as he hands over our check, "You guys weren't going anywhere. I knew that."

I mean, so did I, but it still feels very courteous to be treated as such.

I used to extend this courtesy to a veeeeery select few people/regulars (maybe 5% of the overall customers we ever had) at my last gig, and was only burned on it once by some people I had just met. It was enough to make me stop doing it almost entirely for a few months.

Do any of you extend this courtesy still, and if so, by what standards? Or do you live by the hard and fast rules of tabs with cards / cash on the spot?

In Seattle there's few bars that ask me to pay up front, but that's probably related to the fact that most bars are functionally identical to restaurants since there's a local ordinance that requires places that serve alcohol to also serve food. (Also I'm a white ~30 year old that wears glasses)

I used to extend that courtesy if my boss wouldn't become apoplectic if there was a walkout. That's one of those decisions usually made by management that the bartender pretends is his, like comped drinks, when it goes his way. Just do what your bar's policy is there.

I just don't want ninny boring GBS to return. The golden days of this forum were before that happened and now they have a chance to come back. Contributing to the thread OR comedy should always be allowed, and there should be enough slack that good faith attempts that don't get there aren't punished (except in FYAD).

I extend that courtesy to people sitting at the bar who are obviously settling in for a while or people that I know. I've had maybe 3 walk outs in 8 years bartending and 14 in the service industry. When they happened, we shrugged and said "oh well, cost of buasiness." and comped them out.

And yeah, the joke was gross/not funny, I'm not some tumblr SJW but found it distasteful as a woman and a professional. Get over yourself, no one is trampling on YER RIGHGGGHTS
