But that bar is frequented by preppy smug college kids who look down on people who aren't perfect so why wouldn't the bar staff be the same?

Choom Gangster posted:Longtime bartender, first time caller. You have to have a limited understanding of how bartending works to believe this person, or any, could mistakenly pour a top shelf spirit in lieu of a well. FIrst of all, they are in likely opposite locations, the well will have a pour spout, while the top shelf will have a cork/screwtop. Well spirits, especially rum, come in typically tall slender bottles, whereas I truly struggle to think of a top shelf rum that doesn't come in something short and squat. There is no chance that at some point in this transaction that this bartender failed to notice at least one of these things; especially in a night club of all places. There are top shelf rums that come in longer bottles (Oronoco, Santa Teresa, Ron Abuelo Centuria) but yeah to everything else.

There's been exactly two times I saw a bartender put the wrong liquor in a drink, and both of them were an extremely skilled bartender who was just going too fast and forgot a detail in the recipe, grabbing one bottle of expensive aged rum instead of a different one.

I just don't buy the bartender insisting they pay for the more expensive drink. I've never been a cocktail bartender, but I've accidentally poured the wrong beer before and the only way I'd charge the customer something different than what they'd ordered is if I gave them something cheaper and then I'd charge them less. I've had loving cheapskates too, and they'd make you pour out the drink and make a new one with the cheap stuff, like best possible circumstances is you are still pouring a seven dollar drink down the drain instead of taking 3.50.

Hell, I had a bartender remake my margarita for free because I didn't like the taste of the sour mix. Why I ordered the one with sour mix, I'll never know.

It was him saying that the bartender was charging him a higher price to be a jerk, so as to make him feel unwelcome. The reason the story makes no sense is that this person hasn't left their parents' basement in fifteen years.

I was in a bar with my coworkers, one of whom was very likely an alcoholic. The server brought us drinks we didn't order at least twice since the alkie would drink whatever was put in front of him.

I've been served the wrong drink more than once. Not a single time were they dicks about it. They were nice, offered to fix the correct one, and didn't charge me for the wrong one, whether I drank it or not. And I'm a goon with questionable social skills and poor at communication. I know we are all hammering this idiots story, but this one irks me for no good god drat reason. At least make it in the realm of possibility.

I worked at a place that had both red and white Zinfandel on the "by the glass" list, so when someone ordered "the red Zin" their friend asked for "the red Cab[ernet]"

Once I went to a bar with a couple friends at like 6pm while waiting for some more people for dinner and the bartender was brand new and totally out of her depth or the owners niece or something cuz she was nice but kind of clueless and basically only knew how to pour beer. One of our group ordered a glass of a moderately priced whiskey and she filled that glass up to nearly the brim, and her supervisor was clearly unhappy when he noticed (a bit too late) but still only charged us for a normal pour because it wasn't us that hosed up.

Always nice to have a happy ending. Assuming the last word is an edit, isn't O- the universal recipient? Or is it universal donor?

We're really lucky our blood is so simple. Horses, which somehow exist in spite of themselves, have 8 major blood types and 30 additional factors that can be either positive or negative for a total of some 400,000 combinations, meaning you're unlikely to ever find an exact match. Transfusions can be done with some careful horsebloodmaths, but I understand it's not ever ideal.

In the US you can actually get paid for plasma. It’s not a fun experience but it isn’t a bad one. Eat beforehand, dick around on your phone or watch daytime TV during, get paid. Unless you have a needle phobia it’s an all around decent time tbh.

Except for the cold ache of room temperature blood being returned to your veins. That was the worst part. Oh, and being poor enough to do it in the first place.
