Why Is This So Difficult ?
JohnBufordMassachusetts
I will preface this by saying I believe I speak clearly,slowly and at an adequate volume.This comes from both my time in the military,when I had to speak properly while on the radio and currently officiating a sport that requires I speak that way when addressing players, coaches and having to report fouls.I asked for "Jameson,make it neat,with a rocks glass of ice on the side and a glass of water." Pretty simple and straighforward yes ? Yet the bartender, (who clearly should have her brain in her boobs) kept f... it up.It took FOUR attempts to get it right.I have less patience for stupidity the older I get.What are some examples of stupidity you guys have seen in SC's ?

last commentA good bartender is a blessing and a good reason to become a regular.
LMFAO - Well John I thought I was the "only" person who seemed to have a tolerance for STUPIDITY that decreases as I grow older. Nice to know I have company!
"Jack Daniels and ginger ale, please." "Is that Scotch or Bourbon?"
'"Jack Daniels and ginger ale, please." "Is that Scotch or Bourbon?"'
Nothing that good, just piss water...
Sorry, could you repeat the question?
Hate to call it stupidity and it was a stripper so it’s not fair but…
In a full liquor club that is notorious for hiring under aged (not yet 21) girls despite the local liquor laws. Dancer asks me to buy her a drink. I tell her I would be happy to IF she is old enough. In her most indignant voice she says “I’m 22.†I ask, “What year were you born?†Glassy eyes, open mouth and gears grinding to a halt she just stands there.
Another fine product from the US education system.
Every underage dancer this far has been honest with me about thier age.
My problem is the older I get the less patient and the more stupid I become
At the Discotheque Lounge in Augusta Ga the bar tender told me that she could not accept $2 bills. Reason: "I do not have a place for them in my till". So I paid with a $5 bill but she didn't get a tip.
I'd like a vagina and juice
At a generally blue-collar in Dallas, I ordered an imported beer. They served so little of that particular brand that they didn't have any cold that night.
So, rather than offer me another choice, she brought me a warm Heiney, already opened so I couldn't refuse it, and a goblet full to the top with ice.
Fen, that's what you get for asking for a green bottle on Harry Hines Blvd. ;)
Most places I go, they don't even ask. It is there when I sit or very shortly after.
Simple? Sounds pretty complicated to me too.
There's only Bud or Bud Lite on the menu where I go. They can't screw that up. Neat is how is how i keep my garage not how I order my drinks.
This was about twenty years ago, but I ordered an Absolut White Russian and watched the bar staff in a huddle. Finally the bartender came back and asked, "I know what a White Russian is but what do you put in it to make it an absolute one?"
LMAO Mike -- I don't drink and I could have figured that out!
Shortly before my doctor told me I couldn't drink anymore, I went to two different clubs in one night and asked for a Bud Light Lime at each one. At the first, I got a Bud Ice (I wasn't aware they had even made that anymore, much less that some bar would dare to sell the stuff). At the second, I got a Bud Light with a lime slice put into it. I thought A) Bud Light Lime was pretty much a standard option at bars anymore and B) They'd be smart enough to say they didn't sell that kind, but no, they don't.

^^
that's a good one! nobody ever accused bartenders of working for nasa! ;-)
"Simple? Sounds pretty complicated to me too."
I have to agree with motorhead. Way too complicated for the typical strip club bartender. And why do you need THREE glasses anyway? ;-) A proper drink order should be no more than five words at the most, e.g.:
Johnnie Walker Black, neat.
Jack Daniels on the rocks.
Gin & Tonic, Tanqueray.
Vodka martini, shaken, not stirred.
I didn't NEED three glasses,I CHOSE it.I have never heard of the "five word limit" and will ignore it,as future failures provide fodder for this site.Only in SC do I get the blank stare and furrowed brow when placing this order.
Just say "Beer" They should understand that. LOL
Vm,
Of course, when you are down my way, cerveza is the word!
Well, it IS the SC, not Raffles Singapore. Much as they may want to put on fancy "Club" airs, I do not expect them to have very high hiring standards.
What is this world coming to? Once again I agree with steve229.
Early in my lifetime of drinking I learned that a simple drink request was the easiest for the majority of the world's bartenders to deal with.
Do you understand the words coming out of my mouth
