MySpace "The one with the cute bartender..." - Sunday, January 22, 2006, 15:06
Most of you probably know that I am pretty good with bartends and servers at bars and clubs. With that, I get quick service, happy patronage, and some times other little benefits. Well, I am sorry to say that last night, while on the pub crawl, I had an incident that I was fairly unfamiliar with.
It was at Slugger’s. I know the huge bar that was understaffed by two bartends was super busy, but for some odd reason, the hot bartend would keep on skipping me after acknowledging me. She kept on serving others who just walked up, while I waited. I wonder if she had something against guys with a heart sticker on his face. Or perhaps bling to go with it… Anyway, I finally see Christie go up a few steps away from me and get served immediately, so I yelled out to her to get me a Miller Lite and a Heineken, and that I was not getting served at all. Oops! The hot bartend heard what I said, and she turned to me, “Hey! Sorry, but it’s busy here!!! I’ll get to you when I get to you.”
Well, after that, she finally served me. Nice. I was not too impressed with her. But then, much later, when I went up for the second round, I ordered a Miller Lite, and she told me, “$3.50.” I said, “What? That should be $2!!!” She gave me this exasperating look, and said, “Forget it!” She didn’t even take my three dollar bills.
I turned around, and I see Kristen standing there, and she was holding the pub crawl list and the specials at each place. I looked at it, and, uhm, I guess the special at Slugger’s was $2 drafts, not bottles. I have this super embarrassing look on my face. I could not possibly leave things the way it was, so I turned around, flagged the bartend down, showed her the list, and apologized sincerely. I did not expect anything more than a “Whatever” from her, but you know what? She was real nice, and apologized herself too, saying she was stressed out and just snapped. Phew! If she had not done that, I was sure that I would feel awful the rest of the night. But I felt real pleased!
Later that night, before I left Slugger’s, I sought her out and had a pleasant chat. We are all good! No harm done. And I took a picture of her. Hee hee… Dang that was real close! I sincerely hope that I don’t have to live through this experience ever again. Here’s to you, cute, unnamed bartender!
Oh… And why was the bunch of us hanging out around the restroom area below Irish Oak? That was just weird, freaking out all the other patrons who were not with us!!! =)
