As I may have failed to mention, the bar I work at is in the middle of a liquor store. So, not only do I bartend but I also work the register up front for the liquor store as well. You can guess that this creates more work and aggravation than necessary and your guess is 100% correct.

When someone opens up a tab, majority of the time this means that they are paying with their credit card. At any normal bar, the credit card is swiped through the machine and there is a spot for the customer to leave a tip and to write down the total, but not at my bar. NO, I have to muster up the courage to ask if the customer is planning on leaving a tip on their credit card because what do ya know, there is no spot for a tip on the receipt! So rather than this being a confidential transaction it becomes an awkward conversation in which I assume they are leaving me a tip in hopes that my service was satisfactory. As if this isn't uncomfortable enough, once and if the person agrees, I then have to tell them that they must tell me how much of a tip they are adding to their tab so that I can ring it up altogether. Can I please excuse myself now before my face gets any more red from total embarrassment?

When it comes to buying packaged goods, you must spend at least $10 in order to use your credit card. Personally, I disagree with policies like this but hey I just work here. I don't make the rules nor do I bend them. One day this lady comes in (whom I have rung up several times before) trying to buy two 24oz. cans of beer which comes to a grand total of $4 with her credit card. I told her that we have a $10 minimum and of course her response is, "Since when?". Well, hmm let's see.......SINCE FOREVER! I sensed an argument coming and my blood began to boil. She proceeded to tell me that she always pays with her credit card and that she did so the day before. Annoyed and tired of being nice, I told her that I wasn't going to do it for her. To shut her up I called my boss to confirm the policy. While it was ringing, she had that "I'll prove you wrong" smirk across her face that I wanted to smack right off, but I calmly looked back at her knowing that my boss would side with me and make her feel like a complete douche bag. So Chad do we or do we not have a $10 minimum? "Yes we do," he said. And how long have we had that? "SINCE FOREVER!" he adds. Thank You! Now buy something else or give me cash and get the hell out of here you bitch of a customer you.

Oh and by the way I hope that your 4 dollars worth of beer tastes like camel piss. Have a great night now!
