Beer Today, Gone Tomorrow

(I work in a restaurant at a popular ski resort. This story happens in the middle of the day during the week. A man walks up to me when we’re very slow.)

Customer: “Hi, are you guys open?”

(We are obviously open, even though we aren’t busy.)

Me: “Yep! Were you looking to sit down and eat?”

Customer: “No, I wanna sit at the bar.”

Me: “All right, I’ll go find the bartender.”

(I walked away and got one of the servers to help him, as I couldn’t find the bartender.)

Server: “What can I do for you?”

Customer: “Can I have a [Draft Beer]? It won’t be here long. ”

(The server turns around to ring him up. Once she turns around, the beer is gone. He pays and leaves quickly.)

Me: “…What just happened?”

Server: “I wish I knew.”
