Why Barkeeps Should Rule The World, Part 2
Me: “Hey there, mate, what can I get ya?”
Customer: “I’ll have a scotch on the rocks.”
Me: “Coming right up!”
(I serve him his drink, but as soon as I turn around to handle the other customers, a lowball glass comes flying through the air, hits the wall, and shatters to a million pieces. I turn back and see the customer with a frown on his face.)
Me: “Why the h*** did you do that for?!”
Customer: “Why’d you put f****** ice in my drink?! I didn’t ask for no f****** ice!”
Me: “Yes, you did! You asked for scotch on the rocks!”
Customer: “Yeah, and you put ice in it!”
Me: “Do you know what a scotch is?”
Customer: “Whiskey?”
Me: “Exactly. And do you know what ‘on the rocks’ means?”
Customer: “How you make it?”
Me: “No, it stands for ice. Scotch with ice.”
Customer: “…”
Me: “You’re gonna have to pay for the drink and the glass and then get out.”
Customer: “How f****** dare you?!”
Me: “Do you know what ‘on the rocks’ also means?”
Customer: “No! What?!”
(The doorman takes him by the hand, and then tosses him out the front door.)
