What Drinks Do You Hate? (Bartender Stories r/AskReddit)

bartenders of Reddit what drink makes you hate the person ordering it either because it's a pain in the ass to make or because it's a sure sign of a pain in the ass customer can I get a Mexican double-headed purple Villa crap wrap to baby please euhh what is that oh come one it's tequila and OJ obviously that's what they call them back home it's less about the drinky order and more about how you order I'd prefer you quickly and succinctly order 20 different kinds of pisco sours than do the following if we are extremely busy with people at every inch of the bar waving us down for drinks and you get my attention even though you're unprepared to order turn around to ask all your friends what they want in have to have a whole conversation with each of them about the vodka soda they want ask me to name all the tequila's we have then ask if we have Tito's tequila which doesn't exist in the finally decide not to get any tequila at all then finally order half of the drinks you want and as I return to the rail with the glass where needed say oh and one more this or that and then repeatedly add more orders on making me go back and forth as I make the drinks you say can I get less ice and like maybe more vodka as I finish making all your drinks and begin handing them to you you have walked away from the bar to talk to some girl instead of being there ready with your cash or credit card making me have to work to get your attention back before I can really move on because you just ordered a bunch of crap and I can't trust you to come back and pay later then you come back and order for more of the same drinks then you say can we get chasers and I say what would you like to chase with and you asked me what do you have and I name everything I haven't you say let's just have sprites and then you walk away again and still haven't handed me your card then you finally give me your card but it's declined then you give me another card and tell me you have to call your bank you pay for everyone's drinks and then tip five percent you have just made an enemy at the bar and I will put you at the bottom of my priorities I work at a dive bar and it drives me bonkers when someone comes in and asks for a fancy martini we're clearly not that kind of joint I have one Cosmo glass not even a martini glass and I probably have to wash it because it's dusty earth then try to cobble together whatever you asked for with my limited ingredients when you won't be happy with the end result anyway because it doesn't taste like the one you've got at the speakeasy down the road not a bartender but I've seen one lose his crap because my wife ordered a Caesar it's been five years or so but the answer to this question used to be Red Bull and vodka bartender said guys who ordered that were annoying then it turned out Red Bull and vodka was the drink of choice for 90% of reddit shorts will cause more grief than drinks you want a single marijuana milkshake alright just kinda a pain but oh well but the worst though is the I want something strong it still tastes good but strong you know so you probably want Burt Reynolds no stronger than that so sour Jack no jack but still strong tequila not that strong silly and the what did you get I'm getting us shots what kind should I get let's get like Frick tonight meanwhile I'm standing there like an idiot waiting to make a drink while other customers are getting mad I know let's get Burt Reynolds those are always good I smile and make the shots while screaming on the inside I'm a bartender in Ireland and people ordering Guiness can be really annoying some want the head on it large other wanted micro-thin when preparing Guinness you traditionally fill it up three strokes four and then wait 90 seconds for it to settle before topping it up some people wanted topped immediately some want you to wait and few demand you wait up to five minutes older drinkers demand the old standard glass while new drinkers like the new ones with harp design all this and more which you are supposed to know automatically otherwise they complain seven years on I have hundreds of Guinness preferences memorized nothing from my business degree I live in Ireland so it shows a painful lack of awareness when a tourist orders an Irish Car Bomb seemingly without even a tiny bit of questioning of why it may cause trouble in certain parts the come in 30 minutes from closing and ordering 30 modulus guy I worked in a bar for about a year when I was 19 and the only drink that was specifically an indicator of a pain and the ask customer was a turbo Shandy aside from that it was more how they'd order the drink as opposed to what they'd order the two greatest examples being one ordering a Guinness at the end of a round and two when the bars busy and they are constantly trying to get served faster by shouting for your attention miss miss miss barmaid miss et Cie then when you finally get to them and ask what they want they say hold on and then call over to their mates at the table to find out what to order at our bar we have this drink called unicorn juice that's basically five different types of syrup with a shot of rum that's layered to look like a rainbow such a bee to make and so expensive for only one shot of alcohol any drink they order after waiting to be served for 10 minutes on a busy night but don't know what they wanted water yet my favorite was I'll have their hey Dave what are you having 30 seconds later he's still shouting over to his mates a mixed fruit copper burg under this ale points at the far end of the bar to board visor a stellar and a Guinness oh and 12 Jagger bombs I swear that man could burn alive and I'd be okay with it I don't care what they drink but anyone who snaps their fingers to get your attention is going to be a disaster i hanged the one shot please what kind of shot oh I don't know just anything it might seem like a really easy order but it's not since you can easily freak up in the customers eyes either the drink being too sweet strong expensive blah blah blah just think of a shot and order it give em Jepsen's mallet not a bartender that I once ordered a White Russian at a hotel bar the guy looked at me like I had just ordered that his children be executed I couldn't figure out why but then he pulled out like eight individual single serving hail from the house the kind you'd find sitting on a cafe table he opened them one at a time pouring the contents into a glass moved on to the next when he finally made it to the last one he couldn't get it open so he used the end off a stirring spoon to rupture the seal after a bit of effort he managed to break the seal only to send the contents of the package flying into another patrons face the patron was cool with it but the bartender ended up giving them free drinks because of the mishap this is a sign of a crappy bar not a crappy drink eight shots of sores for me and the lads and some smirnoff ice to wash it down surprised by the lack of Majah Taseer i will never in all my days forgive the guy who ordered 20ma jet is 10 minutes before the end of a really busy night my wrist aches just thinking about it the mijito effect you make one pair of women mojit us to others see them and order them and then a group of four and so on and suddenly you've spent a half hour muddling fresh mint and nothing else is getting done AMF it says I just turned 21 so I'm gonna get super wasted spray blue vomit everywhere and not tip at all for those who have no idea what an AMF is these are the ingredients vodka gin rum tequila 7up Blue Curacao worked in a somewhat nicer college bar for over two years but we didn't get a ton of fancy drink orders most nights anyway the one that always made me laugh was ordering well whiskey neat or on the rocks being a college bar that stuff was about as cheap as you can find and definitely wasn't sipping whiskey oh and ordering a Bloody Mary at 10:00 p.m. when the bar is slammed after a big football game don't do me like that I'll have a pint of fosters get them a fosters a bottle of Beck's anything else sir get them a bottle of Beck's another pint of fosters anything else sir another bottle of Beck's get them a pint of fosters and a bottle of Beck's a glass of wine narrow whip dancer what do you recommend what do you like sweet dry red white hold on I'll ask a pint of fosters what wine would you like as well you choose okay then house ready the pint of fosters she doesn't like read can I have white anything else sir yes I'll have a pint of Guinness people who would have Martine is not knowing what they are and making faces at the taste of gin people ordering 15 shots of baby Guinness when the bar is three deep someone who orders drinks one at a time instead of giving you the whole order then orders a pint of Guinness last the bartender's Guinness drinkers will understand I used to work in a well-known UK bar chain that specializes in flavoured shots I'm sure you can guess what it is and we did peanut butter martinis I hated making them with a passion purely because we had to wash the equipment strainer [ __ ] Boston turn separately to avoid allergic reactions etc used to constantly tell the customer we had no peanut butter hoping they wouldn't notice the massive jar of it behind us now they use peanut less peanut butter a single plum floating in perfume served in a man's hat freak off Yoko I was in a decently high-end bar in my old city a while back and ordered a rusty nail the bartender said he wouldn't make it for me because I was too young 25 and that he'd get me a beer vodka cran or a German asked for a whiskey sour he gave me the previous options again I told him to go Frick himself and left never went back I believe the best response would have been to ask him condescendingly if that's all he knows how to make only hot drinks irk me it's just I am usually behind the bar alone trying to get drink after drink out and now I have faff about with the coffee machines it just crushes my rhythm it doesn't make much money and it takes quite a bit of time admittedly it's partially because my coffee machine sucks and it's shoved away half behind a corner might not be so bad if I could just push a button and let it get on with it when I got a dozen people trying to get my attention and someone asks for that I just know the crowds gonna swell because the time it takes and I just get a little more irritable decaf double espresso you would have to manually a deke after the machine twice one time someone order decaf double espresso with soy milk foam that crap don't foam the current annoyance is a simple gin and tonic becoming ruined with garnishes I appreciate a good GNT but there's no way I'm counting out individual berries for something you're gonna neck regardless I'm fine with making complicated craft cocktails but if after four minutes of me shaving nutmeg and plucking mclees i serve you your drink and you're indecisive friend just goes oh that looks good I'll have one of those Frick you Craig I could have made two of these in the same shaker at the same time but now I have to do this crap all over again and I'm 5 tickets deep and the servers are getting mad at me any shot that is surd Laird when it's super busy if it's not busy then it's kind of fun also when people order a shot with a ton of ingredients and then just want one live a little buy a round for your friends it's probably not their fault though lots of people have no idea what's in many of the mixed drinks shots they consume at the end of the day as long as we all try not to be dongs to each other from each side of the bar the experience is much better no matter what anyone orders none honestly my job is to make sure you get what you want how you want it I work in a bar that ranges from steady at worst to incredibly busy there are times when it's the latter that I wish people would be considerate of others French martini when there are 300 people in the bar is going to take time I could used to sling more drinks build honestly if you order a time there to make it and try to make it better than you've ever had it surprised me your best drink and I'd better love it or 10 minutes soft hemming and hawing while you monopolize my time instead of looking at our highly descriptive menu hello friend oh you have been visited by the cozy
