Some People Are Not Awesome

People never cease to amaze me. If you work in any kind of environment where you are exposed to the public…such as bartending…you better be mentally prepared to come across some unbelievably huge pieces of shit on your path to a paycheck. Three nights ago a woman came in…a representative for a Japanese car company…and asked for our house chardonnay…I double checked with her to make sure she liked it…she did…and someone else picked up her tab. Two nights ago…she came in and sat next to one of the owners and again requested a chardonnay….I poured her the house since she had enjoyed it last evening. She practically spat it out in disgust and demanded I tell her what I had served. I informed her that I poured our house…the same one she had liked last night. She replied sarcastically, “No. That definitely wasn’t me.”…while rolling her eyes…as if I was the idiot…making me look pretty stupid in front of one of the big bosses. The owner…who was observing the situation…immediately demanded that I pour her our most expensive chardonnay and put it on his tab. So tonight…the chardonnay psychopath returned…and requested…you guessed it…a glass of chardonnay. This time…I bluntly asked, “What kind?” She asked for the expensive glass she had the night before and handed me a credit card. I presented the wine and quickly handed her the check. When she saw the cost of the glass…she erupted into a Jew fit about the price…exclaiming, “This is outrageous! I can’t believe you charge this much! I am just going to have to leave you zero as a tip.” The wine weirdo immediately scratched a line through the gratuity section of the credit card slip and walked away shaking her head at me in disgust. I don’t decide the prices you cheap bitch. The owner you conned into buying your glass last night does. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vo0Cazxj_yc Some people are not awesome.
