A Fast One Gets Pulled On Me
After this happened, I felt like it was something that should have happened, or I should have noticed, a long time ago.
While bartending last weekend, we were fairly busy. I spotted a potential customer leaning against the bar, waiting patiently with money in hand. In a more than reasonable amount of time, I walked over to him and asked him what he needed.
"Just a water, man," he said as he pocketed his money.
I made him his water, saw I was getting no tip, and since water is free, I realized that I had been had. The guy lured me over to the opposite end of the bar with his cash-in-hand, and got what he wanted without paying a dime.
Motherfucker.

You mean you don't have a self-serve water cooler like every other bar in town? Well, now you know why everyone else has them.
One less drunk for you to deal with though, right?
You lazy prick. I tended bar in Athens for over 10 years and the ones who only want water and leave no tip are a lot better than the ones that want 5 part drink that takes forever to make and leave no tip. Get over yourself. You probably think you should get a tip for just being there.
I applaud the guy for his ingenuity- if he hadn't had the money out, you would have just ignored him. Does clicking a button for 7 seconds really merit a tip anyways?
