How to Treat a Bartender, According to Bartenders

[@nathanielgolder4609]

I am a bartender myself and these guys made me feel embarrassed for being in this industry. -Call me by my name, it shows you appreciate my service -I will help you find the drink you want, if it takes 5 seconds or 5 minutes -I will help you if you're new to working out what you like -if I'm not busy, don't be scared to have a chat, I love talking to customers There is being a rude customer sure, but these guys seem super entitled. We are being paid to make your night, and I will happily go above and beyond to help with that. All in all, Be respectful, be understanding, And have a damn good night.

[@anvior45]

You at least seem a bit sensible. There are some women, an some guys that right at this minute are helping your grandma to the bathroom at the old folks home. Of course she does not always make it. So they in a very emphatic go in to clean it up and make everything right again. Besides that, they get into confrontations with people that have dementia and are confused and acting all crazy. Also, they have to deal with medical emergencys, and dead bodies all the time. If i had the money, i would have given the people that worked at the home where my grandmother was... Say, four thousand dollars each, for about 6 people.

I used to work as a bartender while studying, and at the bar i worked there was a douche "trained" bartender like this. He looked down on all the other bartenders because according to him he was on such a high bartending level compared to us. He also treated all the customers like trash. They were not worthy of his imaculate serving skills. He still works there. I usually stop by when I am out partying and make some orders. I know exactly what to order to piss him off. Makes my day every time.

[@nadrile]

I can see special cocktail making taking some time to learn, but a trained bartender sounds just the bare minimum that nearly everyone catches up after the first week or month during the job (or a two week course)… The only bad bartenders I’ve met were either those who looked like they’ve had the worst week or a friend who always put some extra in my beer/cider and it ended up way too strong and tasting like crap (a favor gone bad, and happened every time). Never met a bartender who felt inherently better than the rest of us, he/she must be quite the character.

[@RupeeRhod]

Man bars and bartenders seem kinda different in the US than to my country. 1. If somebody comes in and asks for a beer, then the bartender asks what do you like and presents the options. 2. If somebody smiles to you and in general is polite, that's a good thing. 3. I've never seen anybody puke from a Long Island Ice Tea, it's usually Tequila or slamming whiskey that gets people there. 4. Alcohol tastes great if you know how to prepare it, if you think it inherently tastes shit then the fault is with the bartender. It's like saying chicken tastes like shit because you didn't cook it. 5. Legal drinking age here is 16, and everybody brings a proper ID when they are old enough. But the clientele of bars isn't that young so by the time you wanna walk into a bar, 1 you know how to handle your booze, 2 you're old enough. How to treat a bartender: wait politely and ask for what you want, if you're unsure about what you want read the room, if it's busy look at a list or chat with friends about it, if there isn't anything going on start a conversation with your bartender, describe what you're looking for and they'll suggest a couple of simple things. This more reads like "How to treat a bartender according to people who hate bartending".

[@mrchiefbs]

Blair Snurtburgler yup. 20 in the us and am still looked at as a child that is too young and innocent for a little alcohol. I still had to sign up for the draft to fight in a war at 18 though. I am still legally an adult but not trusted enough by society to have a single beer. Went to France over the summer and had such a good, empowering experience. There was no carding and just genuine sitting and talking and sharing a beer with friends. It didn’t taste bad. It felt nostalgic and that was pretty much my first beer in a public setting. US alcohol culture is sickening.

It's Vice and American so obviously sensationalized. I love it when my guests ask for suggestions or discuss the drinks.

Also we've been tipping bartenders for generations. You don't have to agree with it but it's polite to do it, same way I tip nice cab drivers regardless of my views

Start a joke with them, talk to them, be polite, and they will 99percent of the time be polite back.

I reckon there is a big difference between us and uk bar staff. Obviously the tipping is the main point. I’ve mostly been a waiter but also done bar work and while I love people tipping, I don’t expect a tip of everybody, most tips are earned. But I big point is from what I’ve seen uk people are better with there alcohol in general than us people. While we have the reputation of being alcoholics in Europe and some of us go much to far, compared to Americans I feel we have better bar etiquette. I think cause we can drink from earlier ages and we have more old fashioned pubs that we have more of an appreciation of how to act in a bar than Americans do but that’s just from my experiences

I would say the only “don’t” that I have is (for reference I work at a hotel bar) if you walk up to the bar while I’m pretty much closed up and ask for a drink, take whatever is said very literally. I usually say, “I’m happy to do something easy for you, but I’m closing up so it’ll have to be quick”. That means I’m not going to muddle, shake, stir, strain, or squeeze anything. I’ll pop you open a beer, pour you a shot, make you a gin and tonic, or pour you a wine but that’s it.

What is with Americans requiring to tip for everything? No one ever tips bartenders here in Europe, in most places they get paid for their job accordingly.

[@mistym0rning]

Domantas Lukosius - yeah, different places work differently, in the US it’s just (sadly) the truth that bartenders and waitresses etc only make $2-3 per hour. If they don’t get tipped, they literally wouldn’t survive off of their income. If you go out to dinner in the US the prices on the menu don’t include taxes and don’t include tip. A $12 pizza will end up being closer to $15-16 once they add tax and you add your tip. If service was decent I’ll tip 15%, and if service was outstanding I’ll give 18-20%. Keep in mind that prices _before_ tipping are usually cheaper than in Europe, so once you add the tip in the US you end up with roughly the same price to pay as you’d pay in most European countries. It’s just a different system in the US because the tips go directly to the person serving you, and don’t have to go through the payroll system and bookkeeping of their employer.

[@StayOkToday]

Prices are definitely cheaper in Europe compared to USA, but I guess your country is overall more expensive.This system sounds unnecessarily complicated with too many loops. It kind of makes sense why you have Unions there too then.

[@clintbrunke2074]

@@mistym0rning well said. as a bartender i hope for a 20 percent tip every time but where I live thats more customary , in other parts of the country I hear 15 is customary or lower. but you are spot on about the cost of labor not being included in the price of food , most peope do not get that. or others ay just pay servers min wage when they dont get that we make twice min wage as it is.

John S not asking for a whole recipe or every selection in the bar. If you ask if they have any vodka and they name 2 or 3 most popular ones at that bar then that’s hardly a hassle to someone serving at most half a dozen people.

It's really convenient for the customer to know what they want to drink so we can serve the other customers... Hope that helps...

I still struggle to remember locations of drinks on the back bar, which wines are which and what glasses they are served in, I still get too much heads on the beers from the taps and forget recipes of shots and cocktails, but guess what, the customers understand that it can be a stressful and hard to learn job! I'm only 5 shifts in, in a venue that is usually 5-6 people deep waiting for drinks and they are bloody great customers that love what I do and how I treat them. None of these people are "bartenders". They are pompous assholes.

[@gabdoush]

what about getting another job if you dont like being a bartender ... tips are not a obligation its if you give a good service you DESERVE a tip

[@Burnthesof]

I America tipping pays their wages mostly. Stupid system I know but you not tipping doesn't change the bartenders wage

[@gabdoush]

Burnthesof that i know im from Canada its the same thing there what i mean its these guys are bartender not the president or some shit they not all the same but these guy are the worst if they want tips give a good service

[@brandipityha9457]

@@Burnthesof I live in America and i work at a concert venue as a warehouse man, basically making sure all the bartenders get their liquor and their beer and their cups and win and whatever else they would need. Doing that i find it funny that all the bartenders we have all expect to get tipped by people buying beer and drinks but then they dont tip out the warehouse that got them everything they needed. But on that, I live in California so its illegal to be paid under minimum wage no matter what so they all get $11/hr, but even still wouldnt that want you to be NICER and not basically tell people to fuck off for SMILING at them, or calling them by their own damn name?

[@hampushaglund7831]

Or maybe most people should just act like they are over 21 years old and have been in a bar before?

[@brandipityha9457]

@@hampushaglund7831 So you think the guy being pissed that someone called his name, or smiled at him is not "acting like they are over 21"? Servers dont deserve shit for tips unless they are good, and you want to. Also, its bad not knowing what they want? How do you know what they have without asking or looking at a menu, but 99% of menus dont have their drinks.

[@TheTxTKiller]

Yikes, luckily there is no tipping "culture" in my country. Also a bit weird that some of these bartenders hate being asked for what drinks they have. Imagine being out drinking for the first time in a bar and the bartender gets upset, because you ask what drinks they have. Even though my country is famous for being extremely introverted, bartenders here are happy to help you select a drink.

[@nayber2352]

Also, most bars here don't have available drinks listed anywhere, you pretty much have to guess what the bartender can make, and already know what drinks are possible before you go in. This is why everyone gets beer, or long islands/whisky cokes.

Here's why bartenders like these exist: 1. They had a lonely childhood 2. They get a job at a bar 3. They get hit on 4. They think the drunk people hitting on them would hit on them whilst sober 5. Their egos get boosted and they thrive off of the attention they were deprived of in their childhood 6. The ego boosting gets to their head and they believe they've evolved to god status

[@holdtightadele8017]

To be fair, we don’t have photographic memories… we ask “who’s next please” and it’s down to the people waiting to have an once of honesty and a remote concept of order. Sometimes you have to make yourself known, just do it politely and all will be well.

[@ChrisM-bn5vr]

Why can't Americans just pay their staff enough so they don't expect extra money attached to the price of everything you buy.

[@ILoveGabeHorn]

They do in Seattle but they still expect tips. Legit, Seattle minimum wage is currently $15/HR and going up to $16/HR. L&I states an employer cannot pay tips to ensure an employee meets the minimum wage. Seriously, my friends who work in bars and restaurants say they make $25-35/HR with tips.

[@meshio3060]

In Ireland tipping at a bar is very uncommon unless you’re getting a few cocktails

[@diegovidal9862]

Because then everything would cost more and tips make it so the good workers get the most and those who are tight on money can still buy

laser325 i fully agree, its really just the U.S that takes tipping so seriously. Ive had lectures and been giving leaflets for not tipping

[@JohnBest]

@@misterlondoner precisely. In america the wait staff often makes $2.75/hour before their tips. Usually go home with a $0 paycheck, and have tip cash in hand. No matter how you look at it, the owners of these establishments put the cost on us; so I DO tip well. I guess there are only 2 ways to look at it though. It's either you accept the game or you consider your business done after the meal/transactioin.
