Yesterday I pulled a Druff

[tgull]

I am never one to complain about service, just not my thing. I am the guy who says 'well I got shitty service but maybe they are having a tough time in life'. The other night was the exception.

I took an Uber to a nightclub, I am over 40 now so nightclubs are not my thing anymore but I was invited to a mild bachelor party, just a few friends getting together. Anyway, I got the last couple rounds of drinks it was like 11pm, and got my tab. It was exactly $100. The odds of ever getting a tab exactly $100 is like a lottery ticket odds. I joked with the bartender about it and for whatever reason he took offense. He was like 'the price of the drinks is the price'. I was like Whoaaa dude, I was merely making a comment. For the record, I don't think the bartender was skimming it was just really odd to have a check exactly $100.

So I tipped and gave the guy exactly $15 since he was a monumental d-bag. I explained to him I always tip 20% but tonight I was making an exception. Rather than taking the high road and apologizing (in which I would have reached into my pocked and given him another $5), he just gave me a 'whatever' and walked away.

So we walked away from the bar to get a better site line of the TVs, and I get a grab on my arm. Not a violent grab but still an invasion of my space. It's the bartender and he is spouts "Where is my PEN". I am like WTF are you talking about, and he said just give me my pen back and I will refund your card for your tip. Yes, I was pretty hammered but still had enough self discipline to tell the bartender I am not in the habit of stealing pens from broke mother fuckers. He walked away claiming it was bullshit I took his pen as it had sentimental value. The confrontation basically ruined the rest of the experience for the party.

Now for the record I might have accidentally flicked the pen, I don't really remember but it was like a BIC pen you get at a Walgreens. Anyway, I called the manager Saturday morning an explained the bartenders aggressive behavior and he how it ruined the rest of the night and he said he would address. He was most concerned about the arm grab and I indicated I was not injured, at least not physically. Never going back to this place.

its been my first hand experience that bartenders tend to eventually 'go bad' and when it happens, the end game is usually them ending up severely hurt or dead through mishap, pissing off the wrong loser, or suicide.

Dude, you lost all negotiating power by claiming that his grabbing your arm didn’t leave a bruise (which usually shows up the next day), and that you are thinking of contacting a lawyer. Upon hearing that, the manager most likely would have refunded a portion of your credit card bill in exchange for a written promise to not sue. So, by all measures, you only went half-Druff in that situation.

P.S. Try better next time.

Or judging blowjob contests.

This makes you the monumental d-bag.

Should have gone back to Perth, no tipping required there.

Come on Tine we all know the truth. This bartender took your BTC are donkdown advice to heart and shorted it as it was down under 8k only to be punished as it shot up to 9500. 😏

Sorry not a good “pulling a Druff” story.

#FAIL

[SPIT this]

This story never happened, as it involves you having multiple friends and $100+ to your name. But tipping $15 for bad service is not how Druff would behave. And usually for drinks you tip a fixed amount per drink, not a percentage, so $15 was probably overly generous.

And having a bill for drinks be exactly $100 isn't that rare since some bars will make drinks come out to exact dollar amounts after tax to make it easier for people who are using cash. So a pretty dumb comment to make.
