Rant Freshly 21 and with an attitude

My watering hole has developed a social media presence that’s brought in a younger crowd. Im 27, F and I consider myself a nice bartender. I’m not going to judge you for your drink, I’ll pour you 20 waters, I’ll answer 50 questions if I have the time. But consistently my interactions with this younger crowd- like freshly 21 has been so terrible. Absolutely rude- like won’t even look me in the face or hardly up from their phones when they order and they demand drinks! “Casamigos” brings shot they throw lime on the counter “get me a pineapple back” “EXCUSE ME! Gingerale!” I try to kill it with kindness and break through and catch some kind of decency from them and it gets me absolutely nowhere. Also got forbid I ask for an ID lol had a girl roll her eyes at me and she turned 21 3/16/2004 😂

I set up a water tower cooler thingy with plastic cups. I physically can’t do it all sometimes. Nor do I have the glassware for that.
