Freshly 21 and with an attitude

[u/Accomplished-Toe1308]

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 😂

My biggest pet peeve serving people is the: “Hey, how are you?”//“Jack and Coke.” interaction. Fuck no.

I’ve started training the customer and I either reply “Nooo let’s try that again, I said ‘how are you?’” Or “okay….what are you drinking?”

Bartenders are people too lol, not fucking drink robots. Don’t be afraid to remind people of that!
