When a bartender who has been in the business sits down and drinks at the bar your currently tending, it's gonna be a good night. Especially if he feels like telling a story.
There are some good ones, and I particularly liked the one about the guy who drank snakebites. He would get done work and stop at the same bar everyday for one drink before heading home. He would order his snakebite, pay for the shot and never left a tip. Ever. It just so happened that the tender was there every day through the week when the guy would come in. His philosophy was, "You paid for the shot, but you've never paid for the service." So when the guy would order the shot, the Tender would pour the Yukon into a shot glass and then splash the lime juice in and place it before the guy. The guy took the shot, made a nasty face and said, "Don't you guys chill them here?"
Best part about the story is that this was not a one time incident. This was every day the guy came in. Tender set a warm shot on the bar everyday. The guy made the same nasty face everyday. The guy would say, "Don't you guys chill them here?" everyday.
Supposedly, humans learn from our mistakes. At some point, you would imagine that the guy would think to ask for it chilled, but never did.
Eh, well, it made me laugh.
