Har har, bartenders are the dumb.
Tips for serving alcohol:
- Pour liquor into shot glass until full.
- Give to customer.
Tips for consuming alcohol:
- Recognize that bigger glasses may have more alcohol in them.
- Recognize that the bartender couldn’t give two shits how much you drink as long as you leave him a big tip.
- The configuration of the shot glass wasn’t responsible for you ordering another shot, and neither was the bartender.
Stop blaming the size and shape of the glass for your inability to stop drinking.
This article made me chuckle, for a few reasons. When it got to the part about experienced bartenders not being immune, I lost it. I really, really don’t want to sound degrading or condescending right now, but how much experience does it take to realize that those glasses play little optical tricks on you? I noticed it as soon as I looked at one. Are we entirely sure that the bartenders just don’t care either way?
On that note, as far as pouring shots is concerned, why do you need any experience? I can see mixing a drink requiring a little knowledge (or a little booklet of instructions,) but pouring shots? Come on! I pour shots all the time, and it’s not exactly a science. Tip bottle until liquid comes out. Aim for the glass.
Maybe I’m just biased against bartenders.
