One
of
my
biggest
pet
peeves
is
a
bartender
who
fails
to
acknowledge
a
customer
standing
right
in
front
of
them.
It
to
me
is
one
of
the
most
disrespectful
acts
in
the
service
industry.
I
visited
here
on
Friday
evening,
and
was
greeted
warmly
by
the
hostess.
The
bar
was
less
than
packed.
I
then
proceeded
to
order
drinks
for
myself
and
a
friend,
so
I
went
to
stand
at
the
bar
placing
my
hand
on
the
bar
and
looking
dead
into
the
bartenders
eyes
to
acknowledge
I
wanted
to
place
an
order.
As
I
tend
to
respect
a
bartender's
craft
when
they
are
making
drinks
and
not
bark
at
them,
I
waited.
The
bartender
then
went
on
to
turn
his
back,
continue
shaking
his
shaker,
turn
back
around,
and
do
everything
it
seemed
in
his
power
to
avoid
eye
contact
and
take
my
order.
I
stood
there
for
over
7
minutes,
fixed
on
him
waiting
for
him
to
give
the
slightest
acknowledgment
as
he
proceeded
to
make
other
drinks,
til
it
became
so
apparent
that
I
was
annoyed,
that
the
other
bartender
standing
at
the
far
end
of
the
bar
came
over
to
take
my
order.
I
then
proceeded
to
give
her
my
drink
order,
but
then
thought
to
myself,
"nah,
im
good."
I
wouldn't
want
to
give
my
money
and
have
tips
pooled
with
such
a
poor
excuse
for
service
bartender.
If
it's
not
your
night,
call
out,
go
home.
But
if
you're
on
the
clock,
have
the
decency
to
acknowledge
a
customer
standing
directly
in
front
of
you.
If
you
prefer
customers
to
bark
at
you,
thats
fair.
Just
wear
a
sign
next
time.
