I forgot the word for "whiskey" once. Bless that bartender for waiting there patiently as I tried to describe whiskey to him.

Complaining about your drink and expecting a free one.

I'm a bartender in Denmark, though I'm from Canada. I have this interaction EVERY NIGHT I WORK. "Can I get a beer?" "We have 20 beer types on draft and 36 in bottles. Which would you like?" "A beer." Carlsberg. You're getting Carlsberg.

"Excuse me, Sir! It's my bff's birthday can we have a round of birthday shots!? Sure! *makes 5 shots. "Ok will that be it?" Yes omg you're the best. "Ok that will be $22.56, or do you want me to keep your tab open?" Them- "umm but it's her birthday" I HATE THAT!!!!

I'm not even a bartender yet this still annoyed me so much.

"Hey, make me a Whiskey Sour, but you know, a man drink. Make it real strong." I ask him if he wants a double, he says yes. I charge him a double, he complains that it's more expensive than a regular drink. You order a man drink, I expect you to have a man pocket to pay for it.

I once overheard a guy order a grey goose martini, no vermouth, no garnish, extra cold...so basically just chilled vodka in a martini glass. After the bartender made the drink in front of him, he takes a few sips and gets his attention to complain that it "just doesn't have the 'bite' of vodka"...

Me to customer who just sat down at my bar: “Good evening, would you like to look at a drink menu?” Customer: “no thanks” Me: “okay, what can I get you started on?” Customer: “well what do you have on draft?”.... Me: *takes a deep breath and lists 15 draft beers* Customer: “I’ll just take a bud light” Meanwhile 5 other people just sat down at my bar, but instead of greeting them I’m taking care of this moron 🙄

Really annoys me when customers get funny with me and ask if I'm old enough to even serve them. Mate I'm obviously 18 or I wouldn't work in a bar and do you want your drink or not?

"excuse me but we have been waiting awhile" well sorry for the line of people in front of you

I hate when they say reallly loud while paying the bill in front of their friends "keep the change". Then you count it and they left almost no tip at all.

When I worked briefly in a bar and when the guy asked for a beer and said he didn't mind what brand, I immediately went for the most expensive one at £20! I'm so evil

"Can I get a TALL rum and coke"... "um, this drink is weak can you put more rum in it, I said TALL didn't I"

This bartender is actually hot

We serve food, so I get this one a lot; Me: "So which table are you sitting at?" Customer: "Oh, over there" *vaguely motions to area with 20 tables. Every. Bastard. Day.

There's this bar near my campus that has a half dozen different chargers on hand just for those customers.

I'm a girl and I work part-time in a pub while I do my undergraduate degree. Poured a customer the SICKEST pint of ale ever and he proceeded to give me instructions on "how to do it properly' and kept referring to me as 'sweetheart' and 'darling'. If you want your beer poured differently that's cool by me, but don't assume that I don't know how to do my job

people refusing to leave when its closing time and don't seem to realize that the baretenders have a home to go to, but before we can actually go home we have an hours worth of cleaning to get done. im also working tonight 8.30pm-5am in a bar..

I once asked for a Corona at a bar, the girl asked me "are you sure"?

*once you've poured their drink and served it* customer: "oh what?! no way that's so expensive! why are your drinks so expensive" me: I..don't make the prices, and the drinks been poured. sorry x

One of my favorite stories to tell is when I went to see The Fray at this private concert thing in Atlantic City and there was a bar. I was only like, sixteen and I had never ordered anything for myself at a bar before. I got a Shirley Temple, it was like, 2 bucks, and I had no idea how to tip bartenders. I wound up putting down 3 bucks as a tip. I started to walk away and I heard the bartender go, "Hey, thanks a lot!" I was so worried that I hadn't tipped a lot and he was being sarcastic. Later when I told my parents, they looked at me like I was crazy. Welp, at least I made the bartender happy. :P

Can I get a Heineken? "Here you go" Thanks. THERE. THATS HOW YOU ORDER A BEER.

that bartender is ...yummmm

I work on the bar at a bowling alley, and I get these all the time... 1. People don't know which beer they want, and then want me to describe the difference between Carling, Stella and Batemans. 2. No, I will not top your beer up when you've left it on the bar for 5 minutes before drinking it. That's not my problem. 3. 'Can you make me a cocktail?' No, I can't. If we made cocktails, there would be a cocktail menu. 4. The Coke glasses we have are designed for ice, so when you pour it with no ice, it comes out not looking full. Don't complain at me, I don't make the machines, I just pour the drinks. 5. The sign says that we do either a large or small glass of wine. So no, I can't pour you a medium, even after you've asked twice, and I've said no twice. 6. No, I won't serve your daughter alcohol when she doesn't have her I.D. Mother's word that she's 18 wont stop me from being fined and fired. 7. The sign says I can't serve you if you're under 18. I know you only want coke, but you can go to the diner and order there, and then it will be bought over to you. Anyone else experience any of these?

"Can I get twelve JagerBombs please?" *Dies internally*

Do you know any bar tricks? Lmao I just thought of dil failing in Sims.

One thing i hate is those few people who come into the bar all the time and order the same thing everytime, but they always ask how much!! Like dude, when you came in here yesterday it was $5 for a Corona and its still the same price. Its been 5 bucks for the past 4 years you've been coming here!. Lol

Guy: Can I get a vodka straight. Me: A straight shot. Guy: yeah! *pours* Guy: can I get some ice in it. And some juice. ....

My extreme hate comes from patrons who are just over legal limit, and they get upset when I ask for I.D.

Ordering the Guinness last

"Do you know any bar tricks?" Yes, but I'll need a twenty dollar bill...(takes money) I just tricked you out of twenty bucks, now order a drink or leave.

When something won't scan "oh it must be free" heard it soo many times

Person: Can I get a Gin and Tonic? Me: sure, we have quite a few gin, 80 in fact, but unfortunately we don't have any of the regular Gins, Bombay, Hendricks, or Gordon's. Of course I can recommend something similar though that depends on what you like. Something dry? Something botanical? Something flavoured? I personally like - Customer:...you know what I'll just take a white wine. Me: certainly madam (smirks evilly)

I've worked in a bar and someone said 'do you know any bar tricks?' I said 'yes it's called the Fruit Punch' so I grabbed a watermelon and threw it at him.

I'm friends with the owner!! Oh, really? Well, why don't you call him up? Well, I don't have his number. Really? I thought you were friends.

I had one experience as a bartender in a small pub in Canada when a big group of drunk soldiers came in all at once. I was working alone that night. They broke 10 glasses, stole a beer neon sign and a dart board. Completely lost respect for them

I just started working at a bar a couple of days ago and I hate when ppl snap at u like give me a min damn im trying to serve like 30 + ppl calm down

You need to do one for Cashiers.

makes you name every drink on tap then just orders a bottled budweiser and wants that one drink on a card. don't be that person

I'm not a bartender but I got so aggravated.

I once had to wait extremly long at the bar because I was constantly overlooked. When I finally got my drink after 25 minutes the bartender dropped a bottle of orange juice and it spilled everywhere including my eyes. It burned strong and very uncomfortable and I had to fight tears really hard. The bartender overlooked me again, didn't notice me at all and therefore didn't bother to apologize. I didn't tip them and they looked at me like I was the unfriendliest customer ever.

Lite ice..... It does not mean more alcohol. You end up with a warm weak drink. If you want a stronger drink pay for a double.

That bartender looks so cute!

I work in a pub, which serve both food and beer. The worst ever is when someone comes up to the bar, looks at the beer menu on the wall and asks "what do you recommend?" And I hold lectures about how different beers go with what they're eating in different ways bla bla bla, and then they'll just look to out cheapest tap, point and say "Nah, I'll just have that one."

One of my most annoying stories was when a guy asked for a Bicardi and coke and we were out of Bicardi. Me: “I’m sorry, but we’re out of Bicardi.” Him: “No Bicardi?” Me: “No Bicardi.” Him: “...What do you have that’s similar?” Me: “We have rum. Dark, spiced and white.” Him: “Oh... I just want a Bicardi and coke.” Me: “We don’t have any left.” Him: “No Bicardi?” Me: Getting annoyed “No Bicardi.” So he brings his wife over and asks her what she wants. Wife: “I’ll just have a Bicardi and coke.” Me: “I’m sorry, but we’re all out of Bicardi.” Wife: “No Bicardi?” Me: Wanting to repeatedly snack my head on the bar until I get a concussion. “No Bicardi.” Wife: “What rum do you have?” Me: “We have dark, spiced and white.” Wife: “What do you have?” Me: “Dark, spiced and white.” Wife: “I just want a rum and coke.” FOR THE LOVE OF-

if i become a bartender and someone ask for just "a beer" i'm giving them wine instead. and i'd make sure it's the worst wine in the damn building.

"i know the owner" "can i get a scotch, make it johnny walker, make it black, in a short glass with ice and coke" and im like "so johnny walker black and coke"?

I do bar work in a theatre and the most annoying thing we get is 'do you have *really specific and obscure spirit brand*' like son this bar is on wheels and the ice is in a large bowl, do you think we imported anything?

I do the same thing I do when I order coffee, I either A) order off the menu using whatever vocabulary the establishment uses OR B) Order a fairly simple but nice drink that every bartender/barista should know. Or C) I go there often and they know me and then I get slightly fancy.

The bartender is so sweet I feel bad for him.

"Can I bring you a beer list?" "No, I don't need a list. Just tell me what's on draft." "....well we have 30 different taps so...I'm getting you a damn list."

Surprise me, surprise me. OMG I've heard that so many times. i just pour the most expensive drink i have near to me.

Working at a bar that make everything fresh, and they say they dont want any simple syrup in their drink or they dont want it to be sweet.... MOTHER FLOWER if i dont give you any sugar in your drink its gonna taste like crap. If people stopped going to club and having drinks full of high fructose corn syrup life at the bar would be so much better.

I'm tired of hearing "Why are you so tall?" "How tall are you?" "Do you play basketball?" "Stop being so tall" I just want to be normal :(

I'm a glass colecter, so not a bartender, but still part of the bar staff. "What do you mean you don't serve drinks?" Is the one that gets me the most. I'm next to the dishwasher up to my elbows in soapy water trying to dislodge to gum from the bottom of YOUR dirty glass. You're here every week and you haven't seen me pour a single alcoholic drink in the four months I've been here. Go away. "But, I saw you get a drink for that person there." Is an occasional thing they follow up with. The drink they're refering to is always a tap water and the other barstaff were busy at the time.

I'm a bartender and I've heard ALL OF THESE :(

"can i get a beer" this question makes me so mad. just tell me what u want. if you just say beer im gonna assume you are already drunk

surprise me drives me insane, I find it hard enough to make my own decisions and now you want me to make yours too?

"can I have a peroni and carling" *poores drinks* "what am I meant to do with this, I said a bottle of peroni!" * internally strangles you with my mind

I was sick of being asked out by creepy guys in bars when I worked there.

I hate it when people ask me for a beer....which one?

dear god this is so accurate it actually triggered a flashback. yep jobs like these can give you ptsd.

I am a bartender and I deal with this every night at work. These situations while annoying are nothing compared to dealing with an overserved patron who needs to be shut off. If I acted like some of the customers I deal with I would not be allowed in their places of business.

his face after the beer order

I can vouch for these. Also, in my country we have to stop serving someone if they look intoxicated. So.. that's also a fun addition to all this.

Jbartenders should just make the most expensive drink is someone says "suprise me" cause getting charged $30+ for a single drink would suprise me

lol the comment section is people relating to this otherwise not even kowing HOW to order a drink (me too xD), but i'm over here like THIS BARTENDER IS CUTE THOUGH!!!

Very similar to working in fast food. "Can I have a burger?" "Sure, which one." "A burger." "...like a Whopper? A tendercrisp..?" "A burger." Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE

God bless that patient man's soul.

The 'can you make a mojito' question is a legit thing to ask though, I've been to far too many places where people say they don't know how to make it if I ask for one. Once I even saw the guy at the bar go into a small backroom and google how to make it...

I can soooo relate. I hate when people can't choose drinks from the menu, instead they ask for a cocktail, that has a lot of alcohol, but not too much, not too sweet, a little bit of spice and it has to taste sassy.. Like.. what?

One time I had a guy come in ordering a diluted bourbon. I asked him if he wanted a lime (we get a lot of guests asking for limes even for drinks served neat), so out of courtesy and because my job is about hospitality and pleasing the guests, I ask. He then starts to give me a lecture on how I'm doing my job wrong and how bourbon should only be drank neat or up and by itself and I should never ask that question again.

What am I tired of hearing? Umm I guess when people say, "what's wrong with you? Why don't you socialize with people?" I usually say "maybe because I don't like people? You ever think of that?"

It is shocking how true this is. I am happy I'm not the only one that deals with these kinds of people.

wow I knew bartenders had to deal with some shit but this is beyond my expectations, how do they even?

It you talk to me like this, I'll make you wait 30 minutes before you get your drink

I feel really bad because I don't drink a lot (which is fine) and because of that I have no idea what I like so when I go out to a bar or a club I'm like a deer in head lights.

Wow, I can so relate. I've had all of this happen to me while working

Best thing about Britain: when you order a beer without specifying a brand they will just pour you the cheapest one. It also makes the most sense in business. People will come back to the bar with friends who will buy more expensive drinks because the beer drinker believes this is a cheap bar/pub. The cheapest beer still makes a profit for the business and the customer comes away far more satisfied and likely to drink more/return more.

I'll remember this when i turn 21 and go to a bar

that bartender is pretty hot ngl

The longer I work at this job the more I love animals😂😂 okay but its really funny what kind of ppl you meet and sometimes you make reeallyy good friends. 👍🏼 nice video

What kills me is when someone double orders. So they order off me and I've a backlog of orders in my head they can't see, expect their drinks imidiently and when they don't get it order off someone else. Before you know it there's double the drink and they play stupid to get out of buying it all

I hate when people give me a nickname... It makes me feel like they've been in here before but I don't remember them...

Wow that was just annoying yo watch. Are ppl really that annoying???

When I go to the local bar, I order exactly what I want and they've never failed me. "Diet Mountain Dew, no ice, please." Bam. Perfect, every time.

I have an example too: "we want to drink shots!" - "which alcohol?" - "don't care, surprise us!" - "how about tequila?" (my favorite alcohol to drink) - "eww no not tequila.." - "... Well then... Jägermeister?" - "eww no that one either." Or a guy who orders shots for a girl and says "I need a girly shot" and I KNOW they mean an alcohol that is not that strong and tastes sweet but I'm always replying with "well, what do you mean with girly shot? I Love Tequila, you want tequila?" And they always tell me that well, I am different than most girls then

I'm tired of stupid people when sit on table and the table it is RESERVED Or I am tired of people when they want to look smart and say "do you know what its Latte Macchiato,do you even know how to prepare it?!"

omg this reminds me of the drive thru @ maccas when I work in that area. They say 'hello, service' thru the speaker. So I make them wait longer

Never been to a bar or drank but still watching this video because I love Buzzfeed ^_^

So I will not be a bartender anytime soon cause this just made me want to punch all of the customers in the face.

Having worked in bars now for well on 5 years I can say it's sad to say that all these "stereotypes" in this video exist In the world. It's also quite possible that people who have never been in this situation don't understand that it's more than acceptable to not like these people! Just as a note I'm UK based so they whole tipping your servers is lost on me! A bartender is not required to : Know how to make every known drink/cocktail Know what drink you want when you say "surprise me" or "anything I don't mind" Be happy with how long it takes you and your entourage to order your round especially when your random ass late friend wants a Guinness of all things and knew it needed to sit and still waited until last to voice his order! We shouldn't be expected to be happy or smile with our job given how many stupid people walk into a bar (that's just stupid people and not generalising as everyone! Not everyone is a stupid customer!) The fact that most people who pay for one drink by card don't realise that it's not even worth the effort and you should just find the cash! TABS NEED PAYING!!! And I'm not your best friend, baby sitter, dad, cleaner, mind reader or anything else you can think of! You are not getting free drinks or extra because you bought a big round, you are not getting your drink exchanged for free because you don't like it ! You asked for a double, I poured you a double I gain nothing for trying to cheat you! Also guys just because you are with the guys doesn't mean I want to treated like one of the guys and ladies your "flirting" with me will neither get you a drink or anything else for free! No you can't come behind the bar! No we don't have that drink that's "everywhere" that's just how it goes! You look 12, no ID no drink! When I do serve you don't point to the guy next to you and say "this guys next right?" No, no he isn't! And so so much more only bartenders and restaurant staff will understand but you have us all misunderstood you see I really like my job! You see for everyone 100 nobodies that burst into my bad I will always meet 1 somebody that makes my job worthwhile ! So folks whilst this video has been made just for the funnies, and the people in the comments that believe your bartenders to be unhappy with their jobs, next time why not try just standing at the bar waiting your turn and realise In those moments whilst you wait that infront of you is someone working their ass off whilst you wait for your drink and that when they get to you that you will have their undivided attention and they will focus on making only you happy and satisfied for as long as they are making your drink and taking your order! Be considerate folks bartenders are doing their job while you aren't!

When they say, "Just surprise me?" with no input whatsoever of their likes or dislikes.

I admire their patience

the bar tender... i've seen him somewhere. Does he look familiar to anyone else? if yes, where did you see him? in which videos?

Things Bartenders Want You To Stop Doing: Watching Buzzfeed.

Some of my personal favourites. I'm a bartender from the UK *" can I have a wine please" doesn't say which wine they want or if they want small,medium,large or bottle * Orders a massive round for all of their mates and is shocked at how much it all comes to. "It can't be right" *wants a strong spirit but doesn't want a double *"you should smile" *When the room loud a large amount of people and live music playing but the customer talks super quiet and turns all different directions so I can't even try to figure out what they are ordering *complaining about having no ice or lemon/lime in drink. I can't magic them from thin air if we have just ran out *when you take a massive order and they give you their membership discount card after you have put it all though * Guys thinking that your head is located in your chest area. *When you have to ID someone because of the 25 challenge law and they take it out on you because apparently I'm a t**t for wanting to keep my job and not get into trouble by the law. I do really like my job, these are just some pet peeves. Most of the time I enjoy working behind the bar, its these situations which make my job slightly awkward at time. I mainly joke about these things because I have learnt to become thick skinned because people are under the influence.

"It'sssss my birthday" Umm, no. I'm still holding your ID, and it very much is not.

I'm tired of hearing people yell :"GINGER" at me 😪( btw i'm strawberry-blond not ginger 😁)
