if someone served me a martini like that I'd leave

lady ordered a "double vodka martini with no vermouth" from me once. she just wanted a lot of chilled vodka in a martini glass but whatever.

>>17062087
2/3 of all white women that order a martini tell me "no vermouth". Had one fail to say that as if I was supposed to assume as much and then told me she's on a keto diet and can't drink vermouth. Like lady, a half an ounce isn't going to ruin your meme diet any more than a ton of vodka.

"You're about to get served... Bitch."
Is the correct bartenders response.
And honestly I'm surprised they didn't get offended that you didn't say that.

Rude.

>>17062066
What do bartenders think of people who order certain types of drinks?

>tell your bartender some of this autism
>you still get whatever random crap they decide to dump in a glass for you
Fuck bartenders honestly.

>>17062066
I used to order martinis all the time, but never sat at the bar, and I can't tell you how many times servers asked me if I wanted it "with or without ice" (often times after I specified "up"). I also work BoH so know that servers are fucking retarded, but still.

>>17062098
it's weird because they could just say "up" at most places and it would be served in a martini glass wouldn't it? but martinis are also made with more than a shot of liquor and there's a button in the POS system to ring it up so they were actually making my life easier not having to figure out what 1.5 shots should cost.

>>17062612
I more meant their opinions on people who order a martini vs a jaeger bomb vs a shot of bourbon vs a beer vs whatever

>>17062644
if the bar sells it they're happy to pour it, it doesn't matter. if you're asking for things they don't have it's stressful for everyone.

>>17062669
Surely they have personal thoughts when some chick walks up and asks for some fruity drink. Like
>this one is a sloppy drunk
Or something

>>17062676
no, literally never. I spend all day making up fruity drinks, why would I care. "martini" is a little annoying because you have to find out what they really mean but that's more of a language problem

>>17062066
My dad has had a double beefeater martini on the rocks with a twist his whole life. Literally never seen anyone else order this

>>17062066
in your butthole, you know those darn millenials always into buttstuff

what do bartenders think about people who don't know what they want

>>17062644
I hate people who order beer because supply shortages now means my bar can't have all 36 taps running, so instead of 8 IPAs we only have 6 right now. At least 40% of people that come in want one specific beer and if we don't have it then they'll get pissy and loudly announce to the entire bar that we "have nothing". Like yeah man, sorry we're at 2/3 tap capacity and don't have the specific brand of bug spray you like.

>>17062922
If they want a beer just wait for them to not look at the tap handles and name thirty random craft brews until they give up and order Bud Light because that's easier than reading.
If they liquor there's a 50/50 chance they'll let you make them whatever, otherwise they'll just order Tito's and soda or Captain and Coke.

wtf I found an anime of some girls locked in a bathroom and they start to kill each other well I pass the link of the video

>>17062084
I order martinis served down because I dont like looking like a faggot.

>>17062644
No. Most people literally don’t give a fuck what you order or buy where they work unless you’re making weird requests or asking for special shit that isn’t normally offered and requires a ton of extra work.

>>17063760
"YES BARTENDER? I WANT TO BUY A ROUND OF MOJITOS FOR THE WHOLE BAR PLEASE!"

>>17063774
bar I went to after work specified no mojitos alongside frozen drinks and I appreciate that because fuck mojitos

>>17063778
"NO WORRIES MY GOOD MAN, HOW ABOUT 6 INDIVIDUAL MIXED SHOTS FOR MY FRIENDS STARTING WITH THIS ONE OBSCURE SHOT I HAD AT A COLLEGE BAR 10 YEARS AGO, ITS OKAY IM SURE YOU CAN JUST GOOGLE IT!"
>TIPS 3 DOLLARS

>>17063785
>tips $3
lol, as if those "people" would be so generous. Bar I work at is attached to a mall/movie theater so you can take shit in to power through your Hollyzog shlock, but we also close earlier than a normal bar. There's these two chucklefucks that will always come in right at last call and order 4 long islands, 2 to have at the bar and 2 to take in. They'll take their sweet time drinking the first round and then depending on who pays tip $2 for the whole tab or not tip at all.

>>17062598
mate, they're bartenders
they're not in a position to judge anyone

No vermouth is called bone-dry I think but what the F is up?

>when someone sits down at the bar and whines about DeSantis and says everyone needs to get the vaccine unprompted

>>17063808
In a stemmed cocktail glass like literally every place will serve a martini by default

>>17063808
This is a martini glass.
By degault this is what it should be served in.

This is called surving it UP. As in the drink is high up.

Sometimes if a customer isnt a homosexual he might ask for his martini to be served down. In this case a regular old glass is used instead.

>>17063968
Are you calling James Bond a homosexual?

>>17063808

>>17063892
it used to mean the alcohol was shaken or stirred with ice to chill it and strained into a cocktail glass. that "up" meant "chilled" was the most important interpretation when you were serving their drink because chilling and not chilling totally changes the product.
"neat" would be the opposite, just liquor in its room-temp form served in a short glass.

>>17064124
Kind of. A shaken martini is colder and more diluted than stirred, so you taste the alcohol (and everything else) less. It's not the usual way to make the drink, certainly, and results in a weaker but smoother drink.

>>17062676
Anon, no one gives a fuck about you. You are money and they need that to survive. Cashiers don’t care about you either. They get paid to scan groceries, not judge you for buying 3 dildos and a microwave. You’ll be a lot happier when you realize you’re a nobody no one is ever going to recognize.

>>17063794
I literally never tip at bars. I hate that you try to make a living stirring drinks so I do my part in depriving you just a little bit. Fuck the service industry.

>>17066276
I used to judge pretty harshly but it's not like I could do anything about it.

>>17066288
Yeah, that’s why you work at a bar. You’re a shitty person.

Only because you can down them faster that way.

No, I'm calling Ian Fleming a dumb faggot.
He wrote what he knew about, which wasn't that much, guy was a desk jockey during WW2. Bond's first gun was a 25 ACP, for fuck's sake.

>>17066766
>worked for naval intelligence during WWII
>just a desk jockey
I bet your trained in gorilla warfare, huh

>>17067078
if you're going to read his wikipedia article to try and "prove me wrong" you should at least read the whole thing.

>>17067088
I don't think you have any idea what the Naval Intelligence Division did, nor the kind of conflict WWII was, do you?

the only thing they ever ask when I order a martini is whether I want it dry or dirty which I don't know what it means so I say dry
