This is why the bartender hates you.

1. The bartender?

Dude, everybody hates an asshole.

[seabeyond]

2. pick up plate. turn it over. get the money. not a tough one, lol. nt

[Tuesday Afternoon]

3. dry out the money. spend it. easy peasy.

[Darth_Kitten]

6. And a good drink gone to waste. Yeah, the wily bartender wins!

[Gidney N Cloyd]

4. You could retrieve the money out of a spitoon, too, but the customer's still an asshole.

[seabeyond]

5. meh.... generally a kid prank and whatever

now, if they left a penny or no money. i would think on the plate, it is even less, cause they made it really easy to retrieve or take away.

spitoon would rank with asshole, though.

7. Posted before, but always worth it.

What's the difference between a bartender and a proctologist?

























Proctologist only has to deal with one asshole at a time.

13. I was in a bar one time

and the guy next to me says to the pretty young lady tending bar "I sure would like to get in your pants." Her reply: "No thanks, one asshole in here is enough."

[Maine-ah]

18. ha!

I hate having to deal with assholes like that. I even had a guy once offer me $50 to show him my ta-ta's. WTF?

[GoneOffShore]

22. Brilliant!

[pitohui]

8. you try it and show us how

actually the whole reason this is an asshole move is that what you said doesn't work, so it's obvious you've never waited tables and don't know what you're talking about

i don't know why but somehow no matter how you try you always end up soaked with the water

[seabeyond]

9. yes, i was a waitress for about 5 yrs

And though I never had anyone do that to me, I have shown my kids the trick. Having it on a plate makes it really simple. Gees if afraid, carry plate to a sink and take the glass off.

So not a big deal. This is funny

It is tough when it is on the table and you have to slide glass off table onto something else, without spilling

[pitohui]

14. "i never had anyone do that to me" you weren't a waiter for 5 minutes

let alone five years

next?

[seabeyond]

16. what a ridiculously stupid comment. nt

[Maine-ah]

19. I've been waitressing and bartending

for 17 years, and I've never had anyone do that.

[petronius]

11. The dumbass left the glass sitting on a plate - anyone who couldn't flip

that back over without spilling wouldn't have the dexterity to wait tables in the place...

[rrneck]

12. Slide the glass to the edge of the table over another glass. nt

[pitohui]

15. as i said do it and show us how, there is such a thing as youtube

fact of the matter is, i'm not interested in horseshit from folks who ain't been there who think it looks easy

OF COURSE it looks easy to fix it, that's why it's a classic scam

show me on youtube how you picked up a tip w.out getting soaked

put up or shut up

[rrneck]

17. Sorry, cant help you. Im posting from a phone.

Surely it can't be that hard to visualize. The glass is upside down on a coaster. Slide the glass off the coaster (it will leak a bit). The seal will be between the table and the glass. Slide the glass to the edge of the table until it extends far enough to drain into another glass.

I did it when I was fourteen years old to my art teacher. I had turned a glass full of water upside down using a piece of cardboard then removed the cardboard. She pulled me out of another class expecting me to have to clean up the mess. The solution didn't occur to me until that moment. If a fourtiin year old kid can figure it out, it can't be that hard.

If the glass is on a bar with z bullnose or a raised edge that solution won't work. But if you'll notice the glass is still on the coaster. All You have to do is reverse the process that put it there. The coaster is stiff enough for you to lean it and get a finger under it. And if the bar has a bullnose edge, just slide it far enough over to get a finger under it. You could even slide a knife under the coaster to lean it far enough to get a finger under it.

If you think I'm going to video something so simple and upload it to YouTube to prove it to you you have overrated yourself. I've given You at least three solutions, try it and see.

20. Stand a few feet away from the table, lift the glass, take the money

It would probably not be the first spill of the evening. Stand away from the table and you don't get wet.

[digonswine]

10. I'll get wet for what's in there--

[geardaddy]

21. As kids we used to try to do that

with lamenated menus. It never really worked for us and we got soaked. Served us right, too.
