So I'm in central Wisconsin on business and head to the hotel bar with another coworker after a long day to order a couple of Jim Beams, straight up. This young bartender fills both 7 oz tumblers with ice and gets ready to pour when we stop him; NO ICE!
He grabs a nearly empty bottle of Beam and finishes it off with what looks like a regular pour into one of the glasses and opens another bottle. Without saying a word he keeps adding to the first glass, glug, glug, glug, until it is filled to the top and ready to spill over. Then he moves to the other glass and does the same. By then my eyes are wide opened and I'm starting to laugh, thinking he can't be serious. My coworker is looking back and forth between the two glasses with this Holy Shit look on his face and I completely lose it.
Well, there is this really cute girl filling out a new job application at the end of the bar and she's looking at us like we're stupid for laughing at nothing, which made it even funnier and I end up leaving for the bathroom so I can try to catch my breath because it's the funniest damn thing I've ever seen a bartender do. Every time I try to come back my coworker is sitting there with his shoulders bouncing up and down from laughing, so it took at least 10 minutes to come back. Later on we learned from the bar manager that the first bartender is the kitchen manager who gets drunk off of one or two wine spritzers and he ended up laughing until he cried too, but he's planning on some training his people a little better. :icon_conf
The young guy came back in a couple of times by himself, and we kept trying to get a couple of "glasses" of Johnny Walker Blue, but the real bartender came back, so no luck. Once we told the manager what happened he started cutting us deals for saving money down the road, and two serious buzzes later (four beers, two long island iced teas, three shots, and one JB Rye, and more that I forgot) I paid a grand total of just over $21 for the both of us. :naughty: I almost feel bad about the $10 tip I left. These things should happen more often. :biglaugh:
