'When I text you good night later, what phone number should I use?': 20+ bartenders share the most memorable pickup lines they've heard on the job

Here's a friendly reminder that when you approach someone at a bar with a bold pickup line, chances are there is at least one other person who is hearing everything you say: your bartender. If this list serves one productive function in this world, let it be something that motivates you to always tip your bartenders generously because you know they have to hear a ton of nonsense on the job from singletons attempting to flirt. Sometimes, as these folks from r/AskReddit shared, people were trying to flirt with their bartenders directly; other times, these bartenders had to witness their regulars feed a version of the same line to various potential dates night after night. Sure, watching this is probably distracting at work, but it's also a fascinating look at the various reactions these fools get and what their success rate (or lack thereof) looks like. As someone who never really had any "game" to begin with, I could have used an inside look at some of these pickup lines for brainstorming purposes.

Keep scrolling below for the full list. When you're done, feel free to take a look at this collection of relatable 'me IRL' moments.
