99.99% of bartenders do not deserve this treatment, but this one will be satisfying for those of you who have ever encountered that 0.01% of folks who deserve their comeuppance. 

As someone who has often been mistreated by bartenders at noisy establishments that favor a more alpha male presence, I certainly enjoyed hearing about an entitled bartender getting called out for treating an innocent customer like a complete and total nuisance. This person was on the clock on a quiet night and was speaking on the phone. At first, like any patient customer, the Redditor assumed it was work-related or perhaps an emergency and politely waited for the bartender to wrap up the call. When it was finally the customer's turn to be served, the bartender was condescending, domineering, and intimidating. The final straw was the eye-roll after the bartender snickered at the customer's order, resulting in the Redditor ultimately just asking for a Coca-Cola. By the time they got the check, the Redditor had enough of this person and decided to use exact change to give her a hard time.

    The one time I was a bartender to This took place around 15 years ago. I was out with a bunch of colleagues on aw, and we were at a pub in the city we all lived in. Two of us went up to the counter (is this the correct word? English is not my first language), where the bartender was on the phone. We get it, they do need to take phonecalls from time to time. It could have been someone who wanted to make a reservation or something like that, and it wasn't a busy time of the evening.

    However, instead of signaling to us that she would be with us in a minute (like, make eye contact and hold up a finger), she gave us a look as if we were disturbing her and then demonstratively turned her back against us and kept talking.

    Since no one else was there to serve customers, we had to wait for her to finnish the phone call. When she did, she went over to us, rolled her eyes at us and with an annoyed tone said "Yes?"

    My co-worker ordered a beer and got that. I asked for a Smirnoff Ice. She scoffed and said, this time in a very condescending tone, "we dont sell that kind of soda-inspired beverages here, you know". I said "alright, I'll just have a coke then".

    Once again she rolled her eyes and gave me a coke, that she kind of slammed on the counter a bit from me so I would have to lean over or take a step to the side to reach. I decided to take a small revenge on her r

    I usually don't carry cash, but this time I actually did, and it was all coins. So instead of paying with my card as I usually would, I used the coins instead. I held them in my hand but just as she reached for them (once again with an eye roll), I slightly twitched my hand so the coins fell in different directions over the counter. Oh, the look she gave me..!
