3 young obnoxious kids come in, just over 21 or so. They sit at the bar and I can tell their maturity level is at about a junior high level. These are the type of people I see all the time, their idea of a good drink is whatever has the most alcohol in it. If they order a whisky coke they want a glass full of whisky with a splash of coke. Not because they are whisky coniseurers, but because they think they just got a great deal on extra alcohol! The girl apologizes for her 2 guy friends, says she's a bartender too and she knows what it's like. Her boyfriend asks the prices on numerous drinks, looking for the most alcohol for no money. He asks me for 'the buddy hook up.' Now he's no buddy of mine, but since she's a bartender I know that they will hook me up if I hook them up. So I tell him if he orders the double he wants I'll just charge him for one. He asks for a 'man's drink,' after I suggest whisky on the rocks or a black russian, I give up and suggest an overly sweet bright yellow pineapple concoction I serve to chicks....turns out that's just what he is looking for. I make him the pineapple drink then pour a double shot of vodka and charge him for a martini, saving him about $10. He gives me exact change and I figure he'll leave the tip when he leaves.
I come back to check on them and he points to some spilled vodka on the bar rack, and complains that she spilled his drink! I've already figured these guys are going to be hooking me up big time, so I give him another double shot for free. An hour later they are still there and I'm getting worried. I stop by to give him the 15 cents change he had coming, and I made sure to show it to the girl.
I walk around the corner and 30 seconds later they're gone. I walk over and....he took the dime and left me the nickel. I guess that's my tip for hooking him up. Controlling my rage, I get a suspicion and go over to the "spill." Yeah, it's water. They knew exactly what they were doing, and finageled me for free alcohol. I can't believe that after 5 years living in Vegas I just got taken by a bunch of tourists! It's just the principle of the matter. God I hope they come in again, I will make up a story and have them 86'd from the casino.
