"Hey mom, yeah I'll get to the hospital right away, just as soon as I pay my bill. I hope dad's okay...god where is that bartender?"

It's cool, I'll just start walking towards the door, you should have at least five seconds to decide whether you want your money or not.

"Oh, what's that, Hooker Girlfriend? You finally decided on what movie you're getting from Redbox... Fast and The Furious 12?! That's the best one!!! ...I'll pick you up at the 7-11 as soon as this lame bartender closes me out. ...Yeah, I've been waving my wallet at her this whole time... Never look the help directly in the eye, of course I know that. ...Oh, you want to try WHAT? Pick up some menthols and a dental dam and don't forget to bring your Paul Walker mask. ...I know, baby, I know. I love Paul-- uh, I love you too. I'll see you as soon as this BARFTENDER closes me out. Seriously, I'm about to literally shiv somebody with one of these pristine pint glasses. GAH!"

So you held an obnoxious man hostage without telling him why and this improves what how?

One would think you'd want to get rid of him as quickly as possible.

You're also entitled to talk btw.

This drives me nuts, too. In line at the grocery store, person in front of me on cell phone does not acknowledge the checker with language or eye contact. Swipes card, enters PIN, snatches receipt, picks up bags and leaves. Cell phone attached to head the whole time. Because other people don't rate. There was a sign at my local video store that read "Customers on cell phones cannot be helped." Get a sign.

You've had their whole existence of being there to communicate with said customer, and NOW you want to converse while he is on the phone and in a hurry it sounds like? WTF? Just let them leave. Normal people who have even an ounce of politeness, put a phone down if other communication is required at that moment. So for this person to wave his card at you, didn't imply that it was important for him to leave. You're an asshole.

Hey bartender, get over yourself. You pour drinks for a living and you can't even get drunk while you do it. It's essentially the same as working the register at McDonald's-- except you're wearing a low-cut shirt and the Muzak's louder.

Shut the fuck up and serve your customers already. If you don't like your job, go back to school and get a grown-up one.

Some rude asshole is using his cell and waving his debit card at you. It's clearly lame and rude behavior. Subjecting yourself to that schmuck for 5 more minutes just to prove a point that they'll never get? Good move chief!!!

Keep up the passive aggressive behavior and let us know how that works out for you. Dunce!!!

I'Anon, you are in charge of the situation. You can pretty much tell when you have had enough disrespect. It would be fine to let this person know you think they better lose the attitude. Point your finger in their face, and say enough of your crap. Slap your hand on the bar, and stare into their face.

"Respect me! I pour liquid into a cup!!! Get off your phone! It's degrading and creepy and rapey!"
