Bartenders never seem to hear me at the club and always make a simple drink terrible.?

Question

what can I ask for that they understand?

I ask for a screwdriver and they forget the orange juice

Answer 1

Whiskey - neat

Answer 2

How can they forget the OJ in a screwdriver?  It's vodka and OJ, that's it.  So you get just vodka?

All I can say is ask for a vodka and OJ, tall (you'll get more OJ).

I'm bashing the bartender, not you.

Answer 3

Ask for something they have to turn around to get, and then stab them in the back.

Teach those motherf****ers a lesson.

Answer 4

just ask somebody else to bring you your favorite drink

Answer 5

How do they forget the OJ? If I'm correct (which I know I am) isn't a screwdriver just vodka and OJ? So did they just hand you a huge glass of vodka???? Just stand closer to the bar and speak slowly, and clearly. And if they get it wrong, tell them to make it right.

Answer 6

Go to a different bartender

or a different bar in the club

or go to a different club.

Write down your order on a napkin.

Try ordering a bottle of beer.

Questions for you:

-Do you walk up to a busy bar and say: "What kind of beer do you have?" Then turn around and ask three friends what they are having, then say "um i think I'll get a screwdriver, oh wait, with Absolut." "Is the OJ from concentrate?"  If you waste his/her time they will resent it.

-Are you a regular who never tips? Wasting their time is much worse.

I never s***w up a drink on purpose, even if someone is a jackass, but sometimes i can't hear. It's even harder when the guest has a thick accent.  Try having a friend with a loud voice or lighter accent order for you, if this applies.

Hope this helps.

Answer 7

So ask for a vodka OJ
