The nerve...

So this particular night was somewhat a busy night and people were getting there drink-on. There was this couple Ben and Lia who sat right in front of my well (area where bartenders make drinks) and were from some foreign country. I could barely understand their orders but I tried. They seem to be pretty cool. Tips were pretty decent each round and they were drinking pretty heavy. They also had a friend Carey, which from the looks was a friend of the Lia. Carey was mainly talking to the Lia and Ben was the one forking over the money to pay for the drinks.

Common practice, especially if your lady has a friend the guy always offers to get a couple of drinks to be courteous to his lady's friend. Well this cat was being overly courteous, meaning getting every round and drink for this "friend." Some guys got it like that as far as being able to pay, and this particular guy had no problem. He paid cash for all the rounds with crisp 20's.

It was all good until the Lia's friends came to the bar. And Lia was so annoying, screamed from the top of her lungs, like every other 2 minutes. Of course everyone was introduced to the couple Ben and Lia and Carey's friends. Within this group of friends were 3 other girls and 2 other guys. They started to converse and then one of the women in the group of friends started to order drinks for the whole group. So I made the order and the total came out to $42.

"Put it on his tab," she said reffering to Ben. "He doesn't have a tab," I replied.

She looked baffled like something was terribly wrong or something. It was pretty hilarious actually in my opinion. Let me break it down to you folk what just happened. Carey who was friends with this couple Ben and Lia told her friends that her Lia's boyfriend or husband bought all her drinks so he'll buy all your's too. So this Carey's girl-friend ordered for the whole group thinking it would be paid for by Ben.

I turned to Ben and said "$42 bro." He said, "I'm not paying for that round." Carey's friends and Ben exchanged some words Carey's friend then got mad at Ben calling him a dick. The nerve of this chick! She should have never assumed that Ben would be paying for her drinks just cause he paid for Carey's. In the end I got the money for the drinks from this chick who seemed so upset and embarrased I suppose. People don't try to score free drinks by piggybacking off someone else's tab or friends.
