8 Infuriating Customer Types Every Bartender Knows

8. The Amateur Mixologist

Family Guy This absolute snob is a jerk, and their drink order is incredibly finicky and annoying because in essence this person thinks extremely highly of themselves. This is the kind of customer that thinks that because they have made one cocktail in their life/done a cocktail course/read how to make cocktails they think that they are the kind of cocktails. They seem to want to impress you by reciting their previous cocktail-making experiences, coupled with their life story and some stupid story over how you make the best Mojito. The worst is when this person hasn't even come into a cocktail bar, and instead they are trying to make conversation over the loud music of a busy nightclub, while you are trying to serve four other people who are standing at the bar, ready to order something, pay and leave unlike the 'Amateur Mixologist' who continues to stay at the bar, gnawing your ear off and taking up the space where other customers could be ordering from. Standard Order - Cocktail (Cosmopolitan, Mojito, Cuba Libre)
