"...people don't go out to bars because they want to be served by rude, pompous a--holes. They go out to bars to get away from people like that, to forget the rigors of daily life, and if they can't find escape at your bar, they will find it somewhere else."

So true, a good bartender that doesn't assume that you have the same shitty attitude as the "Why is it taking me so long to get my Cosmo?" chick at the other end of the bar is a rarity. Most of us just want our simple beer or mixed drink and courteous, prompt as possible service so we can go back to our people watching, or on a good night go hit on the girl ordering the Cosmo.
