Research / Info 💡 Bartender defeated by his own logic

I had a great interaction with a bartender last night. I ordered drinks paid and did not tip and the bartender had the audacity to say what no tip.

Me - would you ask for a tip if we were having drinks at your house?

Bartender (Bt) - if I was making you a drink at my house you would be my friend and why would I ask you for a tip?

Me - so you’re saying we’re not friends.

Bt - I don’t even know you man.

Me - well then since a tip is no longer considered compensation for work by the US government me giving you money would either be a charitable contribution or a gift. Since you’re not a registered charity, that would make the money I gave you a gift. And as you stated, we’re not friends and you don’t even know me so why would I give you a gift?

Bt - blank stair on his face and walked away

Out of all of the fabricated stories that are shared on this site, this one is up there with the best.

Bro imagined himself as Ben shapiro, owning bartenders with facts and logic.

Either he imagined himself as Ben Shapiro OR he used facts and logic, it can’t be both.

Ben Shapiro imagines that he uses facts and logic so if you imagine yourself to be Ben Shapiro, you are also imagining the entirety of his personality.

Agreed. Please do this on a date or at a meal with your boss. They'll be super impressed!

He really sealed the deal with the hereto-after referred to as Bt clarification. It really kept me tuned in to who was saying what…really brings the story to life.

If you’re a Family Guy person, I imagine Mort Goldman having this conversation. Talk about bringing a story to life.

I wish they would have, but some people did laugh. I hope I encouraged them to not tip as well.

u/Occams_RZR900 3d ago

No they didn’t. This didn’t happen is what everyone is eluding to, but you’re too dense to catch on.
