Why does a “good” bartender pour way too much into your cocktail?

| Just left a happy hour. Wanted only one quick drink with some colleagues before heading to daughter’s event at school. Bartender absolutely poured a TRIPLE shot over the rocks when I just ordered a simple bourbon and she charged me practically nothing. Now I’m sort of bombed waiting for my daughter’s event to begin. |

| You could have not finished the whole thing. (I suppose, this is not a thing I have ever done.) |

| Because she is kind and that’s what she assumed you wanted! Or maybe she wanted a tipsy tip |

| I let the ice melt and drink it watered down in that situation. |

| Most people want more for their money. By pouring extra, the bar tender is giving the customer what most people would be excited about. In return, the customer would give the bartender a good tip. |

| Witnessed similar over the weekend. A baby boomer husband and wife were drinking good scotch with ice with their dinner at the bar. Bartender asked if they wanted another, then proceeded to give them a 7 or 8 count each. In your 70s drinking like that will have crashing the electric golf cart on the way home. |

Bartender is looking out for social security solvency. |

Because alcoholism is pretty rampant and regular drinkers will complain if their drink is too weak.
This is also why I don't generally order cocktails. It's like drinking a giant shot. |

this is rarely a problem. i find most drinks are just overpriced soft drinks.
