[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is nothing creepy about this.

Bartenders, however, deal with plenty of creeps. They are not being nice, or remembering you or your drink, because they like you or think you are special. It is to increase tips.[/quote]

Why would I tip more because he remembered me and my drink? Who asked for or seeks such a thing?[/quote]

Who the eff goes to a bar as a single person? [b]Someone looking to socialize.[/b] And then goes back and complains that the bartender remembered their order (which is bartender for socialization; they're not really your friend)? It's ingratiating behavior in the service industry, and you should just accept your weirdnesses and either drink alone or sober up altogether.

You're a mess.[/quote]

I have a work account in that area. I went once three weeks ago for one drink. I returned three weeks later for one drink. Zero interest in socializing. I don’t consider it good service to be talked to like a bar fly or remembered by a male bartender. It made me feel uncomfortable and I’m sure most solo women would agree.[/quote]

You are completely wrong and have some serious issues. No one spoke to you like a barfly, and your condescending attitude is unnecessary. Get over yourself. As a single female who travels for work, I would have zero issues having a bartender, male or female, remember my drink. That's what they do. As one PP said, more often than not, they will remember nothing more about you than your drink because their job is to serve you drinks. While there are a few bad seeds out there, bartenders are usually not the predators and help keep an eye on things and keep the people in their bars safe. Most bartenders get hit on so often that, trust me, they are not going to take your name from your credit card and stalk you on SM. They.do.not.care.about.you. Based on your responses to this thread, I would guess you were such a miserable patron that you made yourself memorable.

I suggest you stick to room service when you are traveling, as you apparently don't understand how the service industry works. [/quote]
