My friend Sarah has talked me into starting this, so here goes. I was gonna wait until I had something new to report, but unfortunately (?) no one asked/said anything stupid this week. Now, doing what I do I find that hard to believe. But it's true. So I will throw out a couple of oldies, just so you can get the gist. A couple of weeks ago I asked a regular toward the end of happy hour if she wanted one more. She contemplates a bit and says "Yes, I'll have one more." I walked behind the bar to add the drink to their tab on the computer. Before I can turn around to make the drink I hear "69, 69 it!" I turn around to see who is yelling 69 through the restaurant. It's my customer. She is trying to tell me to cancel her drink. One of the servers was walking by at the same moment and asked if she needed help. She said yes, tell her (moi) to "69 that drink, they had to go." The server asked, "do you mean 86?" Yes, yes she did. :)
Last week a guy sat up at the bar with his hot son. The hot part is just for my benefit, it really has no relevance to the story accept maybe how this nerdy Dad had such a hot son. Anyway, the Leinie's Honey weiss tap is on the end, big yellow canoe, gross beer (imo). Dad sits down. "Leinie's Honey weiss, is that Leinie's Red?" Me: "No, that's Honey weiss." Dad: "That's not the red?" Me, as I'm pouring him a taste, "No, it's Honey weiss, here's a taste. We don't carry the red" Dad: "Oh, I know what it tastes like, I had some in the airport. I remember the big yellow canoe." I guess he was thinking that a big yellow canoe with the word Honey weiss on it is how Leinenkugal displays all their beer on tap? Have a good night
