I’d like to speak to the manager!!!

I was going to leave it at one post tonight, but I checked our survey report just before I started writing.  

One person tonight gave us a 70%.

His comment:

The drinks were heavy on the pour.  Not always a bad thing but more booze doesn’t always mean it’s better. 

Hmmm.

So, I log into our POS, and look up his check.  

Was his rum and coke too rummy?

I find the server, find the check.

Table 23.  

4-top.

6:45.  Seated 15 minutes early. 

Their order?  

A drink called “The Way Life Should Be.”

Ahhh.  

It’s a drink, that a million other restaurants in the area serve a version of.  

And what is this drink?

A blueberry.

Fucking.

Martini.

A fucking martini was too boozy.  

Seriously.

It’s 90% vodka.

VODKA.

Of course, it’s heavy on the liquor.  

It’s a fucking martini. 

Fun fact:  At least 10 times in my life while serving I had someone ask if they could get a virgin martini.
