Story: Specials
We run a pretty sick special at the club. From 8:30-10:30, we offer $2 You Call It Cocktails and Beer. Any drink or any beer in the house is $2. This does not include Red Bull drinks ($2 upcharge for any drink) or shots (we'd rather people pace themselves somewhat).
I like it. Alot of places run 10-12 specials just to get people in the doors. Shit like 50 Cent drinks, or $1 You call its. Hello, welcome the cheapskates.
Our special packs the place early and then people stay for the awesome atmosphere. Great DJ. Awesome bands. We offer it all.
However, there are those folks who come just for the special. I can't blame them, drinking for cheap is great.
Take, for example, "I'm a balla drinking Grey Goose guy." He has no problem ordering rounds of 5-10 Grey Goose drinks for his buddies. They're ballas, right? Only dudes with huge incomes drink Grey Goose, right?
This guy does one of two things.
First, he'll order a round of shots during the special, thinking that shots are included. I love watching guys order 10+ Washington Apples or Soco and Limes and then have me drop the total on them.
"That'll be $55" (for, say, 11 shots)
Balla guy. "What, oh fuck, shots aren't on special?"
Me: "No, sir, shots are never on special."
Balla Guy, fumbling through his pockets. "Fuck, ok put it on this."
Normally a $2 tip. Haha, no such a balla now are we?
Or, he'll order the same round he's been ordering at 10:40, say, 7 Grey Goose and Cranberries (and btw, why would you ever waste a quality vodka by mixing it with shitty post-mix cranberry juice. Answer: to look like a balla).
His round that costs $14 just skyrocketed to $49.
Guy: "Oh shit, I'm not paying that."
Me: "Sir, you ordered it, our specials are posted very clearly outside. You need to either pay for these drinks or I can introduce you to two very uniformed police officers."
Guy: "Oh, fuck, ok."
So tonite, I drink to you, Mr. "I want to be a balla but can't really afford it."
I enter a drink contest on monday, so enjoy my newest concoction.
1 Key lime, quartered
4 Large Basil Leaves
2 Teaspoons of White Sugar
Splash of Italian Lemon Soda
Muddle.
1 1/2 Oz Level Vodka.
3/4 oz Sweet and Sour Mix
Shake with Ice
Double strain into a cocktail glass
Add 1/2 oz Italian Lemon Soda.
Enjoy
