Mojito's and blended drinks. The people who order these, and the bartenders who hate them. Your thoughts?

as a wise bald little man named Jimmy once once said, "When you wanna take of your skirt and have a real drink let me know"

I'll have a crack in the universe.
No wait, I'll have a grasshopper and a strawberry daiquiri.
Scratch that, how about a sloe comfortable screw up against the wall?
Ooo Oooo what about one of those drinks in a pineapple with an umbrella?

Hey what are you doing? Let go of me! I don't want to go!

Awww man - you didn't have to use my face to open the door.

Many years ago @ an Irish Pub on St. Paddy's Day the following happened. 4 deep at the bar, amateur drinkers and plastic cups. 3 hours of non-stop onslaught of beer and whiskey shots this little blond makes it to the bar and in the midst of taking 8 drink orders yells out.... A Pina Colada Please! The blender's plug stopped the blender from hitting her....

no indoor bar should ever have a blender.

hey, I say let them drink what they want to drink, guys. I have been in this biz for 16 years working primarily at high end or "cocktail" places, and HATE this new "mixologist", "bar czar", "drink master" bullshit. In my opinion, We all are, or at least should be (within reason, of course) concerned with hospitality. Despite any write-ups, kudos, etc. I have or had or will have, I am a BARTENDER- tending to needs of those people who are sitting at my bar. Of COURSE, I would love to have a variety of buttons attached to each seat (i.e. mute, eject), but ultimately. I have chosen this profession and a thick as hell skin along the way for the crazies. That said, I am a beer, wine, or straight whisky(ey) girl myself, and prefer (!) those who also are. I'm just sayin.... If someone wants me to make them a mojo, I am happy to do it. Snap! ;) and ;(
