So I got to Pint Nite last night and saw John D sitting at the bar.\u00a0 So I figured I’d sit at the bar with John D and start a tab there.\u00a0 But before I made it to the bar I was intercepted by the waitress who calls me her “BFF.”\u00a0 “WHAT DO YOU WANT,” she said.\u00a0 “GIVE ME YOUR UFO CARD.\u00a0 I’M GOING TO PICK OUT THE 3 BEERS YOU’RE DRINKING FOR YOUR PLATE TONIGHT.”\u00a0 So I gave her my card and she walked to the computer (I checked out her ass as she walked over), and she came back with receipts for Black Velvet, Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat, and Rogue Nut Brown Nectar which she said were 3 of her favorite beers.\u00a0 I refused Sunset Wheat, as that sometimes shows up on Fire Sale and I want to save it for then.\u00a0 So she went back to the computer (I checked out her ass again)\u00a0and came back with a receipt for Hummingbird Water, which is one of the most girly beers there, but hey it has to be knocked off the list sometime.\u00a0 So for the beer report we have<\/p>\n
Previous total:\u00a0 $342.50<\/p>\n
Beers 64, 65, and 66 (but 61, 62 and 63 according to the Saucer):
\nHummingbird Water $2.50
\nBlack Velvet $2.50
\nRogue Nut Brown Nectar $2.50
\nTip:\u00a0 $1 x 3 beers = $3.00
\nTotal:\u00a0 $10.50<\/p>\n
Grand total:\u00a0 $353.00<\/p>\n
Those were not the only<\/em> 3 beers I had, though.\u00a0 I managed to follow up my plate beers with 9 Dos Equis Lagers, for a total of 12 pints, and I could’ve easily broken my record of 14 if not for this stupid “job” thing I’m expected\u00a0to go to on Tuesday mornings.\u00a0 My BFF continued to be her sweet self throughout the course of the evening, making comments like, “SO THE WAITRESS YOU ASKED TO WORK YOUR PLATE PARTY GOT PROMOTED TO BARTENDER.\u00a0 WHO’S GOING TO BE YOUR WAITRESS NOW.”\u00a0 Actually, she was in an unusually good mood last night.\u00a0 She only flipped me off once and punched me once in the entire time I was there.\u00a0 Someone bought one of my beers (thanks), so I had to pay for 11.\u00a0 My BFF got mad at me for only tipping $11.\u00a0 “YOU’RE NOT TIPPING FOR THE BEER THAT WAS BOUGHT FOR YOU?\u00a0 COME ON.\u00a0 CHANGE THAT 1 TO A 2 ON YOUR DEBIT CARD RECEIPT.\u00a0 DO IT.”<\/p>\n Y’know who I should fix her up with?\u00a0 Nappy haired, extremely loud and aggressive “CAN I AKS YOU A QUESTION.\u00a0 U GOT 50 CENT” bum who works the streets Downtown.\u00a0 Know the one I’m talking about?\u00a0 He makes a beeline up to you and gets right<\/em> in your face to panhandle you.\u00a0 They would be perfect for each other; they have the exact same personality.\u00a0 I should set them up on a blind date.\u00a0 If he’s not in jail right now.<\/p>\n Now we transition from the “crap no one cares about” section of the post to the “useful information” section of the post.\u00a0 I’m not quite done with the Saucer though.\u00a0 Beginning next week, the Pint Nite price increases to $2.75.\u00a0 In usual Saucer fashion, they announced the increase as “beginning March 1” even though March 1 is a Saturday and therefore not a Pint Nite.<\/p>\n Calhoun’s Sports Bar & Grill on G.E.
