Yesterday after work, I hopped onto the 4-oh-1 and headed south towards London town to meet up with NumberNine and TrevOR. TrevOR and his GF are briefly back in town before leaving today for the NWT. I also needed to hear TrevOR's stories of Vegas adventures and Grand Canyon mischief. I also had to return NumberNine's "The Heathen's Guide to World Relgions", however I once again forgot it. WOOPS.
Anyways, we went to "The Mongolian Grill", because apparently it has a cheap martini night.
Long story short:
The place is -very- busy, and there is essentially one bar. That one bar is staffed by two bartenders. The one bartender would -only- serve females, and quite obviously only served the hot ones. This is easy to do in London. The guys stand like manekins as they get passed over for service. Stupid western idiots. Are they too spineless to say 'Hey!' Well I wasn't. Eventually I said, "Excuse me, I've been waiting here fifteen minutes". Bartender looks directly at me, then moves to the far end of the line and continues serving girls. After serving about four girls, all of whom clearly came after me, he then served me.
I asked for Blue, he gave me a blue light, opened it, and said "We're outta blue". He seemed upset when I made a different request.
Later in the night, he pulled up a white wash bucket, turned it over, and SAT on it while there were clearly ~20 people waiting to be served. There he sat. Like a dumb ass idiot.
I thought it was bad in Waterloo, but it is WAY worse in LundIN, where the pretty boys are too pretty to open their waxed lips.
This bartender was WORSE than that idiot bartender in Ottawa at that bar "Icon" who couldn't make anything except a screwdrivers. Also this bartender was WAAAY worse than that asshole at Fed Hall at whom I had to throw my change.
As an anecdote, I met up with my friend Randy, who just got out of jail the night before. Why was he there? Hehe. Apparently he was at a bar in woodstock last week, where the bartenders gave them crappy service. They complained, and the bartender had them kicked out. As the bouncers were throwing him out, he said, "If it weren't for all these bouncers here I'd drop your ass" to which the bartender appended snide comments. So the next day, Randy returned to the bar, found the bartender, and dropped his ass. Dropped it good. It landed him in jail for a night, but hey... that's some serious dedication to good barservice.
That is all for now.
The moral of the story is, do NOT go drinking at Mongolian Grill. Their martinis suck anyways. 1oz? That's not a martini.
