I am sorry you had a bad experience but... I have worked in the bar business for 10 years and cherries and those that tie them with their tongues are a pain in the ass. We just love it when people ask for a lot of cherries in their drink, only to come back to the table and find not eaten cherries on the table, floor and chairs and spit soaked, chewed up, stems littering the table. Then there's that GIANT cherry jar that gets everything within 5 feet sticky and red.

Instead you could have asked for a cherry garnish, not told him to fish around for long stems. What's the challenge in that anyway? See if she can tie any length of stem you get. It may not sound like a big deal but multiply a few by ALL those people who think they are so special and talented, and enough already. Then there's those who rip off their beer labels and stick them everywhere while ripping the napkins and coasters to bits, not to mention pukers, tobacco spiters, sleepers, fighters, and others who can't hold their liqueur. Enough of this can make you pretty salty.

Sorry, I too had to vent as I just got off work in a very crowded club. Ahhhhh
