I'm getting even less tolerant. Last night I had a gin and tonic that was A) not filled to the top B) had no lime and C) was not set in front of me on a napkin. Is that too much to ask? And then, A) the waitress set it in front of me and dashed off so fast I could not even tell her, so I went to the bar myself where, B) there was no one for about 5 minutes and then he shows up and I ask for a lime and C) he puts an 1/8 of an inch sliver of lime on the rim. I politely asked for more.

How do people operate this way? I know I was at a college area restaurant, but, c'mon!

Pappy, your class sounds a lot like my driving school class. You have to pay for it and attend to get some beaurocratic piece of paper at the end and line someone's pockets, but the class is no more than a chance for some schloob to prattle on. If this was required to be a bartender, I would hope they covered a lot of things like "never use a glass in the ice bin" and other health and safety issues, on top of legalities like determining when to cut someone off, as well as basic drink making...

If it was a bartending class for fun, I just have no clue what's going on.
