Actually Tom mine would be a "Martini" or a "Mai Tai"! :drink: I agree with you on the customer service end of things. You are correct. I would not be very happy with some one who throws together my drink, slams it down on the bar and growls, "That's ten bucks!". But maybe you've walked into the wrong forum? Call me "small minded" but I find "flair" in bartending to be the equivalent of people putting 12,000 Watt Stereos with 6 - 20" Sub-woofers, all the wiring exposed with glowing neon wraps, chromed amps and 4 TV Monitors and a Play Station into a Honda Civic compared to a High Quality DVD Audio Surround Sound System with speakers at key points and heights for the greatest High Fidelity Sound possible! While not entirely meaning to be condescending I use this reference since it would be my guess that most "flair" bartenders are in their twenties and attract a crowd who drive those beat box cars! :wink: Besides, it is a fantastic comparison! FLASH vs QUALITY Finally I'll let my good friends Merriam & Webster draw the line: Main Entry: bar·tend·er Main Entry: mix·ol·o·gy
Main Entry: flair Main Entry: jug·gler |
