And then you have customers who just don't know what to order. But they know they're safe with Jack & Coke, Rum & Coke, (whatever) & Coke. Happens at bars all the time. It's not necessarily wrong, but it underscores your suggestion that service is paramount - it's great fun when bartenders can help educate their customers while providing speedy and competent service.
And I observe that's happening to a much greater extent now than in the 70's and 80's. Good points, and good discussion. Time to go make that Harvey Wallbanger I've been dreaming of all day, ha...

I don't think I've ever had a Harvey Wallbanger, but I looked it up, basically vodka and orange juice with a float of Galliano. Basically a citrusy and aromatic drink. It was very popular in the early 70's, when drinks were given some very funny and innuendo-laden names. Haven't heard it mentioned in a long time.
