When it was brought to my attention that you were dissatisfied with the quality of your drink, I entered the main bar and listened to your every word. As you may recall, I placed a straw in your drink (and without drinking directly from the glass) took a sample of your beverage. My immediate reaction felt like a ‘punch in the face.’ Your drink did, in fact, contain alcohol (and a mighty helping, as I recall). Now might be a good time to mention that you and your friends were drinking, and my staff and I were not. As I reacted naturally to taking a sip of your drink, one of your friends said: “Oh, come on.” I could tell that he had imbibed enough for the evening, but that you were just a bit over the top. At this point you and your friends were denied service. You and the entire group waited around (after being told that you were all cut off) and then argued with the bar staff over having to pay for the drinks that all of you consumed. Finally, after the doorman was sent in to mediate, everyone paid their portion of the tab and stormed out to the parking lot (neglecting to leave a tip). While a tip is not mandatory in the States, it is a well-known fact that people in the service industry typically receive less-than minimum wage and that they rely on tips not only to cover their day-to-day living expenses, but to counteract the pittance that they do receive. You-yourself are *darned by your own words, “[B]ad tippers beware!]” In fact, you are *darned by your own words twice! Repeatedly calling your bartender a *jerk [and several other expletives during your stay at Grevey’s (will likely not gain you favor in any other places you wish to patronize)].

Dear cajunqueen,
On the night of your visit to Grevey’s in Falls Church (with your group of friends) you will likely not remember that you were carded at the door. The person who carded you was not a manager. He was, and is, the doorman. As you and your friends grew increasingly intoxicated, you failed to notice that our shots are measured, and consistent. After you repeatedly complained about the size of our pours, you were informed of the above-mentioned quality controls. You see, in other bars, bartenders will pour heavier shots to their friends and weaker shots to the service bar area in order to win the favor of their guests and short the guests in the dining areas. This, they feel, will help them to receive larger tips from their patrons. The problem is, what they (the bartenders at the other establishments you patronize) are doing, is stealing from the house in order to make their pockets fatter.
