Kicked Out!!

As the song I’ve got a feeling echoed through the car, everyone with me decided that “tonight’s gonna be a good night!” The final destination was The Walrus Saloon on the Pear Street Mall. This is a bar frequented by my group every week. The Walrus has one long bar and two side bars, pool tables, shuffle board, and a juke box. There is a dance floor-ish type area. For the truly toasted sorority girls there is the slightly elevated “stage” area.

From the second we got in line outside the bar something was wrong. A friend of mine was declined entry because the bouncer thought his New York driver’s license was a fake…. The guy was 23! He left with half of the group and headed to the Downer. As the rest of the group went into the Walrus, we abandoned our coats by the bouncer who told us that it was fine. Three of us girls went over to the bar to order a drink. The crowd put up a shoving match to decide who would order first. Once my girls and I made it to the front, we waited on the guy bartender, who I refer to now as Jack Off, to take our order. As he passed us over the first time we figured we didn’t make it to the front in time and we would just have to wait. The second time he passed us up we were frustrated but whatever. Twenty sober minutes later and three times of passing up our order brought out the worst in us. I yelled our order over the random girl standing next to us, who got there long after we did. Jack told me we had to wait our turn! What kind of nerve did this jerk have? I reminded him that he passed us up three times and we had been there for twenty minutes. He responded by telling me “Boo hoo I’ve been here for five hours.” My patience was gone! I shot back by saying that he’s getting paid to be there and he should just take our order already. Clearly that was a bad idea. Jack Off decided to tell me that I was drunk and I was going to get kicked out.

I spent twenty sober minutes at the bar for what, to get kicked out by a bartender on a power trip? No. In true rock star status the bouncer asked me what happened. As I explained the situation he got me a drink himself and told me that everyone hates Jack Off the bartender.

The Walrus Saloon is a bar to pass on until Jack Off is gone!
