While wrapping up a great couple of days this past weekend in Baltimore I was getting ready to go back up to the county on Saturday night when I realized, 5 minutes after departing Looney's, that I had forgotten to close out my tab. I went back to find a locked door, watching the bartenders clean up the bar just after having closed.
I knocked on the door and told the female bartender from whom I was ordering all night, "I forgot to close my tab"
to which she replied, "sorry, come back tomorrow"
"I have a flight in the morning"
and the tourette-ick woman repeated, louder, without looking up "COME BACK TOMORROW!"
"C'mon!"
"Manana!" ahhh, she's bi-lingual
I looked for help from a bouncer who came to the front to see what was going on and yelled through the glass that I had a flight and that she refused to give me my credit card. The bouncer, surprisingly, talked some sense into the (insert whatever you would have called her here) .
So, after facing defeat, she came out to hand me my card, adding the obligatory 20% tip to unclosed tabs and I was on my way......
Just another bartender that proved my point.
