Tale from a bartender

Customer (C)

C: "I want a Titos martini, with no vermouth or olive juice with a twist of lemon"

Me: Of course!

(Friends that means im pouring a shot of titos into some ice shake, strain into a martini glass)

Not more than a minute later

C: "this is the smallest martini I've ever seen in my life!"

Me((thinking to myself))( how do I explain you literally just asked for a chilled shot in a 'fancy' glass)

Me: "Yes mam theres no vermouth or olive juice, thats why the glass isn't full, I could make this a double if you'd like!"

(This would make the glass more full in account of the other missing ingredients for a martini)

C: I don't want more alcohol! I want the drink to look the way it should!

.........

Me: Yes mam!

I take her martini glass back over to my well.

I pour the original drink into my Shaker. I literally fill the Shaker to the top with ice. I shake the bejesus out of this shot. (Martini?)

After shaking (and straining) the glass looks full. Friends this is a titos water at this point. Even after straining into a martini glass.

She was so happy she ordered a second one.

C also asked if it was at all possible to get a shrimp Alfredo, but instead of shrimp, could she possibly do chicken instead.

"So you want a chicken alfredo?"

Yeah I can do that easily (literally the next item on the menu under shrimp Alfredo)

I love bartending

To be fair c was actually very nice and sweet to me, just kinda dumb.
