Bars make a KILLING on drinks, why bother scamming? 20 Euro`s for a few shots, come on. How much of an asshole do you have to be to do that shit?

It depends... Because this is assuming the bartender gets in a stake in the bars profits (which is almost never the case, unless he happens to own the bar) Therefore, it gives them no incentive to really scam someone out of a certain amount. (Plus the weaker the drink, the weaker the tip typically) Now, bartenders will often charge you for drinks and not ring them up, charge you for more expensive liquor without knowing, and will often intentionally give back the wrong change. However, things like this aren`t really typical unless the owner pays them to do so.

I have to agree with SacKings. Bartenders can be scammers because look at their job, they serve ALCOHOL! so if you get into a dispute over a tab after a long night of drinking and the police have to be involved, guess who is going to get fucked?

heh, i used to bartend and i never scammed anybody (except my own bar owners). These arent even the most common scams. The most common scam is just deliberately adding water to the bottles of liquor. The only time I ever did any kind of "scam" was if a person ever sent a drink back saying it wasn`t strong enough. All i did was pour a bit of the liqour down the straw so there first taste would taste really strong. Worked every time. Oh and this was at a restraunt/bar. I would never do that in front of actual bar guests.

The first 2 scams on this video are not very practical. number 3 is.

scam 1 - bartenders never pour drinks with their back turned to the buyer. If that happened to me I wouldnt take the drink or i wouldnt tip the bartender.

scam 2 - most bars use hourglass shapped jigs to. I`ve never seen a jigg like jess used. weird.

scam 3 - very possible and probably very common. Easy to do in weird shaped glass.

If this bar really was trying to be smart about how to get more money out of their guests then they wouldnt use cubed shaped ice. When ice is a true cube, you cant fit many of them in the glass as you can well in scam 3. That means you have to pour more liquor into the glass to make it taste right thus costing the bar more money. Most bars use ice chips which resemble a capital `D` in shape. Ice chips are used because you can fit lots of them into a glass taking up lots of space. This means less liquor has to be used to fill the glass and make the drink taste strong.

This is why you take acid instead of blowing your cash on drinks.

first off, if you going to buy some faggy drink learn how to make them and have a few at home so you know the bite and use a few differnt brands so you get a good taste for the different shelfs, getting a 4th shelf shot for the price of a 1st shelf is the biggest scam i know of and the if the bartender knows his math and has about 20-30min of undisturbed time befor work they can clear 200-300+ on a good night raking the till cause they pour the good shit in a jug and hide it, then at the end of the night they replace the good shit, its very simple if you are trusted well at a bar or have a partner. The main trick is to look as busy as possible, so when people pay for there drinks you put the money in your apprin (works better if you have a partner cause they can hog the register when they know you messing with someones drink. But if you know what your drinking then you can catch this, so what happens if you get caught doing this.... simple, if they complain tell them you would like to sip there drink, take a sip tell them there is somthing wrong and redo it, this time have a bottle of what they really want on hand for the next drink. You cant win them all, but with luck and a little practice you can make bank.
