‘What actually happens when you bring a pint back.’ A Bartender Showed How She Tricks Customers Into Thinking She’s Replacing the Drinks They Think Are Bad
by Matthew Gilligan
If you’ve ever sent your drink back at a bar and thought you were supplied with a new, fresh one, this video might bum you out a little bit.
The folks behind an English pub in Coventry, England shared a video of how a bartender dealt with a customer who wanted a “bad” drink replaced.
The video went viral in a big way and got people talking on TikTok.
The text overlay in the video reads, “What actually happens when you bring a pint back.”
A customer tells the bartender that the beer tastes funny so the barkeep heads down a flight of stairs to where the kegs are stored at the bar, fiddles with some hoses, and then looks at her phone for a bit.
She then heads back up to the bar, fills a glass, and gives it to the customer.
The moral of the story: bartenders aren’t really changing anything and you’re getting the same beer after you complain.
Doh!
Take a look at the video.
