Well, I don't have issues w/him but a customer does. I really can't think of any reason why the customer would have an issue w/the bartender other than him being black.
The guy is actually a bodybuilder. Has competed many times. He told me his name but since I don't really follow pro bb so I didn't recognize him or anything. He's a real nice guy too.
Anyway, one of our most popular specials is the greyhound w/fresh squeezed grapefruit. A customer at a table ordered it from the server but the minute he looked over at the bar and saw the bartender and saw that he was black, he said "No way, I don't want him making my drink." The customer also looked like he lifted which is strange. I would think respect for your fellow brother in iron would supersede any kind of racism one might have.
I immediately walked over and said, "You're not welcome here. You have 5 seconds to leave and that 5 seconds doesn't start at the end of my sentence, it started at the beginning of my sentence which means you're only down to 2 seconds so you better hurry up."
"What? Why?"
"Because you're racial intolerance against one of our staff members won't be tolerated. Your time is up and you're still here."
"Dude, I'm not racist at all. That's not why I don't want him to make my drink. You guys should really keep an eye on him, especially w/the fruit."
"Ok, now you're at negative 2 seconds. That means you now owe ME 2 seconds. if you're insinuating that he's going to steal garnishes and whatnot from the bar because he's black then you're not just racist, you're stupid. Now leave before your time debt gets worse and I have to collect."
He finally got up and out the door... not w/o mumbling about how he wasn't a racist and that I should at least give him a chance to explain... blah blah blah.. I've heard it all before.
I chuckled about it w/the bartender after closing. I asked what name he competed under and he said Kai Green. Im sure some of you have heard of him. He seemed like a really cool guy. He invited me to his apartment after closing to make some more greyhounds and maybe watch a movie on Netflix. I suggested Pumping Iron but he said he'd rather watch some movie called Ghost w/Patrick Swayze. Ive never seen it before but I love supernatural horror movies.
I declined unfortunately because I was tired but I definitely took a rain check. How cool would it be to knock back some drinks w/a pro bber after every shift?! He said something about us not needing strainers to make the grapefruit juice but I dont know what he was talking about. I guess it's some bartender joke.. IDK..

Kel, you are trying too hard. Trolling should come easily and naturally.
