The @ASHES is dead! Long live the @ASHES!

As in Phoenix?

What tab?

@ASHES has decided to step down as a DM and step up as a Bartender.

Thank you for your contributions as a DM and I'm sure @NewfieMom welcomes your assistance with bartender duties. As the new guy (again), you are responsible for taking out the trash, washing all the glasses at the end of the night and cleaning the toilets (and not in that order).

Please welcome our newest Bartender!

Thank you very much for your service as a DM, @ASHES, and congratulations on your new title!

What tab?

Gen Z infuriates bartenders with this bizarre behavior: ‘Someone has to bully these people’

“These kids never learned the proper way to be a barfly,” one manager moaned.

nypost.com

Zoomers are purportedly averse to opening up bar tabs, preferring to close out and swipe their cards after every drink — no matter how many they end up having.

According to The New York Times, there are a few reasons why this could be the case.
Gen Z’s have also become used to one-and-done transactions, mainly using Apple Pay and simply tapping their phones for a purchase rather than using a physical card.

Therefore, they feel as though buying a drink at the bar is similar to buying a coffee at a café.

And with growing fears of economic uncertainty, Zoomers appear to worry that they’ll lose track of their spending if they leave their card with a bartender.

Thank you. I had the best time as DM. But now I am on this side of the bar passing tales of woe and wonder.

In that order, no doubt!

 

[ASHES]

In that order, no doubt!

The night has already been filled with both and too much whiskey neat.

I suggest you move to rocks, the dilutions can add so much to the flavor notes.

 

[NewfieMom]

See if you can “lose” my outstanding bar tab, will ya?

No way. Your bar tab has reached legendary proportions! Reporters have been asking to come in under the Freedom of Information Act to make copies of it. I had to ask @Schweddy if we needed an attorney to protect the privacy of the Tavern accounts. (A couple of DP members who are lawyers were in the bar when the reporters came in and they volunteered to help, but then I couldn't wake them up or lift their heads off the bar, so I had to call Schweddy.)

 

[NewfieMom]

Don't order the potato salad

The Tavern has never served @Bum's potato salad. I believe that is served in the staff lounge. At least that's where I first encountered it.

That's best where it stays too. As a warning.

You and @ASHES are going to make a great team.

Always a freebie.

I'll order a Shirley Temple next time to not look like a cheapskate.

Goodbye and congrats, @ASHES!

I enjoyed you as a part of the DM team & wish you well in your Tavern position!

Thank you too. You're the one left with the thankless job and the scallywags.

I got @Bum for a wingman, so i'm good.

Yes, @Bum can be intimidating. I always feel protected when he's around. (Not that you need protection, but I am sure it is nice to have a competent comrade-in-arms.)

Here you go. It's on the house in honor of ASHES' new job.
