You have got to be kidding me.

I bartended last night (and the night before. $460 in two days? yes please!!) and all of our regulars came out. It was nice, most of them are lovely! However, one particular regular is kind of known for being creepy, but I've never seen him get unruly.

• Once upon a time, he dated a friend of mine. She cites him as the, "worst, lowest, most shameful phase of [her] life." and that is including a serious drug addiction.
• Another friend of mine was barbacking one night and Creepshow tried to give her $5. She explained that she was a barback and they don't get tipped. He told her it was, "for the view." You see, a few minutes earlier she had bent over at the other end of the bar, unaware that he was staring intently all along.
• HE JUST LOOKS SLIMY AS FUCK.

So last night he came in and I tried to be polite. During his first beer, I had to stand at a beer tap near him and try to put a tube over it. The tube wasn't fitting well so I was fidgeting with it, when suddenly Creepshow leaned around the tap tower and quietly said, "You might want to rub it and spit on it."

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

I'm no prude and I'm not easily shaken, but I could have thrown up. I went to my manager to tell her what he had said and I told her I wasn't dealing with him anymore. Luckily, I was bar tending with a guy so I told him the same and he offered to deal with him.  I have no idea how I will handle Creepshow next week.

Ten cents doesn't matter.

We have a number of regulars. A few are amazing and honestly, I get excited when they come in. The rest... not so exciting.

Today one of 'the rest' came in with a friend for lunch. I try to be polite to her but she is just generally unpleasant. I also know that she never tips well, which doesn't help how I feel when I deal with her. They were closing out their tab and while I was literally standing a foot away, they had this conversation:

Friend: I'll get this.
Regular: Okay, what is the tip?
(I tried not to listen because I knew this would all be awkward anyway)
Regular (as she counts out a couple of dollars in change): And if I pick up that dime off the ground, we're all set!

AND SHE WAS SERIOUS.
