I went to a bar off Hollywood strip and it was a madhouse. So i stuck my bankroll (100 on the outside) to my forehead. The male bartender started cracking up and served me in 30 seconds.
Get that credit card suckers!!!!
I'm torn on the credit card at the bar thing. I do it because its convenient and seems to be the norm these day. It's a pimp move to say "Yeah open a tab please". But then again women pull the same credit card tab move. So I'm torn. Showing you have credit is comparable to flashing a bankroll I guess. I'm old school so like the feeling of having cash.
Paying with cash when you're out drinking or fucking around actually solves a lot of problems:
1. You don't have to worry about leaving a card behind or losing it if you drink too much. When this happens it's a nightmare.
2. A lot of bartenders will fuck up and overcharge your card or double charge it and you have to call the bank and tell them.
3. If a card gets run several times in one night the bank may think it's fraud and turn the card off on you. If you're hopping to different venues this definitely becomes an issue.
4. The staff actually sees you tipping in cash as you go and they tend to appreciate that more than when they just get a bunch of receipts at the end of the night.
I never pay with cards when I go out drinking anymore.
Furthermore, how about this:
Situation #1
You are in a packed bar; bartenders are overwhelmed.
You got a fly girl good to go.
But...your card is with the bartender. There is no way to get her attention.
Drunk guys are hitting are now hitting on your girl, spooling up the vibe. Her friends come...and spool thing up more.
You can't seem do get the bartenders attention because you and every other dork in the bar paid with a card...
You are losing the girl...
Situation #2
You are in a packed bar; bartenders are overwhelmed.
You got a fly girl good to go.
You split because you paid CASH.
You Swoop.
I like quick get-aways.
