Don't piss off your waitstaff. He didn't tip the bartender, and that helped lead to arrest
He stiffed the bartender, and that made him memorable. The memorable jackass that is.
A Key West bartender who on New Year’s Day saw images of the men who had vandalized the Florida city’s landmark recognized one of them: It was the bar patron who had stiffed him the night before.
Cameron Briody’s recall of the face and his bar’s receipts helped police identify the two men suspected of defacing the famous “Southernmost Point” buoy landmark.
If he had even given a sad tip, he would have been just another customer in a sea of faces. But that is not how idiots think.
Scanning the news the morning after his busy New Year’s Eve shift at Irish Kevin’s Bar, Briody realized he had seen one of the men the night before. The patron stuck in his mind because he had ordered three rounds of drinks and didn’t tip for any of them.
Not only did he not tip, but he didn't pay cash, because that is such a 20th Century concept.
There is more. How the two idiots were "rejected" by the women they tried to hit on, and the reward that the bartender received.
As for the 2 miscreants, they are facing felony criminal mischief, as the repairs to marker cost $5000.
The moral of the story: Don't be an asshole.
Dad taught me proper bar educate. Always pick the spot with the prettiest waitress and tip at least twice the cost of the drink on the first round. Ask to start a tab on the second round and you will be well taken care of the rest of the evening.
