I'm sorry but stealing from customers is pretty fuckin sad.
Next time use your own money to feed your meth addiction.
I went to the gogol concert last night. Paid for a drink and got 2 bucks back from a 20.
Thats either the most expensive drink ever or the bartender was being an asshole.
I tried saying something then he immediately said I game him a ten. Fuck off. I got a bank statement that shows I pulled 40 dollars out of the atm that night. Shiesty Motherfucker.
Maybe 930 might have some sense and hire people that are actually honest.
Yeah, right.

Thats either the most expensive drink ever or...
ENTIRELY POSSIBLE.
Idk what you were drinking, but two stolis + tonic are $16. FOR STOLI!!

interesting.
i've been to over 100 shows at the 930 (maybe over 200?), buy drinks almost every time, and not once has a bartender short-changed me. they've been nothing but professional and courteous. *if* your story is indeed true, you should go buy a lottery ticket 'cause you've had an experience that is un-heard of.
i suspect that you'll get little to no sympathy here. folks in this board are generally fans of the club and opinion is pretty unanimous that the 930 has excellent, if not the best, staff.
calling one of them a meth addict and a M-F'er isn't going to get you very far. calling on the club to hire honest bar staph - implication being that they are all currently dishonest - and you're really on your own. oh, and congrats on painting ALL the bar staph (30? 40? more?) based on one experience with one person.
newsflash: some ATMs dispense $10 bills. your bank statement, like your words, mean nothing.
it's your word against his/hers. i'm going to take the word of staph that i respect over that of an internet douchebag.

is $8 for a call drink that crazy? it's probably $6 or $7 for rail vodka, add on a premium for the call and $8 seems like a reasonable price. definitely not the cheapest drink in town (my wallet would be most grateful if drinks were cheaper at the 930!), but considering a cup of yuengling is $7 that seems about right... you do realize that stoli isn't their cheapest vodka, right?

The Columbia Brunswick Bowling Alley was going to charge $9 for a caucasian. Yep, suburbia...
But if you really have an issue, talk to the manager. They count drawers at the end of the night, and can check. No bartender is going to risk their job for $10. I remember working at fast food, and if someone claimed such things, they would do a drawer check, and see what it was. Shit does happen, but like with government assume it is not evil reasons that someone erred.

Just start a tab ;D

My 'favorite' bartender moment at the club was Gov't Mule about 5 years ago. I think the Miller Lights were still $4 back then. My friend gave the bartender a $5 and he put the $1 change into the tip jar before delivering the beer. Sleazy. I guess that's what I get for going to see Gov't Mule.
Like I said before, go to Duffy's for your drinks if you don't want to get ripped off. That's what I do.

Oh and go fuck/kill yourself.

I was with you up until this point. If you want to ask 100 people to vote who's most likely to make a mistake: your average ATM machine or a great bartender, 99 of them will pick the bartender. Because the bartender's a human and the machine is not. Geez.

I agree: you will get no sympathy here.. half these guys spend their lives here on this board blowing sunshine up Seth's ass.. any criticism of the club/930/IMP will be met swiftly...
Also, agree with Driveway: avoid buying drinks at club when possible (obviously if you're an alcoholic you're fucked)...Its a ripoff (the market may bear it but its still gouging).
I ordered seven beers at Gogo; special circumstances: $49 before my fat tip. I do like the bartender who works lefthand bar.. She's been there FOREVER and absolutely knows what she's doing.

I'm guessing there is more to this story than originally posted and this little outburst isn't exactly unexpected.
And while the regulars around here are big supporters of the club, had the original poster taken a less abrasive tone when posting the message, more sympathy would have been shown.

The bartender is a human and so is the customer. I would say the odds of the customer making a mistake (handing over a 10 when he thought it was a 20) vs the bartender are about 60-40.
The ATM has no relevance to this story, since as has been noted, ATMs issue other bills besides 20s.
And for pointlessly ranting on the Internet rather than trying to talk to a manager, the original poster gets this week's Comic Book Guy award!

As a long time drink slinger at 9:30 I'll admit that it's entirely possible that a mistake was made by the bartender, but knowing the difference between a $10 and $20 bill is pretty elementary stuff, I mean we're talking money exchange 101. That being said we do deal with people who try to get over on us on a pretty regular basis and I have experienced the occasional "I gave you a bigger bill" line. There are only a few ways to handle the situation, you either go with your gut and memory and stick with your guns as to what bill you feel confident you were handed, or you take the word of the customer and hand over the difference. Short of stopping everything and counting out the drawer, which takes about 15 minutes, there's not much more you can do.
Now had I been there and you were confident that I had made a mistake, I would have likely offered to buy you a drink or two and call it even. If that wasn't enough I may have suggested you leave your contact information and if at the end of the night my drawer was indeed over the amount you claimed, I would have gladly returned your money.
I wasn't there, so I can't speak for how you or the bartender handled the situation, but I'm certain that had you been insistent and polite, you would have left happy. We assholes can always steal from the next customer to help pay for our meth habit. Cheers.

Where oh where is this apocryphal ATM that dispenses $10 bills? I would be in such better stead with DC cabbies if I didn't tend to have a wallet full of $20s.... I'll bet I have to pay a service charge to use this magical machine. :(
-
Times like these make me happy that I don't drink even though I am an asshole.

Board over, man, board over. It's been fun, kids.

I actually had this same exact thing happen to me at the 930 club a few years back. Bartender said I gave them a $10, but I know for a fact I gave them a $20 (it was the first beer of the night, so I wasn't drunk heh). It sucked, but shit happens....they are human and make mistakes...I was out $10...sucks but not the end of the world
-
Once at the Black Cat I ordered a vodka tonic and it seems I heard wrong the price of the drink, so I gave the bartender a $10 and then moved on...when I came back for another drink, he remembered me and offered a free drink because, he said, I gave him a 'huge tip'...so it was good at the end...
-
I've had this happen to me at many bars, and have done it on a couple of occassions myself during my tending career.
Sometimes the patron is right, sometimes the bartender is right.
It's very rarely intentional (a bartender that does this often will not keep their job), and is usually worked out by the attitude each party displays.
The easiest way to handle it as a patron is to politely ask the bartender to check the till to see if a $20 bill is in the $10 slot. If it is, you'll likely get an apology, your money back and maybe a free drink. If it's not, say "that's cool, I'm not perfect either - have a good one" and walk away. It's $10 and not worth fighting over. As was pointed out earlier, if that was done and the person comes back to me later in the night, then I'd usually give them a free drink or a greatly reduced drink because it tells me that the patron wasn't trying to pull a fast on on me, which happens much more than you think and probably prompted the reaction this guy got.
-
the op used the term "meth addiction" thus accusing a bartender(s) at the club to be meth heads. maybe i am wrong, but didn't somebody else on here a long time ago (who's not on here anymore (that we know)) make the same accusation of bartenders being meth heads?
-
It was cokeheads but yeah.
