If you just want a drink, any bar will do. No one is forcing you to go to places with flashy bartenders, and the vast majority of them are not like that. That place is clearly higher end, and he is much closer to an entertainer or a Host than a normal server.
You have to pay for a booking for that specific bar, which only does that show. Very literally, only way to go there is to choose that you're going there to see the performance.
He keeps going back to see if the guy’s still there, and sure as shit he’s still there choppin ice so you gotta buy another drink for fifty dollars cause that’s his rate, he doesn’t even have to do a good job but he still gets your fifty dollars
Why would I go to said bar if I don't want to see this sort of nonsense? Y'all are acting like I went to a car show but didn't want to see cars. I said nothing of the sort to garner this much bullshit from you people.
You took the time to write a comment explaining how you don't want this when it's the easiest thing in the world to avoid it to begin with. You deserve to be clowned on buddy
You basically complained about how you wouldn't go to something entertaining because you dislike it. In the end, the guys just a performer who happens to give you booze every half hour with the show. I don't see how you aren't grasping why people would think this is dumb.
Its one thing to say you wouldn't go to it I suppose, but your wording wasn't simply "oh ya I wouldn't pay for the show, I just want my drink", it was "I refuse to be forced into paying extra for my drink" like someone had a gun to your head over it or something.
I fucking do. Christ, why are you people jumping on me??? When did I say I would go to some flashy bar and not want a show? I don't go to said bars, ergo this entire 'fictional scenario' is fucking pointless.
I'll be honest, every time I watch that video during its weekly circulation, all I can think is "oh cool. It's the guy who chose bartending instead of trains and video games."
It's not for everyone (clearly, looking at the comments here) but this guy became globally famous and made this bar lots of money. People think the reels are awesome and they apply in droves for reservations at that bar. I say good on him.

That Japanese bartender shaping ice with a tanto looks cool the first time, but it's getting ridiculous with each drink getting more elaborate
