Today, I was working behind the bar at a club. After serving drinks to a guy, he asked me if I could carry them outside to the two girls waiting for him. I scowled at him and told him I wasn't a waitress. That's when I realised he had one arm. FML

I understand your frustration, but there really was no need to scowl and snap at him. People deserve some courtesy.

I feel obligated to click YDI just because you replied so rudely. I completely understand where you're coming from when asked to help carry his drinks, but there's no need to snap at the poor guy.

Could have just said "I'm sorry, but I can't leave the bar area until my shift is over."

I agree with what you're saying but in your picture, you have two arms. Can you explain please?

Personally, as a bartender myself, I always offer to help carry the drinks if the customer needs. It's called customer service.

its callwd leaving a queue of angry customers at the bar while yoy swan off to get brownie points. you are there to serve behind the bar the same as i am there to man reception. neither of us can go gallavanting off without good reason or the job you are supposed to be doing suffers.

Every place/bar is different. The one I work has a good size bar then table and chairs in a room that I have to myself. I'm allowed to leave the bar area and have to many times as I'm my own busser, food runner, waitress, bar back along with being the bartender. I don't consider that going off and galavanting around... Offering to carry the drinks if it looks like they need help is secondary to how slammed I am, as well, too.

Maybe it's an older picture. Or maybe it's just not any of your damn business.

FYL. Your job doesn't magically change because someone is disfigured. He should have asked a waiter or waitress to, you know, wait on their table.

I'm a cashier so I'm used to customer service and its my experience that people with handicaps get more offended if you offered to help then treat them like a normal person who can overcome their disabilities. If the man asked politely for assistance, sure I suppose that's a different story, but you also shouldn't let your pity rule you. Be helpful be nice be respectful but don't act out of pity it's offensive and degrading. Besides it sounds like the man did not ask in a very polite way, probably, as I have experienced, acted demanding and assumptuous. used to having people cater to his every whim because his disability. And while sad and unfortunate I've seen the worst characters out of these kind of people who think they are owed something from everyone because life is unfair.

But he has one arm. It wasn't like he asked her for a pity BJ and to move in to her home. He asked for some help, likely so he could impress the ladies without looking like an invalid.

Why is everyone voting YDI? She didn't see that he only had one arm !

Because there was no need for her to scowl and snap at him when he asked a simple question.
