Pro Tip: Play a Steppenwolf song as your first pick and just mosey on outta there. But you probably get more of an adreanaline rush by picking a Brittany song first and just bailing. So well done sir.
You're wrong about the 15 minute curd. No one lets curds sit that long. Gets down to the last one and you automatically throw out the "anyone want the last one?"
Agreed. Like, I'll wait a couple minutes, but if it's sittin', don't want it to get cold. That good ol' squeaky mouthfeel only lasts a few minutes, then it becomes almost grating. Gots to have it while it's still a little above room temp.
@@micahphilsonThen why order curds? I've always got at least s few pounds of various cheese in the fridge at home. Even most gas stations here in Wisconsin carry sausage and cheese from local meat markets and dairies. If I want plain cheese, I'll just stay home, or grab some on the way home. Our local dairy has fresh curds twice a week. Battered or breaded and deep fried curds is basically fair food, which is why it's in bars in the most alcoholic states in the country.
Good to know about that dice rule. I mean, I'm almost 49 and have never been part of the bar life, so it seems highly unlikely that I'll start now, but still. Good to know. :p
I drive by my local dive bar every day at around midnight after work on my way home and will play a song on the box just to bug the bartenders. Can't Hardly Stand It by Charlie Feathers usually does the job, or maybe Surfin' Bird. I mean, I love those songs but they hate them lol.
My wife & I made friends with a bartender in St Pete Beach while in vacation. After I found out she hates the song Stacey’s mom i vowed to play it every Friday for her. That was July 2021 & I haven’t missed a Friday yet.
As someone that isn't from the coast or the Midwest (kentucky) and am a full grown adult...... I've never heard of a pull tab until now, I've been all across the country by driving and just never encountered this.
The second one always makes me uncomfortable. I never wave money, but sometimes they're just that busy and you can't get their attention. I always feel terrible, apologize, realize I'm wasting their time apologizing, order, and tip *heavily* as any good apologetic midwesterner is to do. They really do be doing God's work.
Addendum to rule #4: cheese curds are a single bite food, especially if they are there for the table. Don't double dip the ranch cup if you only nibbled off half a curd Addendum to rule #5: pull tabs. Don't sit on winners. If you pull a 100 or 200 dollar winner, you go straight to the window after your stack is done. Don't let the rest of the bar play with false hope.
Amen too #5. You're an arse if you sit on winners regardless, but MN dealers are also allowed to NOT redeem them if it's over a certain amount of time (especially if it looks like you're intentionally holding them, harassing other customers, etc). I deal tabs as a second job, thankfully most people are cool about it.
The jukebox rule is golden , play classic bar songs that everyone knows or adheres to the older crowds . The last thing you wanna do is start playing the latest rap/hip hop hit and have everyone give you that disappointed look and have zero chances of anyone buying you a drink lol
In Cheyenne Wells, Colorado, I walked into a bar playing typical modern bro country, which eventually morphed into early 80s gangster rap (?!). By the end of the night I was dropping bars with the tenders. They stopped caring I was from Denver, but I didn't dare touch the jukebox.
This is correct. I go when the old timers are at the bar it’s quiet. I’ll play traffic, little feat, maybe some Willie Nelson. Played live Santana at Woodstock once and this old hippy froze when he heard the first notes the bartender thought he was having a stroke and I was like nah he’s just time traveling.
Ice cold beer doesn`t always come to those who wait. There were nights out when I was younger when I waiting at least half a hour with no acknowledgement that i was there from the bar tender.
I enjoy playing the weird songs and edm songs on the jukebox. If i have to hear some garbage country song you get to listen to one trick pony by deadmau5
Another pull tab curtesy- if you have a winner, pull the damn tabs off the ticket before giving it to the barkeep so they can stack them or bag them neatly. Same rule as lotto tickets. Scratch the barcode for the cashier if you’re not self scanning. Don’t be a dick.
If you wanna sound like youre from the midwest without just saying staple phrases, eliminate half the consonants in everything you say. "What do you mean" becomes "whadyamean". "There you go" becomes "Theyago". "Ahyasur" was a great example.
Rule 6. If you play video slots dont walk away like a poor sport when you have less than 40 cents left. Play it out so others know you’re done and dont leave an empty bottle or watered down have finished mixer on the machine. Give them the indication it’s now their turn to donate their paycheck to the tavern league. And don’t cash out under $20 or some odd random amount. Even it up. Nice increments of 20. Thinknof it as a bank withdrawal. Nobody withdraws $18.63 or $113.00.
@@MST3Killa Let’s be honest, if this really bothered you guys so much, you would’ve stopped watching this channel a while ago since they still have a deal with AB
I love to pull up to small town bars, load up touch tunes on my phone, play some 2 Live Crew, and drive away. It works best during the day when the crowd is a bunch of old guys slowly wasting away.
Your rules are literal garbage! Ive seen rules #1 and #2 broken sooooo many times, especially Wisconsin people, #3, #4, and #5 it's a free for all. I'm having the last curd, I'm not listening to the same dumb song over and over again. Plus if the regulars piss you off, You have to play annoying songs to teach them a lesson.
