Waiting around for *a* beer gets so old nowadays that I'm pretty close to just being that asshole who walks up to the bar himself to order one.
Problem with the service now at Washington (don't know other places) is you go to a table they ignore you for at least 10-15 minutes then if you go up to the bar they get super butthurt. It's a lose-lose.
I'm past th point of caring about that.
If a table orders a few beers, coffee, tea, whatever, server should just go pour those right away.
This dumb fuck system of having a single dedicated bartender taking a queue of drink orders is fucking stupid, created by fucking idiot managers.
