Whether you're a serial bar-hopper or a regular at your corner watering hole, you've probably established some sort of repartee with the bartenders. Maybe your interactions are fleeting and functional. Maybe real friendships have been formed. Perhaps you tip generously every time...or, at least every time you don't completely forget.

These anonymous bartender confessions address many of our curiosities — and tackle a few things we hadn't even thought of before. Read on at your own risk, and consider brushing up on your pleases and thank-yous before ordering your next vodka-soda with lime.
