    Don't you love karma?

    OK, I don't want this story to sound like I was wishing pain on this customer, but boy did he deserve it and boy was it funny!

    The bar was slightly busy, and the SC came up to the bar wanting served. Apparently he believed if he battered his empty pint glass on the bar top, we would get to him quicker.

    BANG! BANG! BANG!

    Me: OK sir, I'll get to you as soon as it is your turn.

    SC completely ignores me, and proceeds to bang the glass on the bar harder.

    BANG! BANG! BANG!

    Me: Sir, I know you are there, I will get to you as soon as I can!

    BANG! BANG!

    SMASH!

    Yes, that's right, the glass exploded. All over his hand. But I'll tell you this, the look on his face was hilarious. The only way I can describe the look was "What?? Glass can break??"

    I gave him the first aid kit. A few customers were laughing at him. He decided to go home and treat his wounds. He wasn't badly injured, but had a few cuts in the palm of his hand.

    Beautiful!

    There is no breed of dog more in need of our compassion; in need of our call to arms on their behalf; and in need of what should be the full force of our enduring sanctuary.

      Was he, like, mentally challenged? Who would keep banging a glass against a counter and not expect it to break?

          Should've charged him for the glass. Insult AND injury!

              He probably goes to bars to drink because all his glasses at home are broken.

                        Quite beautiful. I can only imagine how he explained these injuries to his friends associates.

                          I get the sinking feeling that all the percussively-maintained glasses in the world embedded in this guy's hand wouldn't cause him to learn any lessons at all. . .

                              I bet next time he'll complain that the glass is too fragile.
