Bartender disciplined after woman accidentally orders $2300 drink lynsey_36\/TikTok, CanvaA woman was mortified to learn her cocktail cost a staggering $2,300 in a hotel bar, forcing the bartender to be disciplined by the manager. A woman named Lynsey took to TikTok to tell viewers the story of how she and her husband had been enjoying drinks at a 5-star hotel in London when she\u2019d made the expensive mistake of ordering a drink called \u201c1890\u201d, which ended up getting her bartender in trouble. After finishing their drinks, Lynsey was in for the shock of her life after receiving the bill for the \u201c1890\u201d cocktail she thought to cost around $20 but that actually ended up costing a staggering $2300. \u201cSo when I discovered the cocktail I had ordered was \u00a32,000, I showed my husband the receipt and he was furious at me\u201d, she revealed. According to Lynsey, the drink consisted of Cristal Champagne with sprinkled gold leaf and a 30-year-old whisky, which she didn\u2019t even end up liking as she wasn\u2019t a fan of whisky. Lynsey continued by saying: \u201cSo [her husband] left the bar. Left me on my own to deal with it. And I said to the young guy behind the bar, \u2018Look I\u2019m so sorry, I had no idea it was \u00a31,890\u2019.\u201d How did the woman \u201caccidentally\u201d order a $2300 drink? According to Lynsey, she ordered a cocktail called the \u201918 90\u2032 which she\u2019d assumed cost \u00a318.90 ($23) due to the design of the menu, not \u00a31,890 ($2300). But looking back on it, Lynsey admitted that the other prices were presented with the full stop in the middle and accepted it was \u2018definitely [her] mistake\u2019.

Lynsey began panicking and pleaded with the bartender that she couldn\u2019t possibly fork the two grand for the drink, which led the manager to come over to try to help sort out the mistake. She recalled the manager luckily being \u2018so discreet and so wonderful\u2019 about the whole thing before eventually reassuring Lynsey he would \u2018sort it out\u2019 and told her to go to her room and enjoy the rest of her stay. However, it\u2019s clear the impending small fortune of a bill was hanging over Lynsey\u2019s head the next four days of her trip leaving her to do everything she could to avoid the bar. Bartender disciplined after selling $2300 drink She eventually plucked up the courage to return to the bar one night when she bumped into the manager and, much to her surprise, he greeted her with open arms. However, that momentary relief was brief after Lynsey asked him what happened to the bartender. The manager told Lynsey the staff member had been fired which left her burst into tears as she told him: \u201cLook it\u2019s not worth the guy\u2019s job. I will pay the \u00a32,000. I\u2019m so, so, so sorry. It wasn\u2019t his fault.\u201d Luckily, the whole thing was just a joke with the manager quickly reassuring Lynsey the bartender hadn\u2019t lost their job but was sent for retraining as it wasn\u2019t the first time the expensive mix-up was made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
