this is gonna sound silly, but could someone write step by step instructions on how to go to a bar in the USA? I'm talking autistic details on ordering, paying, tipping.

@Wrest
Go up to bar, sit at least one seat away from the next patron.
Bartender will ask you what you're drinking, if you don't already know because you're drinking something standard (jack and coke, domestic beer), ask for the drink menu or a list if you're drinking a cocktail or something more expensive (this would be passé at a dive bar). Alternatively, ask about any specials they may be running (it will not be nice stuff but it's usually a pretty good deal). Avoid ipas unless you like pot.
When you order your last drink you can go ahead and close out, or you can wait til you finish it to ask but you may wind up sitting there a minute if they're busy and don't notice that you need to be checked on.
Standard tipping is 10-20% and depends on how cute and or nice to you the barkeep was, though generally I just leave a ten.

@ins0mniak @pwm @Wrest but the dudes said IPAs rock @ the barcade
@subnetter @mischievoustomato @ins0mniak @Wrest I don't partake personally, but to me they taste the way especially loud weed smells.

Sensory integration in a way that I completely understand and find overwhelming at times, this is maybe the most relatable take I've ever read at random.
@pwm @mischievoustomato @ins0mniak @Wrest okay with Laguanitas I get it, it's shit. However, a decent IPA is a great experience and doesn't taste like Elysian Spacedust or Voodoo Ranger
@subnetter @mischievoustomato @ins0mniak @Wrest In your opinion, what should I try to soften my stance here? anything I can get on what I presume is the other side of the country from you? I am a bumpkin.
