La Ranita Regulars

[Bumper]

Here's some folks you're likely to run into if you spend much time enjoying the hospitalty of that well-patronized PlayaInfo watering hole - La Ranita. Anybody sound familiar?

The Expert
No One can clear a bar out faster than "The Expert". He's the one who's been there, done that, has the T-Shirt and the hat. Heck, he even owns part of it! He knows something about everything and doesn't hesitate to tell you about it.

The Smokers
People always smoke more when they're drinking. There are two kinds of smokers; those that chain smoke and invariably sit next to a non-smoker and the "OPC" smokers. The latter are the kind who's favorite brand is "OPC's" (Other People's Cigarettes). They only smoke when they drink or their wife doesn't know they're smoking again, so they bum instead of forking out the eight bucks bars charge for a pack of their own.

The Muncher
"The Muncher" is the one who always parks himself next to your garnish tray. You never actually see him sneaking olives and fruit. The tray's assortment just diminishes and there's always the tell-tale sign of fruit rinds and cherry stems left behind. They always want to know, "What kind of free snackies do you have back there?".

The Entertainment
Oh boy, here he comes! You know you're in for some laughs now. Everyone loves this patron. They practically line up to buy him a shot to see what he'll do this time. His visit lives on long after you've called him a cab. Days later the story of his antics gets better and better.

The Big Spender
"The Big Spender" always buys a round of drinks for the bar. The tab comes up to $39.00 and he whips out two twenties and tells you to, "Keep the change. Ya know, you're a real good bartender!". You feel grateful that he remembered a tip this time.

The Jokester
"Hey, have you heard the one about..." is their usual opening statement. The joke is usually the one you told them last week, but once in awhile they come up with some gems.

The Complainer
The dog's in the vet again, the car wouldn't start after spending three hours shovelling the driveway, which put out his back and wouldn't you know, the doctor's office was closed and he had to spend the entire night in the emergency room listening to some old lady complain about her bursitis.

The Talker
Your bar is full, the lounge and dining room are packed, and there's a wedding in the banquet room. You're the only bartender on, have blenders going at both ends of the bar, and "The Talker" just has to tell you "this one story."

The Sampler
"Hey, can you make me a Slimy Purple Flying Albatross?" After you make it they decide that they want to try something else usually because the one they just told you how to make didn't quite taste as good as the one they had in the islands. You just know how bad they're going to feel in the morning.
