Followed by a horse. Whereupon the bartender looks up from his phone and says to the horse:

"Why the long face?"

I’ll bite: is there a “standard” price for tokens or this a “happy hour price”?

A piece of string walks into a bar.
The bartender say "get out of here, we don't serve string".
So the piece of string goes out side and messes up his hair and wraps him self up in a ball and goes back inside the bar.
The bartender says "aren't you that piece of string I just told to get out of here"?
To which the piece of string relies "I'm a frayed knot".

I’d have a few words with my bartenders if that was the case. At least a soda or bottled water when he buys the tokens. I’m sure there is some law against having to buy a drink.

I would never have a token special. It costs what it costs. Your nephew is taking up space.

Employees should not be using their Cell Phones while at work. It has nothing to do with the phones.

Yeah, i feel the same way. BUT you can't blame the nephew?
If there was advantages in life or places, i'd try to make the best out of myself also.
But for me, i'd be appreciative of ht options I have and make it worth the barcades while better.

A group of people walk into a bar to drink martinis and play the latest game: Rick and Morty. Your nephew is on the machine and continues to play. The group walks out because they can’t play.

How did that special work out. It’s a bar....the objective is to sell booze.

But the nephew walks back in tomorrow and drops more tokens to play. If the people drinking were pinball players. They will come back or wait. Keeping them drinking or playing other games. I drove 3 hours to try Wonka for the first time. I had to wait. What's the big deal. And I bought more drinks while I waited to get my turn.

Seems like the system is working as designed, what's the problem? I'm not understanding the complaint unless its just about the inattentive bartenders.

That's called good service!!

Just guessing that the bartenders recognized your nephew, since he's in there frequently.
They know that he doesn`t drink, plays pinball, and no point in pestering him.
Sounds fine to me. Better than if the story ended with them leaving the place since the staff wouldn't leave them alone.

. A grasshopper walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "We have a drink named after you!" The grasshopper says, "You have a drink called Freddy?

Three vampires walk into a bar. The first one says, "I'll have a pint of blood."
The second one says, "I'll have one, too."
The third one says, "I'll have a pint of plasma."
The bartender says, "So, that'll be two Bloods and a Blood Lite?"

A naked blonde walks into a bar, carrying a poodle under one arm and a 6 foot salami under the other. The Bartender says, 'So, I don't suppose you'd be needing a drink?' The blonde says

A gorilla walks into a bar and says, "A scotch on the rocks, please." The gorilla hands the bartender a $10 bill. The bartender thinks to himself, "This gorilla doesn't know the prices of drinks," and gives him 15 cents change.
The bartender says, "You know, we don't get too many gorillas in here." The gorilla replies, "Well, at $9.85 a drink, I ain't coming back, either."

Is your brother the priest and your nephew the rabbi, or is it the other way around?

Another good joke thread

I haven’t had a drink in 17 years at a bar, I buy a soda water or a bottle of water and have yet to ever be kicked out of a bar for not drinking enough.

As much as I don’t like the look of employees in any business staring at their phones rather than actually working the times are a changing and I’m not going to spend any additional energy actually worrying about it... last thing I need is another ok boomer comment

A man walks into a bar.
He's an alcoholic and it's destroying his family.

A panda walks into a bar.
He gobbles some beer nuts, then pulls out a pistol, fires it in the air, and heads for the door.
“Hey!” shouts the bartender, but the panda yells back, “I’m a panda. Google me!”
Sure enough, panda: “A tree-climbing mammal with distinct black-and-white coloring. Eats shoots and leaves.”

The barman says, “We don’t serve time travellers in here.”
A time traveller walks into a bar.

This cowboy walks into a bar.
His hat is made of brown wrapping paper.
His shirt and vest are made of waxed paper.
And his chaps, pants, and boots are made of tissue paper.
Pretty soon they arrest him for rustling.

A man runs into a bar.
Panting, he tells the barkeep, “Give me ten shots of your best whiskey—quick!”
So the barkeep sets them up and the man knocks them all back in seconds.
“Why you drinking so fast?” asks the barkeep.
“You’d drink fast too, if you had what I have,” says the man.
“Why, what do you have?” asks the barkeep.
“Only twelve cents.”

A termite walks into a bar and asks "is the bartender here?"

I grew up in Flat Rock. There's an arcade bar in Monroe? Puffdanny

A man walks into a bar and asks for a beer. After drinking it, he looks in his shirt pocket and then proceeds to ask for another beer.

After drinking the next one, he again looks in his shirt pocket and again asks for another beer.

This happens about another seven times before the curious bartender finally asks him, “Say, every time you order a beer, you look in your shirt pocket. Why is that?”

The man replies, “I have a picture of my wife in there. When she starts to look good, I’ll go home.”

OUCH!

I have to admit, I chuckled.

Major chuckle!

A guy walks into a bar. He sits down and orders a drink. He says to the bartender; "see that guy down at the end of the bar? He's a real douchebag." The bartender says, "why do you say that?" The guy says, "Just trust me. He's a douchebag". The bartender says, "I don't think that's very nice, I'm going to buy him a drink". So the bartender walks down to the end of the bar and says, "Hey fella. I'm going to buy your next drink. What'll ya' have?". The guy replies; "I'll have a vinegar and water"............ baaada bump!

I grew up in Monroe, and make a trip back now and then. There's an arcade bar in Monroe?

Guy walks into a bar with a set of jumper cables ... bar tender takes one look at him and says Ok buddy you can have a drink .... but you better not try & start anything

If I'm paying them, and my policy is no personal calls or cell phones while on duty, then that's the way it's going to be. Most of my employees have worked for me 8+ years. The ones that have left were seasonal part-time help that I would not have expected to work more than a season or two. Everyone knows I'm easy to work for, just follow my guidelines.

I also grew up in Flat Rock until I was 10.there's a barcade in Downtown Monroe. One of the mod stores on here @ulekstore operates the games and keeps them like they are home use!!!!

..."OH $HIT!!!!!!!"
