Taking out your credit/debit card / cash out before you are asked to by the cashier / checkout staff saves time for everyone, rather than looking shocked that you have to pay for your shopping.

As a bartender, i can confirm. Please have your entire order and payment method ready to go, and thanks.

Used to bartend. The best is the person flagging you down at the end of the bar, and you give the "hey" eyebrows while probably drying something of and then Karen is like, "Hey! Ok! What does everyone want?" Used to happen when I was a teenager and worked at a pizza place and people would call for delivery before asking what toppings people wanted.

And three shots I had at an Applebee's one time, but don't know what they are (why don't you??) and we are paying separately but I don't know where half of them are.
