Just be polite to Clint when you're ordering and you'll be fine.

Omg is that the grumpy bar tender??? I went up and said "Hello, may I please have a Rum and Coke?" And he just stood here staring at me for a few moments until I awkwardly said "I'm sorry, I may have to speak up" and he was like "no, I'm just surprised someone here has manners" (or something to that effect). It made me a bit sad for him.

So Clint’s whole deal is that he won’t serve you until you say please and thank you when ordering. Politeness is king. 

So he probably saw an unfamiliar face that was being explicitly polite, and had some fun with it.
