^What Binary said.
If I've been stood at a bar for 10 minutes and don't get served ahead of the bar staff's mates who have only just come in, I get pretty pissed off. Some of your comments I agree with, some of them just make you come across as a tit.

The waving money about bit - I hate doing it, but sometimes it's the only way of getting the cockroaches behind the bar to actually acknowledge that you're there, as eye contact doesn't seem to fucking work half the time.

I maintain that a good bar person will have a reasonable idea of who is next in line to be served. I'm prepared to accept that in a busy pub this may not always be possible.

And yes, I have worked in a bar.
