A couple of ski resort based antics for posh kids
with too much money (or in this case, not enough).

Back in 2004/05 I worked in a fairly upmarket ski resort - it was no Klosters, but it wasn't cheap. We used to get shedloads of students coming on their uni trips, nearly 1200 a week for about 5 weeks in a row.

I worked in a bar that was included on all their official bar crawls, so I got to see pretty much every one coming through the door.

One evening, when Oxford Uni was in town, a group of 5 walked in. They were instantly recognisable; Crew shirts, tight jeans, oversize belts and bug eyed sunglasses for the girls and the boys idiotically braving the cold in their Uni tour t-shirts.

The lead muppet saunters up to the bar and starts gathering orders from his friends. He orders all his friend's drinks and then pauses. He's noticed the Whisky shelf - the owner of the bar was a Single Malt fanatic and had over 80 on a high shelf above the bar. The prices for the top end ones were 100-150 euros for a glass.

He arrogantly smarms at me "I'll have the most expensive one please."

I'm not surprised, but I ask him if he's sure, and tell him there are nicer ones for less. He's adamant he wants the most expensive one, and I finally pour it for him, then tot up the bill.

His total comes to just under 200 euros. When I tell him this, he goes pale. His jaw sags comically. For about 30 seconds, I enjoy the look on his face, before re-iterating the total.

He looks inside his wallet, and there's a paltry 50 euros inside. He stammers "I didn't know it'd be so much."

Then he pipes up, "Oh, I'll just put it on Dad's credit card, I thought I left it in the hotel."

Cunt.

What a twat
Not so much for resorting to charging his dad, more for ordering "the most expensive" with only 50 Euros in his wallet.
At least he had some way to pay for it. I'm no whisky fanatic but even I think it'd be a shooting offence to let a glass of £150-a-glass single malt go to waste.

Bet he downed the lot in a oner too. Twat.

It wouldn't have gone to waste
I was fully planning on having it myself it he didn't drink it. What annoyed me the most was he was able to pay for it in the end.

I was looking forward to a most sweet victory, but I was denied.

I know what I would've done
Pour him the cheapest (bet he'd never know the difference), charge for the most expensive and pocket the difference.
