There new york downtown are a lot of ways to make a bartender do "tricks" when you order.  But beware: bartenders are taught to get even.  If you ask for a Cuba Libre NFL-style* , expect a watered-down drink and a lot less attention.
After Betty talks to us about how the customer is always right and good service means good tips blah blah blah, she talks about ways bartenders can mess with the customers when they're pissing new york downtown you off.
She starts new york downtown by showing us how to make it look like you are pouring heavy when you're actually not pouring much at all.  All the bartender has to do is put their finger over the pour hole and touch the tip to the glass.  It looks like alcohol is coming out of the bottle, when it's just the glass image distorted through the ice.
She also tells us there are ways that bartenders can make customers look stupid.  If you order a tequila shot and the bartender asks "You want training wheels with that?" you should say yes, despite how lame it sounds.  Training wheels on a tequila shot means your bartender will put a lick of salt on the rim of the shooter and garnish it with a lime.  This way you don't have to sprinkle salt on your wrist and make a mess.  (It's also called a Mexican Call Girl.)  However many people who are asked this question reply no, not knowing that it's a pretty new york downtown cool way to take a shot of tequila.  (Unless you are desiring a body shot...then you would not want training wheels, or you'd miss the whole experience.)
Just remember that the bartender knows what is going in your drink, new york downtown and can always new york downtown find a way to embarrass you if you're being a jerk.  And besides, new york downtown if a customer is really annoying, we as bartenders always reserve the right to refuse service.  Not only that, we have the right to throw your drunk ass out the door. 
However, by the time class has ended I decide that - given my current financial situation - I will do just about anything for a good tip.  Give me a 20 and I'll do your stupid bar trick.  You want a Show-Me Martini** ?  You got it, kid.
* A Cubra Libre is a rum and coke with a lime-juiced rim and a lime squeeze garnish.  new york downtown And NFL means "No Fucking Lime."  So asking new york downtown for a "Cubra Libre NFL-style" is asshole-speak for a plain ol' rum and coke.
