I’m a bartender and this is why I ALWAYS put customers’ straws into their drinks for them 

Have you ever been served a drink with a straw complete with the tip of the paper casing still intact?

Well, if you’ve ever wondered why this is the case, Ohio-based bartender Conner Kochansky has revealed all in a viral TikTok which has been viewed more than 370,000 times.

In the 11-second video, he describes one of his favorite server tips on straw etiquette.

He says he always puts straws in drinks and rips off the bottom half of the paper cover for customers. He then holds up the paper wrapper and explains: ‘Then you won’t find these everywhere in your department. Less sweeping, less stress.’

Dozens of viewers commented on Conner’s clip and many thanked him for his tip.

However, a commentator who works in the service industry said at their restaurant that the guest should ask for straws to save on plastic.

In his defense, Conner replied, “In the Midwest, everyone wants their straws.”

Another bartender commented, “I’m a waiter, we don’t even have the straws wrapped anymore…they’re just bare.” LOL.’

Connor emphasizes in the comments section that his method of unwrapping the straw is very sanitary as he never touches it at any point.

The bartender’s second most viewed TikTok shows him slamming QR code menus.

He advises fellow drink servers and wait staff: ‘If your restaurant has QR code menus, put the physical menus too.

“Nobody likes to look at their phone to see what they’re going to eat or drink, especially old people, and to make sure they’re wiped clean, too.”

Many viewers agreed with the hospitality pro.

One commenter says QR codes are especially annoying when the Wi-Fi is slow, and another foodie said many customers take longer to load QR menus, which can slow down the whole process.

Connor currently works at an Ohio branch of the sports-themed bar chain TopGolf.

Currently, he has shared 14 bartending tips over TikTok and has more in-depth advice in a book he wrote titled “Turning Tables: Make More Money Serving Tables.”

On Amazon, the tome is described as: “A collection of tips for service industry professionals to improve job satisfaction, guest experience, sales, tips, and people skills.

‘Centered around serving tables, these skills can be applied in the real world. This book will not only make you a better server, it will also make you a more effective person.”
