OMC: What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve seen a bar patron do?
PK: When I was the beverage manager at the W Hotel in Seattle, we used to get a lot of celebrities. Quentin Tarantino was in one time, and the server brought back his Cosmopolitan and said, “Mr. Tarantino says his Cosmopolitan is not cold enough. He wants his $7.50 back.”
I had just started my job there, so I said to the server, “Tell Mr. Tarantino that I saw ‘Jackie Brown’ and I want my $7.50 back.” The server decided to say that to Tarantino, and I almost lost my job the first week I was there.
