well, i bartended a long time ago. that orange was probably used in a 12 dollar drink. you want an orange, that's a 12 dollar drink i cant sell. you want a cheap orange go buy one at a grocery store. that's a 12 dollar orange. aka "let me get a 12 dollar orange vodka paradise, hold the vodka, please," cause we didn't peacemeal olives and cherrys, and we didn't sell redbull, but we did have them for Jagger bombs.
it's pretty funny that he rang it up as a stolen orange, bartenders tend to have a very sarcastic attitude when dealing with stupid arguments. i'm sure this was all explained to the guy who got into the bartenders supplies and helped himself. he would have had to toss the odka used for the drink if he ranng up te drink to sell the orange - because the patron like argued, "well, i don't want a drink," and in order to keep the correct volumes of liquor based on sales OF liquor - which is tightly tracked and reported to minimize loss, and it's the law at least in texas, the only option for the bartender to both ring up the 12 bucks that orange is integral to earning AND not waste good vodka that can be sold neat, is to add a miscellaneous charge, and because jack-asses do jack-ass things and then post pictures of it online and only tell their side of the story (in which they really don't understand how this rip-off bar can make me pay 12 dollars for an orange that should be .50 cents at the grocery store, what an outrage, and the bartender was rude, what a jerk-face!) a typically cheeky bartender keys in something like "stolen orange $12" and explains everything important and justifies the charge AND makes the idiot customer look like an idiot when they go complain on social media how all the did was take an orange. in the world of retail, food, drink or otherwise, the concept of selling an assembly, a product composed of multiple products assembled into one package with a price for the whole based on the sum cost of goods, you're not required to allow the assembly to be broken down and the component products sold separately.
like a gift basket with lots of little hand soaps and perfumes and scented powders. pull it apart and try and buy just the lip-balm, and see if bed-bath-and-beyond gets pissed you damaged a product and makes you pay for it.
"hey, you wanna go to the grocery store and buy a .50 cent orange and bring it back over here to replace the one you took i'll refund you back your 12 bucks, how about that."
"well, that's just ridiculous, you can't make me do that. hell no."
then that's a 12 dollar orange bruh.
i liked this story. i love a good cheeky bartender makes idiot patron pay to be an idiot for fucking up common sense bar ettiquette like helping yourself to bar stock. i used to use a towel to rat tail pop peoples hands when they went reaching for the soda gun or something stupid like digging into the garnish tray. dont put your nasty fingers in there.

@previous (A)
i always let designated drivers drink free soda and tea or whatever as long as it wasn't something i had to open. other than that usually people drank beer, well drinks, or wasted good liquor in gay little mixed drinks to impress the other college kids. except old drunks who asked for good scotch and old fancy birds who drank up the tiny bottles of e.j.gallo white zinfandel or merlot.
Zima and wine cooler hooch got held back for the single chicks with upset over their cheating exes. the, "i like *hic* you..." girls.
i knew my patrons.

and the bartender in the op did too, and pocketed 12 bucks as a tip, because miscellaneous charges can go in and be split off onto a separate ticket and removed with zero cost for a net balance of $0.00 and closed out with a free water. and the 12 bucks goes to tip, which is whatever remains after settling up the closed register and paying your cash out.
because dude definitely wasn't going to leave a tip, made some kind of scene, took away a house specialty drink you weren't going to get to make a tip off the upcharge over the $6 dollar drinks, and was probably also the bar manager during their shift as they often are and the GM probably said, good, serves him right.
bartenders tend to serve people right. or you don't stay bartender long.

Drinking at a bar is like watching a movie at a movie theater.
