Not Reading the Room
Many bartenders will agree that you should spend your money however you’d like, but there are certain drinks you shouldn’t order at a bar when it’s busy, like a time-intensive Ramos Gin Fizz. When orders are coming in every few seconds, time is money, and the last thing you should do is slow down service.

It’s perfectly fine if you want to bop or do a little shimmy while you wait for your drink. However, don’t clear out an entire floor for you and a friend when it’s busy, says Josee Moua Do, a former bartender-turned-caterer. This also applies to blocking any staff passageways with your moves. Be respectful to other customers waiting to order and employees who need to get in and out to do their jobs.
