Well i actually read the OP because it wasn't a bunch of nerd-rear end paragraphs

I can barely tell why you got fired tbh (i thought u were the manager??) and you didnt do anything wrong considering how easily emotions can flare and, in the same situation, many people would have said something worse; including myself. Customers can be pieces of poo poo and it sucks treating each one as a delicate flower whose business you are eternally grateful for.

We are going to need a team of highly trained investigators, linguists, cryptographers, analysts, and psychologists to decipher the OP's story. We are going to need funding too. Possibly even roll this project into its own tech start up.

Rum, irish cream, milk, kahlua, and creme de cacao blended with a glass of ice. It's a startlingly tasty alcoholic chocolate milkshake. Never heard of one unblended but that's the least confusing thing happening in here

Alcoholic milkshake basically

Customer didn't specifically state that they wanted it to be frozen so OP brought them a glass of alcoholic milk

Someone ordered a drink off the menu and sent it back because it wasn't made correctly, OP told the waiter to charge them an extra $3 fee for fixing his fuckup, then when the customer objected to paying extra to get their drink as ordered the OP told them they took the charge off the bill because they "didn't feel like arguing" rather than admit to the 2 mistakes they had made at this point.

Actually I feel bad now and I was a weirdo.

I bartended for over a decade is this really a thing charging more for a blended drink? I mean they were a pain in the rear end but we never ever could charge 3 bucks for the hassle.

My specialty was muddled drinks so I was a glutton for punishment

It's hard to sympathize with anyone here OP because those customers were rude and also you're an rear end in a top hat, but that's what working with customers will do to you. Also everything about bar culture and how passionate you talk about drinks just makes me wish the customer was harder on you.
