Buy Back - n. - A free drink from a bartender given to a customer who exhibits one or more of the following behaviors: extensive tipping, having a really great personality, or being extremely attractive.
Proper usage--
One bartender to the other: "Give that guy a buy back. He's mad chill and hooked me up with a fat tip last time he came in."
Incorrect usage WHICH I ACTUALLY HEARD SOMEONE SAY THE OTHER NIGHT--
Douchebag customer to the bartender: "Do you guys do buy backs here?"
Ok. You can't ASK for a buy back! Would you go in to a restaurant and ask your server for a free appetizer just cuz? No. To be honest I was a little delighted when I heard this, as my friend John was bartending that night. First of all, that particular bar is very liberal with their free-drink-giving so had he not asked the question, he probably would have gotten a free drink. Second of all, John is from New Jersey and doesn't take a lot of shit...especially from some guy who brings his own pool cues to the bar and has the collar on his polo shirt popped. So here's what happened:
Guy: Do you guys do buy backs here?
John: Uh, sometimes we do.
Guy: Ok cool, because this is my third beer.
John: Ok buddy. I'm glad you're keeping track.
....
John (to the other bartender): See that fucking guy over there? Don't give him shit.
