Did I react well?

[AverageHero]

This guy came in, (an acquaintance) and asked for a drink from me in the bar I work in. He started to chat to the chick that I like who I work with while I was serving him. After giving me the exact money for the drink he said 'Keep the change'..in a cheeky tone, basically trying to put me down in front of that girl to make himself look good or powerful.

I told him that there was no change in an equally smart tone. Afterwards, he came up and tried to say goodbye (in front of chick). I asked him if he'd also let me keep the change later in an antagonistic manner. He started laughing, and said he couldn't take me seriously. I replied 'ditto'. He said goodbye and I said nothing. Male workmate asked me in front of chick if I knew him - I replied 'yes, from school, he's a loser', when loser had left.

The b*stard will try and say sorry (I know his type) - I will make him do it public (facebook) if he wants to apologise. Otherwise he was trying a power play in front of a girl I work with to look good, to my detriment.

Did I deal with him correctly?

well judging by his IOI's I say no.

I don't see what you're talking about.

OP: It seems like a snarky and effective putdown but you tell us whether it worked or not. What are the results?

it was sarcasm.

to be honest OP, you shouldnt be treating customers like that, even if he was being a douchebag.

sounds like your emotions got the best of you. remember only a playa pimp doesnt let things affect him. even if it was a b*tch ass customer trying to look good infront other women.

Believe you're the great catch. Know that you're better than the douche, and your actions will speak the same. If he was trying to look cool in front of this bird, odds are she knew what he was doing. Women actually know a lot, they just pretend not to. Because he was trying to look cool, she wouldn't really get with him (if she's the right type of girl). You had nothing to worry about. Just play it cool next time knowing chicks don't go for guys who try too hard. Like what Mr. Douche was clearly doing.
