The bartender takes IT out and gives the drink a little stir and gives it back to the customer.

While I should have stopped the transaction, frankly there was too much opportunity for a classic story to stop it. I should note that I was also duly impressed with the tenders speed and agility in fixing the customers drink one handed.
