What was the bartender's motive?

So I was at a local bar sitting at the bar watching the Blackhawks/Flyers game tonight, enjoying a few beers, the usual.. So a bartender and I were talking during commercials and intermissions about our lives etc, and she didn't talk to other customers except to ask for drinks. So anyway it got a bit busier so she didn't have much time to talk but whenever she walked by me she would smile at me. I didn't think too much of it; I just figured she'd do what it took for me to buy another drink, after all that's what she's getting paid to do. So come the end of the game, I ask for my bill and was surprised to see that I wasn't charged for 2 pints (I had ordered 3 pints and 1 bottle, and on the bill it had 1 pint and 1 bottle).

Can anyone help me understand what her intentions were?

    It's a common dishonest practice in the business - she is counting on a big tip at the expense of her employer. And, the friendly chit-chat leading up to the presentation of your tab is part of the game. Not charging for drinks is the same as taking money out of the till.

    She was clearly interested in you. Her motive was to play it cool and get you to notice her because she is probably attracted to you.

  • She has a 'crush' on you.
