Yes, many times, honesty comes in spurts. Usually the dishonest culprit trying to smooth over his misgivings with a tiny good deed. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent descriptions to help the reader visualize the scene, especially the bartender. Yeah, he's trying to be about as honest as he can get away with. You bring the character to life.
Best of luck in the contest.

I had to read the ending a couple of times before I got it: The bartender took his time getting to the door then whispered . . . Clever.

Good imagery in such a short piece and I really like the picture you used.

Good luck in the contest.

Great flash fiction story, and best of luck in the contest. Your descriptions of the setting are great and you give the necessary information about the characters. I love the bartender's attempt to be honest by whispering to the drunk that he'd forgotten his change. The drunk probably won't remember anything. judi

I didn't count your words but I'd bet you're ok. This is an excellent story. I enjoyed reading it. It was humorous and your presentation and author note are very good. You also use descriptive words, well, that draws in a reader. Best wishes!

This one-hundred-fifty-word story, Customer Service, has a cool setting that keeps us in the story and wondering where this brief tale will take us. Funny.

I enjoyed reading your western tale. I like how the bartender was quick to give the correct amount of change, yet he waters down the whiskey and is frugal with himself. Excellent writing that creates a clear scene and takes the reader to another time and place.
