Can you make a bar guide book?

I’m sitting at this bar on the West side of Chicago. Enjoying myself with about 10 other patrons in the joint, when a group of people about 25-30 years of age come in. They walk up to the bar, of course, standing in front of a couple people’s seats, and the bartender asks what would they like to drink. No response. He asks again. No response, still. Then they ask for a wine list. Yikes. Ask what is on tap. Not a damn tapper to be seen in the whole joint. The bartender looks over at me and says, “Vince, can you write a friggin’ guide on how to act in a bar?” Yep, the Dive Right In guide book was created. True story.
