1. An example of poor customer service by an apathetic bartender;
Being the only person/group of people stood at the bar waiting to be served while the bartender/dosy blonde barmaid is checking his/her e-mails and/or facebook, completely oblivious to his/her waiting patrons.

The Penny Effect is where girls take pictures of themselves looking down and spot a penny on the ground. The luck from said penny gives their pictures whatever they need to be posted.
Girl 1- I saw where Jenny went to the wishing well in her last selfie.
Girl 2- Yeah, so no matter where she looked down, the pic was gonna be perf.
Girl 1- Abusing the Penny Effect.
Girl 2- Bitch.

y: Yeah, he's done his part, but it was so penny-assed that we're gonna have to redo it.
