What Is A Buyback? And How Come I’ve Never Gotten One?

Have you ever received a buyback from a bartender?  Have you ever heard of a buyback?  Me neither until I read this Yahoo! article.  A "buyback" is a free drink a bartender will give you after you've bought a couple of drinks.  In my time here in San Angelo, I've never gotten one.  Have you?  Now bartenders want to do away with the practice!  And I haven't even gotten one yet! :(  Plead with your local bartender to reconsider!  Comment below if you're with me (or if you think I'm too much of a lush)!
