i have a couple things i do if my barback steps up and takes customers without 
my permission.

plan A:  after the barback makes the drink for the customer and tries to make 
the sale, i pull him/her aside and explain, "you are the barback, i am the 
barfront"  "when a customer asks for anything, explain that the bartender will 
be right with them"  pretty simple.

plan B:  (passive aggresive, i dont recommend, but have done this when pissed 
off) i let the barback take the order, make the drink, and when it comes time 
for him/her to tender the money, i ignore them.  at our place, we have our own 
banks and our own 'swipe cards'.  the barback needs my 'swipe card' to ring up 
the drink.  so i leave the barback hanging.  let him make a fool of himself.  
like i said, there are better ways to get the point.  like plan A.
