OH, THAT’S GOOD!!!
The face I make when I sip a new beer and think, “That right there, might just be alright!”
FLIRTATIOUS NON-TIPPERS REALLY BOTHER ME!!!
Flirtatious non-tippers really bother me! You know what, let me take that back because I don’t waste much time on them. However, it does make me wonder how their mind operates. For example, nothing puzzles me like a woman who doesn’t tip the bartender not one single dollar the entire night, but has the gall…
NOT DRINKING AGAIN UNTIL THE JOB IS DONE!!!
A lot of you know that one of my goals for this year is to open a bartending school. For the most part, I’ve put all the pieces of the puzzle together. I’ve accumulated just about all the equipment needed, a general contractor for the buildout, a curriculum and textbook that I developed, and I’m…
IT’S ALL MY FAULT!!!
My girlfriend and I have been together for about two years now. Within that time her taste in spirits has definitely elevated. She’s probably going to kill me for this, but she has gone from Arbor Mist and cheap vodka, to wine from Alsace, France and Woodford Reserve bourbon! Her dad even compliments her on…
POOR TIPPERS AND REALITY!!!
One of my sisters in the service industry, Ashley W., uploaded a post (on Facebook) yesterday of an article that an aspiring graduate student wrote. (pictured below.) It ignited a flurry of comments on Ashley’s page about when it is appropriate not to tip. Most people (the ones who probably didn’t have enough to tip…
DID YOU REALLY JUST SAY THAT SHIT TO ME?
CUSTOMER: Alex, I’m ready to tab out. He hands me his bank card and places some cash on the bar. He points at the cash and says: CUSTOMER: The cash is your tip, put the bill on my card. I pick up the cash without looking at it (because it’s rude to count your tips…

“DRANK TILL YOU THROW-UP!”
“CASH MONEY MOTTO, DRANK TILL WE THROW-UP!” are the lyrics Baby proudly raps in the club banger “Bling, Bling.” A motto countless amounts of dumbass people live by every weekend! Some people just don’t know how to put on the brakes when consuming alcohol with their crew. I once witnessed a guy start with the…
“HEY, WHERE’S MY PINOT!”
“Hey, where’s my Pinot!” Shouts a female customer, (referencing a drink that she had in the hole, purchased by another customer earlier.) while raming fried chicken wings down her throat. I gave an intentional, transparent look of disapproval, then took a step in closer, and said. “What you meant to say was”, ‘Excuse me bartender,…
DON’T TAKE GAS TO THE SERVICE STATION!!!
I am fully aware that sometimes we have to tighten our belts and adjust to our currant conditions, by setting a budget. However, your budget should never cross paths with the hard working people of the service industry. Bars and other venues that are characterized as entertainment, are luxuries. They are the items that are…
TOUGH SKIN
I have to admit, being a bartender is great! Having a captivating profession and befriending wonderful people, are always a sublime combination.But what about those days that aren’t so sublime, or that customer who’s attitude is less than wonderful? How do you handle it when customers become disruptive, and attempt to substitute your feelings for…
