- That girl you were feelin' and got a # from? She comes in twice a week and goes home with a different guy everytime.
- That girl you bought a drink for? She already had 3 different guys buy her drinks before you got there. (the trick is to be the last one)
- Even though they aren't supposed to, a good amount of bartenders drink on the job. that soda they're drinking? half full of rum.
- Don't act up. you'll be kicked out IMMEDIATELY. nobody wants to be held accountable for your %$+. vomit? GONE. put your head down? GONE. fall asleep? GONE. If you are a chick, we'll call a cab and get you home. a dude? you're getting dragged out. and don't resist or talk %##* either, it's your drunk word against the establishment. yeah, no chance. unfortunately a couple of our door guys abuse this, never thrown any blows though.
- If our boss is drunk or gone, it's on as far as drinkingone of the bartenders was giving us tall jack and cokes half filled with whiskeywe were thrashed, that's including shots customers took with us that night
- I try my best to be polite, but if i've got a tray full of dirty glasses and i've had to ask you 4 times to move already that night, it's going right into your back. I won't have to ask again.
- Only seen ONE big fight while i've been there, some dude was hitting on a guys wife, got ran up on, other guy hits him, wife gets in the way and gets Snookied. royal rumble startsCRAZY. tables falling over, glass everywhere, chick was gushing blood from her nose. Thankfully that hasn't happened in awhile.
is the "no drinking" just a policy at your bar or pretty universal?
NTers will probably flame me for it, but whether the bartender is a guy or girl, if they are cool I enjoy buying an extra shot for them to join in on the festivities. Should I refrain from doing so in the future? I don't want to get anyone in trouble.
