@Lau_wings Жыл бұрын

I remember growing up in a small town, the small town bartender was on point. To put it this way, half of the regulars had a key to the bar so they could open up if the owner/only bartender was running late and when he went out for a smoko break you were allowed to pour your own beer, open the register and take your change. I honestly dont remember there ever being an issue with anyone stealing from the bar and the only fights were usually between brothers/family members.

@@lnAmberClad had a manager try to tell me a gimlet was served on the rocks in a pint glass and tipped with soda. When I told them that wasn’t even a variation, just a straight up a different drink, pretty much a collins. But no, I was told to get with the program and we do fun variations…. They also muddled fruit into their old fashioned, shook them, and then served them full of ice to the rim. Told that was a specialty of ours too. Was considered insubordinate if I made a guest a proper old fashioned built in glass or dared served the gimlet neat and up. Eventually we had a staff meeting where I got yelled at for moping the floor at night after my shift, because it was the morning checklist. No one got yelled at for not doing it, just me for doing it. Also got ripped a new one for never doing roll ups, when I worked solo at night, but again morning duties. The day after the meeting we didn’t even have any napkins in house, so everyone that told me how important napkins were, had to look me in the eye the next morning and tell me they didn’t order any. Maybe I’m hard to work with, or maybe I just want the basics to be right.
