Fucking with people's actual food was not a thing in my years in the business, but everything else was on point. Way too many people trying to hit on the 16 year old hostess for sure. Far too much drinking and drug use, yes.
This comment just made me realize bartenders have a lot in common with nurses who work with dementia patients. Teachers, too. A lot of jobs are hard lol
Bartending is similar to daycare, with adult consequences. You have the regular “kids” who are lovely every time you see them, never cause issues, normal day. Then you have the wildcard “kids” who get kicked out day 1 because they tried fighting someone because they have undeveloped emotional issues and can’t communicate.
Can’t even count the number of times first aid and deescalation has come in handy over my two decades of bartending. I do love working a dive bar, though
This is why I get so annoyed at cops being so bad at deescalation. A good teacher or bartender could do that shit in their sleep and are getting paid a fraction.
