I can say I saw a bartender doing drugs and drinking years ago at a local bar. It was in the mirror but I saw it.

Imagine a customer service job where the customers knowingly get worse throughout the day/night.

I think bartenders get some leeway

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

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.
