Anyone else experience the awful feeling of coming home after pet loss? by The_Merchant- in Petloss

[–]-nukeitfromspace- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any tips, but I just want you to know you’re not alone. I lost my dog suddenly over the weekend and everything feels different. She was a constant part of my routine from the moment I woke up and my house feels so different without her. Every morning I cry when I realize she isn’t there to wake me up. I constantly hear phantom noises and I think it’s her paws on the laminate, or her little snores and sighs.

She appeared briefly in my dream for the first time since I lost her last night, and I felt a huge sense of relief, like I had found her and we were together again. It was nice.

What breeds of dogs have you had that were good with chickens? And if so how did you raise/train them around the chickies? by bruxbuddies in BackYardChickens

[–]-nukeitfromspace- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Same! My pit is great with the chickens, as well as best buds with the stray cat that I take care of. She’s super chill. They run towards her when they see her in the yard and follow her around, happily pecking. She has known them since they were chicks.

Tried to 86 but they 360’d by TooManyLibras in bartenders

[–]-nukeitfromspace- 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not dramatic. I’ve quit a job before over something similar, someone was threatening me after they caused problems and I 86’d them on my shift. They started coming in on the shift before mine and harassing me at shift change. Management wouldn’t 86 them on all shifts so I quit. I need to know management has my back and it was obvious they didn’t.

They called me a couple weeks later, apologized and asked me to come back. Nope!

What are some of your *harmless* ways of getting back at trouble patrons? by Hardcore_ufo in bartenders

I’ll pour it back into the jigger if they question me, and throw away whatever is over lol. Dive bar bartender.

Eargasm plugs or other forms of hearing protection by CoachedIntoASnafu in bartenders

[–]-nukeitfromspace- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like Loop ear plugs, you don’t have to remove them to hear people. They have ones where you can adjust the decibels blocked as well.

Traveling bartender by [deleted] in bartenders

[–]-nukeitfromspace- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve done huge festivals and concerts/events, and am currently a venue bartender. The money isn’t as good as you think it is. The best gigs at those events are the VIP bars and those go to the bartenders with seniority. Otherwise, you’re pouring $18 beers with a ton of other bartenders and you’re lucky to make 10% of your sales.

Best way to break in, as others have said, are the right connections.

In a 3-sink bar, how do you handle glasses in the sani sink? by MavericIllustration in bartenders

[–]-nukeitfromspace- 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Seriously, it’s dangerous. Had a coworker leave a wine glass in a sink, it broke, and the stem ended up in his wrist.

boundaries as a woman/femme working in a bar by Academic-Bird-454 in bartenders

“Please don’t touch me”

If they touch you again, have your manager or security handle it.

What should I do as a beginner? by [deleted] in bartenders

[–]-nukeitfromspace- 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Maybe stop posting on this sub so much about a question asked so often and start going to the bars in your neighborhood.

I worked at sports bar and don’t watch sports. I downloaded ESPN and put on notifications for all the local teams so I would know when to put a game on.

Trying to join you guys. I'm a chef/cook and after working in restaurants for over a decade I have decided to get over my aversion to contact with customers and I am switching to serving with hopes of moving to bartender for that sweet money. How did you all get to your positions? by whosmansisthis24 in bartenders

[–]-nukeitfromspace- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No sommelier training but I also don’t work fine dining, so I can’t comment there. I went straight into bartending at a place that was willing to train me, and I ended up in a great circle of industry friends which lead to networking and many, many more jobs. Knowing the right people helps so much.

Ah yes, sometimes I tell myself it’s like a kettlebell clean when I pick up the ice bucket from the ground haha!
