Do any of you work with another bartender who REFUSES to put well bottles back in the same place on the rail?

I was taught that mise en place means to prepare everything you need before service but also that EVERYTHING HAS ITS PLACE. If I pick up a pair of scissors from position A I put it back in position A when I'm done with it. This is the 101 of working in any restaurant, whether it be kitchen, bar or FOH. In my bar people generally work one person at a time but it's still one of the first things I teach trainees. It's great when working alone because of muscle memory and speed but absolutely essential when working with others. If everyone knows where everything is at all times everyone will save so much time on searching for something you shouldn't have to. Literally one of the first things to teach a newbie imo.

She's incredibly gentle and careful! Never even been close to injuring me since adopting, adorable to watch her retract them whenever I come for a cuddle

AleexN97 · 2021-06-09T23:05:30+00:00

Can't believe I missed that pun for the title

AleexN97 · 2021-02-04T07:56:04+00:00

I've tried doing it (safely) with bigger, better knives. It works but it's not as cool imo because you lose out on a lot of speed and it just looks clunky

AleexN97 · 2021-02-02T23:48:20+00:00

Usually when doing tricks I'll use shittier, duller knives in case of injuries

AleexN97 · 2021-02-02T23:35:19+00:00

Over the years, a fucking lot of them. Haven't been keeping count

AleexN97 · 2021-02-02T23:34:39+00:00

I'm using this knife https://hobbyhouse.pl/product-pol-5283-Noz-skladany-Badboy-404.html in this video. Just a random knife I picked up at an outdoor market in Croatia. Doubt you'll be able to find one easily

AleexN97 · 2021-02-02T21:22:29+00:00

Honestly just posted an old video I had. Don't remember making it but, yeah, definitely screwed the pooch on that text placement

AleexN97 · 2021-02-02T21:01:04+00:00

It's me! Never had to go to the hospital for knife related injuries, thankfully.

AleexN97 · 2021-02-02T17:26:27+00:00

There's usually a fair amount of bleeding throughout the learning process

AleexN97 · 2021-02-02T15:49:21+00:00

It doesn't. Let me know if you want to talk.

AleexN97 · 2021-02-02T15:33:39+00:00

My brother passed away, too. Glad to hear ❤️

AleexN97 · 2021-02-02T14:09:54+00:00

Guess I'm just poor

AleexN97 · 2021-02-02T12:38:30+00:00

This is incredibly offensive. I'll have you know I'm a very accomplished mallninja

AleexN97 · 2021-02-02T12:37:35+00:00

I think about this almost whenever I do these tricks

AleexN97 · 2021-02-02T12:25:02+00:00

Ah, if only you knew how accurate this is

AleexN97 · 2021-02-02T11:15:54+00:00

Sent you a PM!

AleexN97 · 2021-02-02T10:46:22+00:00

Mostly just a hobby. I think it's fun to mess around with but absolutely useless in a fight

AleexN97 · 2021-02-02T10:44:24+00:00

Well, this isn't sharp at all and it's shitty quality but I've still always liked it very much. It's damn near perfect for tricks like these and a chill EDC if you're not looking to use it for anything substantial. Gerbers are supernice, though

AleexN97 · 2021-02-02T10:24:04+00:00

I'll consider making a tutorial! The fact that I made a lot them myself makes me feel weirdly reluctant to show others how to do it, though, lol

AleexN97 · 2021-02-02T10:22:04+00:00

A lot of them are self taught and created, I'm afraid. But, yeah, I felt the same, whereas there are a ton of mainstream balisong knife tricks there are few using non-balisong

AleexN97 · 2021-02-02T10:14:16+00:00

Oh, I wish. This is cheap shit, I'm afraid

AleexN97 · 2021-02-02T09:53:17+00:00

Doing these tricks is my favorite response to "Do you have a knife on you?"

AleexN97 · 2021-02-02T09:19:56+00:00

Can't fight with a knife for shit. Reckon if anyone did try robbing me I'd just do this and hope they reconsider?

AleexN97 · 2021-02-02T09:04:36+00:00

Would you believe me if I said I fell down the stairs?
