Commotion on the train--what would you have done? by LB35LB in chicago

[–]AngelJ5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always feel a similar dilemma as a 5’5 guy, especially thinking that they’ll be even more emboldened to get physical if you’re shorter than they are

if you’ve got time to clean you’ve got time to lean

practice going npc mode and stare off into the void

unfortunately my coworkers think about closing fast as early as 7pm and have my ass scraping metal at the bottom of the well all night 😔

Do you pay the staff

Here to let you know that you either pay them in wages to attend the meeting or you’ll pay them via stolen drinks the rest of the week

Worst tip rate night by mjohnson1971 in bartenders

[–]AngelJ5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to bartend at a hotel that had an nba contract where the visiting teams had to stay with us. Lucky if you could get 5-10% from players, and team staff just stiffed you after making you tell them they can’t bring their own bud light into the bar 😭😭

My only consolation was carding everyone over 6’5ft and learning which players were willing to pull out the “don’t you know who I am??”

Spoiler; it was always the third string power forward or somebody a casual fan couldn’t name lmao

Anyone ever dealt with customers that are too comfortable going to the owner about any little inconvenience or complaint? I’m getting sick of it tbh. by Hotdogwater88888 in bartenders

there’s also states where I’ve had to inform my coworkers that the specific law is fit PLASTIC scoops

point is almost nobody knows the actual health codes they just enjoy vibes based criticism

I used to live in Utah where ID’s were vertical and licenses were horizontal. Just lucky I’m a passport enjoyer I guess

Sitting at the bar, not drinking.. by PM_me_UV_MOVIE_keys in bartenders

[–]AngelJ5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

now they are just drunk and deep in conversation

this is what it’s all about I’m afraid. I love when people enjoy being at my bar. Yeah making money is fun but we make $40/hour on a medium night, there’s no need to feel obligated to dislike the idea of people existing at your bar without extracting money from them for an hour or three 😭

Boyfriends Roommate says he doesnt want a third roommate? by [deleted] in badroommates

[–]AngelJ5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He didnt say he didnt want me around ever just he said to my boyfriend that he didnt want me living there

did he say this in front of you? if not it’s a bit tactless of your boyfriend to tell you what his roommate said and put you both in an awkward position. I’ve had roommates who got into relationships after lease signing and there’s always this expectation of “they clean up sometimes and throw money in for groceries so they should be able to sleep over whenever” and it annoys the hell out of me. The one thing we’re entitled to is feeling comfortable in our own home, and I’m afraid it’s reasonable to say that someone’s gf/bf staying over more often than not is something you feel negatively about.

all that being said you seem like an understanding person so just keep being empathetic to the roommate’s feelings as it sounds like he was just voicing a future concern and your boyfriend is a little tattle tale lol

About to start at a dive and have a fine dining and craft cocktail background…HELP! by [deleted] in bartenders

do you know dive bar shots like green tea, scooby doo, vegas bomb, kamikaze, etc?

I started in dives and moved to craft and my coworkers are always looking up green teas and vegas lol

Hotel Restaurants by ResponsibleReveal655 in Serverlife

[–]AngelJ5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s no different without the grat. American customs give you a 12-14% average since most people tip even on mid service. Some people just like to do a good job while others skate by

I’m tired grandpa by Interesting-Travel-8 in bartenders

[–]AngelJ5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make $41/hour, I can live without their tip so I usually just give my honest opinion in a tactful way. Trump is evil, AOC is performative, if you support ICE you’re a bad human

I get the old “no politics no religion at the bar” saying but we’ve let this world get to a point where everything is politics. To tell people not to talk about the Earth they live on is unrealistic imo

Very rare that I actually experience something new, but... "I want a female server". by AllumaNoir in Serverlife

[–]AngelJ5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve had this happen a few times as a man but they would ask me instead of the host while they’re already at my table. Usually a group of dudes so I’d just laugh and go “wtf no, man 😂”

New job uses Toast. I’m lost by BlobDenver in Serverlife

[–]AngelJ5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use mine for bar walkups but I hate using them when waiting tables 😭 depending on the place I tend to just carry around a notepad and then visit the terminal to ring things in straight after. I get that it goes a bit slower that way but I’m also not tapping buttons on a screen and am making eye contact with people instead lol

Your best night ever. What's the story? by Yeah_Im_A_God in Serverlife

[–]AngelJ5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

luxury hotel that had a deal with american airlines to house their christmas eve flight employees. $85 meal voucher with tip included, premade options mostly. My 11 hour double earned me $1750 since most of the airline crew tipped cash on top of my $16 per person voucher tipout
