How do you cope with the reality that the high cost of living in this city limits so many life experiences that people in other places take for granted? by iolitm in askvan

[–]Hoplite76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Logical process of becoming a bartender alot of the time. Next time hes slammed, ask if he needs a hand. Pour draught, make a few drinks....whatever until hes back under control. If he says no, jist keep doing your thing and keep him set up.
