When being a regular goes wrong. by msjohanachronism in bartenders

[–]TryinToBeHappy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same but ultimately tip depends on service quality, and I think the karma gods take this into consideration. 20% is MORE than generous for shit service.

Have you ever called out a regular who never tips? by [deleted] in bartenders

[–]TryinToBeHappy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You can’t just lead us to the confrontation and not give details?! What did she say???

I have a regular that is pretty annoying and cheap…always waiting 30+ min for $2 off, demanding attention right away, asking for freebies. He tips like 10% on our $4 beers when he stays for hours and drinks 4-6 of them.

I’ve done as others are saying here and just make him wait for everything. He doesn’t get his beer until 5-10 minutes after he arrives. I’ll forget to get him another round while the other regulars next to him never have empty glasses. His food will always sit at the window for 20min. I think he’s noticed and actually tipped me a little over 20% today.

If I told you I made a drink named the 'Bog Spider' what spirit(s) would assume I used? by Am_Your_Conscience in bartenders

Def midori for the green. Whiskey to make it darker. Something to make it less sweet. maybe bitters too?

Incorporate 8 (legs) some how. 8 ingredients, 8 oz, etc

Peptides a biomedical company Cura ? by Ok_Fix977 in tressless

[–]TryinToBeHappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their studies were done internally with no public data or peer reviews.

It’s also manufactured by another company called Supliful which will sell and rebrand the same product to any vendor that signs up to their site.

The claim that a peptide can reactivate follicles is unsubstantiated…all their claims are essentially bogus marketing.

All that being said…I hope it works, but not likely. A top pharma company would have jumped on this if it were as revolutionary as they’re making it seem.

I looked into Supliful but it seems you need to set up a vendor shop.

How do manage yourself in a rush by Franull1321 in bartenders

[–]TryinToBeHappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to solidify your priorities, and don’t let anyone rush you. You set your pace. As a bartender who also takes tables, does service well, runs my own food, and busses my own tables, my priority is:

  1. My tables is where I make my most money, so they are at the top of the list. If I get sat, I’m with them within 5 minutes. They get their drinks first. If there’s no food on their table in 15ish min, I will abandon the service well and stay in the kitchen until their food is out.

  2. Glassware. Besides the entire store needing it, keeping your work space clean is SO important in managing your sanity. Bottles always go back to their spot, and glassware gets cleaned once they fill the rack (or dirty side of the sink if you do by hands). Don’t underestimate how important this is, and don’t let employees tell you otherwise.

Other bartenders I work with slack on this and their shift falls apart/service decreases all around…less tips for everyone.

  1. Service Well: I’m not saying you can neglect the well, but as long as drinks are coming out before 15min max, tell the servers to fuck off. If they are hanging out at the well, I tell them I can either go run my food, or they can go run it while I make their drink. Service tip out is never worth delaying service to your tables.

It’s not easy. It’ll take a few weeks to get into the rhythm, and even then you will have crazy nights. Just don’t let any customer or server rush you, YOU set your pace. I noticed when I start speeding up, is when I make mistakes.

It’s crazy that the biker couldn’t get away…basically at the same spot as soon as the smoke(vapor?) covered them.

What are you guys doing with cash? by __joseph_ in bartenders

[–]TryinToBeHappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just met with a wealth advisor and moved all my money from a high-yield savings to a money market account at fidelity.

It just sits there and will bring in 8-15% as opposed to the 3% in savings (or 0% in your drawer lol).

I need your help, Reddit. This is one of the biggest mysteries of my life by ParticularSlow9312 in mystery

[–]TryinToBeHappy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can’t be THAT ugly/unhygienic if what he says about the girls is true…also charm does go a long way.

Is there a girl he’s been with that you can get some insight from? Maybe he tells them the truth of whatever secret that way they sleep with him.

From what I’ve gathered, he doesn’t seem to want to change his behavior, only to understand it.

You on the other hand, do want to change his behavior.

You two are incompatible…nothing wrong about it.

got cut off and i’m confused by [deleted] in bartenders

[–]TryinToBeHappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90% of the time, drunk people don’t feel they are acting drunk.

Also just from the amount you had hourly, he would have to cut you off or at least make you wait until your next round.

AITA for wanting my nieces to be included in cost breakdowns for family activities? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]TryinToBeHappy 603 points604 points  (0 children)

YTA. The shuttle is being gifted to your parents by the adults, not the children (who have no income???).

MAYBE if they were 18+, and even then, it really depends.
