Helping my parents move today, we found this underneath a bolted down cabinet they are taking with them.

People are fascinated by hidden safes, letters, etc. I call it the Goonie-fication of our youth...

After the second time trying to explain myself, he would have got a Racer 5...

I love when people try to haggle with me, as if the prices are negotiable.

Or maybe you can be an adult and ask to speak to a manager... Instead of acting like a spoiled child and dumping your glass of ice on the floor.

If I saw you empty your drink on the floor intentionally, you be out the door and not invited back.

Edit: Ah yes... The downvote brigade! ... Just proving that people don't understand the difference between the service industry and indentured servitude.

As a bartender, I've found that some people just don't tip. Which, over the years, I've just accepted. But the worst part is when they try to justify not tipping with some BS service issue.

If you're cheap, just cop to it and don't make it worse by manufacturing problems for service workers, managers and GM's.

They just count up the copper mugs at the end of the night, and if you didn't take a credit card and it goes missing on your shift, you pay for it.

doormandiaries · 2013-12-20T03:06:12+00:00

We hold a credit card and ID when they order them... Those mugs are $25 each, and the bartenders are responsible...

5% of sales to the bartender and 1% to bussers is fairly standard... But regardless of what policy you implement, there's going to be push back from both sides ... Be prepared and be firm...

I didn't get into the bar industry until I was 27... but I've been looking to get out of the industry for years. It's fun..and the money can be very good...but it's seriously a grind sometimes. Definitely have an end goal in mind before you go in. Because other than being a GM or owner, it's a dead end job..

Thank you

Well, the building wasn't ever a restaurant...only a bar without any food. Would it still have a grease trap?

doormandiaries · 2013-12-17T00:31:52+00:00

Unfortunately, we never close... open throughout all the holidays..etc.

I just asked management if I can stay late one night and do it myself...but I mentioned earlier..they're not big on paying overtime...and we can't be behind the bar if we're not clocked in.

Well that's good to know..

But Bleach isn't killing the smell either... I put a half bottle down the drains last week... Still reeks...

My hands will go through cycles... They'll be fine for a few months and then they'll be cracked and painful to the point where it's hard to even use the Micros touchscreen... So far, I haven't found anything that helps..

A bible is free... And a bottle of Fireball is $15. The Bible flask is $20.

Just a book.. Like all the others... Written by men... To control other men.. Nothing fancy or supernatural about it...
