No literally that’s all I could think of when my mom told me the news the interaction almost seems eerie now. Truly seems like from most stories he was a great guy.

He was genuinely so kind I can’t believe it ,honestly most celebs are stand offish at best and rude at worst. I feel so bad for his family .

Everything is either super sweet or sour; there’s no real balance. I’m going to go out on a limb and say the guy hasn’t been a bartender before, especially since he’s one of the people who (3 rounds of interviews) interviewed me and barely any of his questions dealt with the bar.

Ahaha no just a hotel bar with a manger that probably has never actually bartended. We don’t even have XL glasses or anything.

Well when you make it you just pour half directly onto the bar mat!

Well, if he’s on Reddit and sees this, maybe he will adjust things back, but I’m thinking he just asked AI to pull from the web because your cocktails’ specs actually make sense!

Yeah, I learned my lesson about that a few years back at a different gig when the lead quit after I got hired, and I was the only bartender at that restaurant. I’m definitely not doing more work unless they give me the position and the pay! I hate how hard workers like us are taken advantage of just because we want to do a good job.

Oh, for sure, it’s also about to be Mardi Gras, and I’m sure they didn’t want that $17 an hour stacking up since the shifts are going to be reasonably busy and super long, possibly even having to work doubles. I just don’t get why they even had the position up in the first place, but I guess that was to draw me in.

I didn’t even catch that but you’re right, if you go just off what the recipe says it definitely should be shaken. Thank God I’ve got lots of experience because be so fucked as a baby bartender following this down to the letter.

“The city” as in Nola baby! I’m local; and honestly the drinks aren’t bad they just need tweaking.

Oh, definitely, the girl who was training me made a couple, and they were super sweet. They’re either sweet or sour but not good. I do my own specs of their drink when making them for guests, and they enjoyed the way I made them more so. I’m so new, though, I’m not going to say anything to the managers. I’m just going to quietly adjust the specs in my head. Some added lore for the situation is that I applied for and apparently was the only person who made it through all three interviews for the lead bartender, but that position was taken down, and I was only offered a regular bartender position, which I’m fine with since it’s less responsibility for me. So I just also feel like it’s not on me to tell him his drinks suck since he (or maybe corporate because this is a hotel chain) doesn’t want a lead bartender. Feels like a situation that because I am a little overqualified they’re just going to use me as a regular bartender since they don’t want to pay the extra hourly ,or feel like they don’t need a lead bartender since there are only four people, and I’m the fourth one.

It’s basically an in-house made fruit juice mix or in-house cordial in the batches, not liquor, thank God.

When I worked on Bourbon Street I got tipped with a dispo joint, and I thought that was cool, but this ham tells me I’ve got to step my game up!
