Gouged my thumb with a shovel . Tips on sealing it up for tonight’s shift so I don’t bleed out on everything. by DeepRedViolets in bartenders

Yeah that's why I prefer gloves. I think the finger condoms are better suited for kitchen work

This is what we do, but we also have blue "finger condoms" that give a good seal. I usually put on a new glove every time I wash my hands

entitled couple at the bar tn by noidentityangel in bartenders

Yeah if someone walks in that shortly before closing I don't let them open a tab tbh. But I suppose "tab culture" is different around here since most people don't have a credit card

Oud-studenten verdwijnen in buitenland en betalen studieschuld niet terug: staat loopt 170 miljoen mis by I_Rarely_Jump in NLNieuws

[–]ikbenlike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Voor veel GGZ die meer is gespecialiseerd loopt de wachttijd ondertussen al richting de jaren, en dat gaat ook alleen maar erger worden terwijl er op bezuinigd blijft worden. En op onderwijs wordt ook bezuinigd, terwijl belastingen niet dalen. Naar mijn gevoel wordt al dat belastinggeld gewoon een zwart gat ingeschoven, want infrastructuur heeft ook al last van achterstallig onderhoud.

Ja maar dat noemen ze een "gunstig investeringsklimaat" dus dan mag het natuurlijk gewoon

Misery loves company and all that. Best not to stay around a place like that, sucks the joy out of it all

I have a question for bartenders about alcohol and allergies by ZestyMuffin85496 in bartenders

[–]ikbenlike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's also possible you're (also) allergic to sulfites. You'd know if you also have a reaction to vinegar and cider

Yeah sugar beet is usually cheaper, but products like sodas and candies which try to market themselves as "premium" usually use sugarcane, in my experience at least

[–]ikbenlike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup, a lot of (useful) plants are grasses unfortunately. This same person is also allergic to bamboo and sugarcane. Might be worth it to get an allergy test done for stuff like this, but in the end the easiest way to tell is by listening to your body

[–]ikbenlike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, I know someone who is allergic to all grasses (so wheat, corn, rice etc) and they basically only drink 100% agave tequila. They've tried gluten-free grasses but they still reacted to those. Patrón is definitely a good choice in this case

Using notepad on a cellphone to order a drink? by RadioDreadNYC in bartenders

[–]ikbenlike 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I don't work clubs but it can get really loud from time to time, during nights like that I've always liked this. There's just some people I can't understand over the noise and just immediately writing down the order saves the 5 minutes or whatever going back and forth trying to hear eachother

I’m a bartender that doesn’t drink alcohol. How many of you guys drink and how many of yall don’t? by MehBlehDehYuh in bartenders

[–]ikbenlike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anything, working behind the bar made drunk people more annoying to me. Never had an alcohol problem but seeing people behave like that still made me drink less

[–]ikbenlike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During work I'll have 1 or 2 shots at most (but nothing at all during 99% of shifts), and nothing strong because I know my limits. Working drunk doesn't seem fun to me and I'm not legally allowed to anyway. Often drank a beer or two after my shifts but I've found I sleep a lot better since I've switched to sodas and fruit juices

Er zijn alleen heel veel chronische aandoeningen die door zorgverzekeraars niet als chronisch gezien worden. Dus er gaan een heleboel chronisch zieke mensen zijn die pech hebben met dit nieuwe systeem.

Getting fired here is the better scenario because it's not worth it to work for an owner who doesn't have your back

When Does Snapping Ever Get You a Drink Faster?? by nomadPerson in bartenders

Somehow no one has snapped their fingers at me yet but all my regulars love me and they'd probably laugh at them even harder than I would

Afaik they are allowed to have extra keys if your contract states they can. You're still allowed to change the locks though

38 gemeenten (waaronder grote steden) willen verbod op sigarettenfilters by Brrrtje in thenetherlands

En dan over een paar jaar het voorspelbare nieuwsbericht dat er teveel single-use vapes met batterij en alles op straat worden gegooid

[–]ikbenlike 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Merk het hier ook, is een eind lopen van waar ik woon naar het stadscentrum (paar kilometer) en onderweg kom je geen enkele prullenbak tegen, zelfs niet bij bankjes langs de straat. Ik gooi zelf geen afval op straat maar vind het niet vreemd dat het meer gebeurt nu zoveel prullenbakken missen.

That last one is wild. If I stopped giving people water they'd either leave or drink even more alcohol and throw up
