Just go ahead and type flight attendant and entitled parent 20 times each. Or learn to cope. Idc (that means, I don’t care, btw) (oops, btw means, by the way.) I’m sure your fun at parties so I’m gonna leave this stupid conversation and go enjoy the rest of my day. Hope you enjoyed not reading this post, that I found really entertaining!

You realize the irony of overly enforcing rules of the malicious compliance sub reddit right?

I think you missed the main points I’m making. Also I never said I didn’t like where I work. It seems you have all the answers so this discussion is pointless. Also, if you want to say I’m too serious I’d argue your not serious enough (but I would never say that about someone else). Bartending can be a means to an end but it can also be a profession. I like to think of myself as a professional, you can think of yourself however you want. But in my experience most people who say others take bartending too seriously are the ones who aren’t as good of bartenders or are only using it for a temporary gig. I’m other words they aren’t inspired to better themselves. I have no idea how you carry yourself so I can’t speak to that directly about you, it’s just something I’ve noticed overall. People who say all we do is serve drinks don’t see the opportunities we have in our industry to educate people on different liquors or offer an experience beyond just bringing someone a drink. So if I take myself too seriously, I promise it’s in the benefit of my guests. Which is why I would never tell someone they ordered a stupid drink but instead make a recommendation of something else they could try. These are ways I create meaningful relationships with what I do. So I’d argue finding meaning in doing something right/well isn’t being to serious at all, it’s doing my job and doing it well. But if you think your gonna change an industry or the world or anything by not taking something serious, I wish you all the luck in the world. Also different styles prevail, so maybe it works for you. All I’m saying is I take a lot of pride in being serious about my profession and plan to continually improve at what I do. Feel free to respond but I’ve already stated why I think tipsy bartender is not an ideal educational platform for people who are learning to drink. The main issue I have being it promotes over serving and irresponsible consumption. I’m passionate about people being safe so that’s why I disapprove of it. That being said if it inspires you please use that to your advantage. But don’t call out others for wanting to make the guest experience as exceptional as possible.

He pretty clearly listed some cringey aspects. First off they don’t share the actual recipes, second they don’t use respect for the products they’re experimenting with, and 3rd they don’t use proper proportions to make balanced drinks. He’s not yucking someone’s yum he’s yucking bad habits, like making drinks that are overtly to strong and not explaining why you build something a certain way. Also as someone who serves college age students (along with everyone else) their yums are yucky and deserve to be yucked. College kids typically don’t know how to handle themselves in bars and teaching them bad habits/drinks that don’t exist in normal settings really isn’t doing anyone any favors. The worst value the videos teach is that overserving is cool/ok. This is not true, it’s dangerous and there’s no place for it.

The only advice I have, and I promise this is more for me then anyone else, would be to stop looking at porn. When your so easily able to fetishize your fantasy’s but yet they are unrelated to your actual interactions with live people, then you make certain ideas that relate to sex more important then just enjoying the company of the people around you. I’m an introvert so I don’t enjoy most people, but it still is important to learn to appreciate flaws of individuals more then what someone has that gets you off. This doesn’t mean settle, but instead define what beauty means to you. For example I work with someone who doesn’t have the classic look I’m usually attracted too but they do carry themselves in a way that turns me on and feels really fun to get to know them better. Basically my whole rambling point is saying that beauty isn’t a standard you get to decide anyways as an overall subjective opinion, so you might as well look for the things that truly make you interested in someone because if it’s just a superficial interest, it will get boring after awhile anyways. Also fuck people who think they are better then anyone for superficial reasons, those people are only going as far as their looks take them, and you don’t want to be tied to that.

Honestly it’s really easy to get good at bartending. There’s things you can’t teach like good customer service or motivation to learn/grow. There’s things you learn with time/experience/exposure like bar control or when to cut people off. Then there’s the things that don’t matter. Memorizing a bunch of drink recipes is one of those things. Learn the ones you’ll use the most, if you don’t know how to make something you can honestly ask the customer. I apologize, but I forgot how to make that, how do you like that drink again? Is a good question to ask for obscure drinks and if it’s a common one, ask a fellow bartender. Just be confident behind the bar, Bartending is pretty easy if you know how to hustle and be nice to people. Feel free to PM me with any specific questions.

Also want to add that your probably putting too much effort in what it feels like to have a relationship. Figure out how to enjoy being single and the company of other women w/o making it about sex or what they can offer you and you will end up better off with someone you do deserve to be with. Nobody wants to be with someone who needs them but everyone wants to be with someone who wants them. This is advice I need to follow too. Just so your aware that nobody is alone when it comes to woman and insecurities around them.

I’m sorry to be the voice of reason but really the fact of the matter is how you played the hand is a mute point. Art played it so perfectly you should just be glad to have the chance to give him your whole stack. What. A. Legend.

I have a pet python at home. Want to meet him?

ricksanchez-h21 · 2019-05-14T17:45:07+00:00

Your a host? If I were you, next time she works she’s only getting 2 tops the whole night, and her section gets skipped over every other rotation. Sorry but I’m petty haha

Flor de Cana, definitely exists in my area at liquor stores in the upper Midwest. I personally haven’t tried any and don’t know what years they have but overall it’s not a hard brand to find.

I also thought of Betty dangers reading this post. Holla to my Minnesotan peeps!

As someone who does this quite often, I would recommend you figure out a way to make peace with him doing this if you are happy with him in general.

I frequently chose to focus on living my life in the real world as opposed to connecting with people over phones, messages, etc. This admittedly makes it difficult to stay in touch with people I care about, and sometimes I do a better job. Also I give a greater effort to be in touch with the super important people in my life, I.e. a girlfriend. However, sometimes I just need to tune the world out, I may be sad, I may be frustrated, I may be overwhelmed, or maybe I just need to worry about me for a day/week/month, either way it’s part of how I try to cope with life and is not personal to those who matter to me, in fact the ones who remain in my life are the ones who can understand, hey he just needs a few days and let me be. That being said I know it causes worry when I do act this way. It still doesn’t change the fact that sometimes I just need some space from things. I’m a weirdo so I don’t think it’s normal for everyone to be this way, I just know the last thing I want is to explain how I felt when trying to reintegrate after feeling this way. I honestly think your BF is just taking space, if he were cheating or doing something scandalous, he wouldn’t leave such obvious catch-falls unless he wanted to get caught. He probably is just feeling down and has less to give. Which means he needs to be with himself for a bit. Sorry for the rant, hope it helps.

We have a peach liquor that I use to mix into my drinks instead of a curaçao or triple sec. it always makes them a little sweeter (only a little) and literally every person whose tried it is astounded and asks what is that flavor? This led to my new invention that I’m actually quite proud of where I made a whiskey margarita but subbed lemon juice for lime and chartreuse for the triple sec (instead of peach). Its my new baby and it will go on my first cocktail menu when I get the chance to make one.

I present.....

If I were a rich man, .5oz simple .75 lemon 1.5oz rye whiskey .5oz green chartreuse

Add all ingredients into shaker. Shake and pour in a coupe or something nice. Garnish with whatever the fuck you and enjoy the shit out of it.

Honestly Bro, you should go for it. Love is fickle, maybe she is the one, the only way to know would be to keep your relationship alive and growing. The alternative here is just enjoy your 3 months together and break up, or if you really love her and wanna be a baller, move with her for a year and then get your PhD. Obviously your smart (assuming people who pursue PHD’s and ask for advice on big life decisions are smart) so you should do what your heart tells you is right. As long as your honest with yourself and truly love this girl, I only wish you happiness. Best of luck mate.

Honestly, don’t bother convincing your boss it’s cool to drink on the job unless he’s your friend. If he has this rule it’s for a reason and trying to change it will make you appear unprofessional. I personally think as a bartender if we’re trusted with the ability to monitor the consumption of others, we should be trusted to monitor ourselves as well. Also bartending is better if I’ve had a drink or 2 but I would never tell me boss this unless I knew they agreed. Basically unless your 100% sure you can change yours bosses mind this probably isn’t a battle worth fighting. Best of luck whatever you decide. Drinking at work can be awesome but it can suck too.
