OK, Kent. How did the salt and sugar change. If I wanted to cut you down
you would still be bleeding. Remember this young man, I used more knowledge
about tending bar last week than you curently possess. If you can't take some
good natured ribbing, what's going to happen when you get some real heckling?
Tending bar is not memorizing tomes of recipes. If you want to make money it
is a fast paced, quick witted world out there. If you can't keep up you get
eaten up. If you lived out here I would probably give you a try. You seem
motivated and knowledegable, and if you possess the physical and mental
endurance, I could probably turn you into a barender in two years. Here are
some questions about school that I would liketo know if they addressed:
Did they teach you how to cleam up vomit?
Did you learn how to burn your ice and replace it in the middle of the rush
because of broken glass?
Can you change the toilet paper in the restrooms in the middle of the rush?
How do you break up a spousal brawl?
Can you choke someone out that is going after the other bartender because he
cut him off incorrectly?
How quick can you change a keg that's thirty feet away?
What's the difference between a European head, and a Sankey head.
What's the difference between the size of European 1/2 kegs,American 1/2 Kegs,
and Wine 1/2 kegs, in ounces?
How do you clean a blender motor?
How do you replace the cluch? (the little rubber wheel that drives the blender
blades)
Did they teach you multi-tasking?
How do you get food, wine, stains out of your whites.
Here's a little hint you can use coffee to cover up light colered stains on
your blacks.
Did they teach you to clean and apply polish to the stiching on your shoes, or
it rots.
How about lime rot? (it's actually a yeast infection under your fingernails)
Do you know where the mop is? (The pregnant ladies water just broke)
What do you do if some points a gun at you? (before you get the mop)
Remember keep smiling. Bartending is all about humor. If you can't laugh
at your mistakes this is going to be a real hard job for you...
Phillip.
