Subject: I got a job as a bartender but help me out please
From: Carson

Ok, I got a job at a bar with no experience...I walked in and they hired me on 
the spot.  I guess I am lucky.  Well...the thing is this bar/club is in South 
Carolina and south carolina is the only state that uses mini bottles as it is 
illegal to free pour!  So I guess my question is has anyone ever dealt with 
this and what the hell do i do with drinks that call for a 1/2 once of 
something or other?  I asked a bartender there and he said to pour the whole 
mini in the drink...so say if it was a white russian, i use 2 minibottles, 
kahlua and vodka, and of course cream...but like in a cosmo which needs a dash 
of cointreau(sp?), what am i supposed to do in that situation...well...they 
don't even carry it so that doesnt really matter but you get the idea.  
Atleast I got lucky and am getting experience...when i go back home to philly 
in the summer thye are free pour and i can learn that way too.

my questions:
how do i get around the minibottle problem?

and any other tips or comments you have.

BTW i am a 21/m

thanks.

How do I pour? What is 'cl', 'oz' and 'pt'? How should I handle glassware?.
