You'll make better money as a cashier, with that attitude. Good bartenders,
by nature, are cordial, friendly, outgoing, and at least mildly entertaining.
If you don't have an upbeat attitude, you won't go far.
And I've been bartending for two years, and I'm still learning. And I'm sure
the others on this boad who have been doing it for many more years than I are
still learning, as well. Two weeks, psshht.
