The tanks are for the speed gun (soda, Coke, etc..) And I'm supposed to change 
them when they get down too low. I wouldn't too much have a problem with it if 
I were the main bartender there, but oh well. And to comment on your "other 
possibility" scenario....you're absolutely right! It's a bit frustrating 
working there because I'm a white guy and it's a Persian-cuisine 
restaurant/bar. So I am currently the only non-Persian person working there, 
which seems to be my downfall. (For that matter, I am the only one there 
without a thick accent) What I mean is, I work circles around the other 
bartender that's there, but I catch more flack when something goes wrong. Boss 
man knew I was inexperienced but has made it a point to actually reprimand me 
not only in front of other employees, but patrons as well, but he has no 
problem with his other bartender drinking while on duty. But because I want to 
gain experience, I have been biting my lip and not saying anything about it. 
What bugs me even more than that is when I KNOW he's talking about me to 
someone else, but doing it in his language. Anyhoo, thank you for your 
response, and I welcome any other replies. Thanks in advance
