Subject: I'm A Bar-back!!!
From: Dallas
Posted: Thu Feb 2. 2006, 22:58 UTC
Greetings everyone,

Last Friday, I mailed 16 letters with a photograph to bars/nightclubs/lounges 
here in Ann Arbor, MI.

The next day, I got an offer to work the 9 p.m- 3:00 A.M shift.  Very busy, 
but nothing I couldn't handle.  

The place is called the "Millenium Club".  A big establishment with 4 bars on 
3 floors.  Big crowds, live music.  The owner seems nice, and the staff was 
helpful.  They've asked me to come back this Saturday same time.

The hourly pay is $10.00 hour to start + tips.  For 6.5 hours of work last 
Saturday, I made $112.00 (65 from hourly, 47 from tips)

I'm very cautious about this recent success.  I want to work very hard, be 
humble, and be thankful.  In no way will I get a big head over this.

But does anyone have any advice/ tips?  Things to beware of, things to be 
happy/sad about?  The right attitude to have being the newbie bar-back?

Thanks so much!!!

Lavafish.
