The owners wife used to come and "help" me when we were really busy.
Tottering round behind the bar in her high heels with a glass of champagne
either in her hand or inevitably in the direct path of wherever my hand was
reaching for a bottle next. She'd take an order from a customer then stop me
whatever i was doing to ask where stuff was, what glass does this go in and to
tell me that this guy wants six cocktails so could i make them next. Never
mind that i'd just said to someone else i'd be with them next.
I had to diplomatically request one night that she was much more use to me
mingling and chatting to the regulars and if she saw any empty glasses on
tables while she was up...
The only request ever from the owner was "large grouse please."
