=============================================================================

I responded to this a week ago but I guess it didn't go through.
So I'll say it again.

Most bartenders want high volume for the bigger tips/money.
BUT NOT ALL BARTENDERS WANT THIS.
Particularly us beginners - we want a slow to medium paced bar where we can
learn and break in comfortably.

I remember at bartending school, several of us were talking about the
perfect job we were seeking - just a mellow bar where we only had to
make a 5-10 drinks an hour and in between just chat with the customers.

Unfortunately my job is just the opposite.
When I'm not making drinks, I am either serving food, bussing dishes,
or doing barback stuff.  There's no time for chat and relaxation.
Oh well.  I'll see how long I go.

John
