I never barbacked, but have had the pleasure to work with some of the most
unbelievably great barbacks over the years. Guys that go above and beyond
their duties to make sure the bar runs smoothly. Guys that spend 10 straight
hours lifting hundreds of cases of beer/booze in 100 degree heat. Always
there with a back up liquor bottle when they see mine is getting low. The list
goes on.
Many bartenders ive worked with take them for granted, but a good barback is
like gold to me.
