Hey guys. And gals.
I'm really interested in getting into bar service, I think I have what it
takes to be a fucking great bartender, at least from what I've read, but
mostly from my experience at bars.
I want to apply as a barback at a bunch of places around Walnut Creek, CA, to
get a foot in a door. I've got some friends I know who work at the bars, and
might be able to help me get in.
I'm 6'7" 200 lbs, in really great physical shape, water polo player, so I've
got some broad ass shoulders. I'm a big guy. However, I'm not clumsy or slow
in any sense. I'm quick, active, and sharp.
My question; Will the sheer factor of my size hinder me from getting a job
behind a bar? I've been to many a bar, and haven't ever seen someone of my
stature. In fact, bartenders/backs are typically pretty small people.
What do you guys think? WIll I just get in the way?
Thanks much for your feedback.
