Opinion questions...
Okay gang, I started a new job last week at a busy
techno/dance/strictly-over-21 club, and I have a couple questions. I've had a
lot of bartending experience, but even on my first Friday night, of course I'm
going to be a bit loopy with the register and finding out where things are.
The bar is massive - it has 4 stations: 4 sets of liquor, 4 registers, 4 wash
sinks, etc. My only problem is - the other tenders definitely look down on
me. All two of them. I can understand a bit of animosity toward the new
girl, but being downright mean isn't really called for, I don't think. the
girl I worked with repeatedly made snide comments, ignored my questions, and
threw a fit when I misrang something on the register. Trust me, I know how to
do my job, I usually work well with others (I keep out of their way if they
stay out of mine...you know how important that is when there's three of you
behind a bar), I'm honest, and usually quite friendly. I really like this
job, but I don't want to be the outcast anymore, and i can't figure out why I
am in the first place. Does this usually go on at most places? I've never
encountered such animosity toward the new girl in my life! Maybe I've just
been lucky. But, do you guys have any tips on how to keep loving the club and
having a great time without feeling like the gunk on the bottom of speedrail?
ANother one: A guest asked me for a "Vox Cosmopolitan, Martini No Vermouth".
I assumed that he meant a vox cosmo, AND a Martini no vermouth. as it turned
out, he just wanted a cosmo made with vox. And I got yelled at for wasting
alcohol when i should have realized what he meant. Was I wrong? For the life
of me, I thought I understood him correctly...
Coping as the new girl...
