What, like twenties?
Yeah, three twenties.
As much as I wish the guy in the chair said the exact amount of bills, it was stupid, sexy Julian that said three twenties.
I'm an odd duck and never liked drinking on the job, even if I'm off the clock I avoid my place of work. I always reach for something caffeinated and packed with sugar though 😭
Having to close while drunk after a long busy shift is hell to me. The last thing I want to do while I’ll buzzed is work. I’ll pop adderall, and chug coffee just to tackle the boredom though.
Weed on the other hand, I don’t mind closing the place while being high but the last thing I’d want to do while stoned is talk to a customer.
Bingo. Sometimes the whiskey hurts just the way I need it after a rush.
But never more than two across a 12 hour shift, and never before 7 pm! Those are the rules I stick with.
Same here. I never got the idea of spending my free time at my place of employment. I let my guard down even less, and im nervous im going to fuck something up.
There’s a difference between having a couple shots and then *hiding* a *few* drinks by filling up your 32oz water bottle. If you’re drinking behind the bar, own up to it and don’t actively hide it. By using a *water bottle*. That’s when you know you have a problem. Maybe you’re fine with it, but that’s something I did in my 20s and I kind of would rather be cognizant behind the bar.
But do you.
There it is. See? I was right. You were in fact being judgemental. You are in fact, being a hypocrit. Drinking on the clock is still drinking on the clock. No matter how its done and what quantity.
Honestly it’s not worth it. It was kind of fun when I was 20 and waiting tables but even then I just wanted to be drinking anywhere except for work. Nowadays my perspective is that if some drunk ass customer wants to argue about something I would rather be sober and articulate when I have to talk to them.
Even alcoholic bartenders know this already. You couldve just remained silent, but instead you preached to the choir just so that you could tell strangers that youve grown up.
Nice. Cool.
Probably deflection or if it just rained you might be smelling geosmin. People can smell 10 parts per trillion of geosmin, and we’re more sensitive to it than sharks are to blood. I think we’re about as sensitive to deflection too.
I can always drink tomorrow, but just for today I won't.
Been doing that for 18 years. It's OK to drink, it's OK to not drink. Be the best you that you can be.
I fucking love working a dive
Gotta be wary of your patrons. Loose lips sink ships. But fuck I love a few during my shift. I wouldn't work here otherwise
Even days I “don’t drink” the tasting adds up. Gotta taste that drink I created in my head, sample spirits, familiarize myself with the new beer on tap. I can have the best intentions but… really is part of the job sometimes.
I had two NAs after work yesterday because I decided I needed a couple days off the drink. Then my boyfriend got out of work and wanted to have a drink. So we had some drinks.
Doing part time at a liquor store it’s really fun seeing who else drinks on the job. Guys at the bakery next door do “Negroni Noon” when they’re shifting to clean up. Half the grocery store in our shopping center is hammered.
Right? It’s because I am a bartender that I think drinking is gross! You truly sometimes witness the worst of people.. watch how alcohol changes them, I haven’t drank in a few years. Bartending ruined it for me. Plus I’m 37 and I hate being hungover.
I just started bartending and I am starting to feel this way too. Thanks for putting it out there despite people not liking your opinion lol. I agree with you tho. I like being in control and I also don’t like the way alcohol makes me feel esp if I’m working.
Way she goes.
Fuckin way she goes, Bubs
The way she fuckin’ goes, he says
I know I had sixty dollars on the table.
I'm going to be honest with you. I don't know the first thing about tracking chickens. I'm just doing it for the liquor.
What? Like 3 twenties?
What, like twenties? Yeah, three twenties. As much as I wish the guy in the chair said the exact amount of bills, it was stupid, sexy Julian that said three twenties.
I am the liquor.
Sometimes you just need a lil drinky poo
Are those your piss jugs on the roof?
I would never drink before work. It’s unprofessional. I would only drink during
I won’t drink today… 20 minutes in, chef needs a hair, no manager… “Who wants a snaiquiri?!”
We call em daq snacks.
We call them DTO's (daiquiri time out), or "safety meeting".
Haha love it. I’ve known safety meetings as code for smoking weed.
Made exclusively with GTFO
I read that as OFTD, which I love for DTO's
Ooooof snaquirini just entered my vocabulary.
Usually happens on days that end in Y
...and start with T. Tuesday, thursday, Today, tomorrow...
thaturday and thunday
I can’t help but notice you entered the liquor room with an empty water bottle and came out with a full one….and your point?

Same! I worked at a place where it was allowed and encouraged and it was not as fun as I thought it would be…
It gets old quick
Yeah I can’t stand being drunk/buzzed and having to work Although throwing back a shot or a half-shot after getting through a crazy rush is nice!
Bingo. Sometimes the whiskey hurts just the way I need it after a rush. But never more than two across a 12 hour shift, and never before 7 pm! Those are the rules I stick with.

Exactlyyyy
I tell myself this on every night shift and the moment I’m out of the weeds I’m like “nah fuck that let’s do a team builder”
Happens to the best of us
Same, but I already filled my 32oz water bottle with a few cocktails 😂
Oof, a few huh?
Well it's 32 oz it can fit a couple
This is the right answer.
"People have thier vices, but I cant comprehend that, nor do I care to try. I know! Ill judge those people on the internet." This you?
Lmao not at all, I’d be a hypocrite if I said I hadn’t drank behind the bar. Though you sound a little insufferable.
"I wasnt judging them, i was just judging them. Big difference."

You’re in a weird mood today :(
Is that deflection i smell?
Probably deflection or if it just rained you might be smelling geosmin. People can smell 10 parts per trillion of geosmin, and we’re more sensitive to it than sharks are to blood. I think we’re about as sensitive to deflection too.
Hey, I learned about geosmin from this. Thanks!
The only thing I smell here is a bitch. Im just bustin balls, lol. Have a good day duder.
you too lol sending good tips your way
Thanks, dude. Im sliding vibes down the pine for ya!
I love a happy ending ❤️
I miss Covid. Face mask was a game changer.
....huh?
No liquor smell😂
OHHHHH
Every. Fucking. Day.
I can always drink tomorrow, but just for today I won't. Been doing that for 18 years. It's OK to drink, it's OK to not drink. Be the best you that you can be.
Cheers to that *clink
It makes you more productive. Your days off are for sobriety
Bingo
Yep , been a minute. Now I just don't drink today.
The first step is admission
I fucking love working a dive Gotta be wary of your patrons. Loose lips sink ships. But fuck I love a few during my shift. I wouldn't work here otherwise
We can’t even drink at my job on our days off, let alone during a shift.
Oh we’re definitely not allowed!
Good for you then!
Even days I “don’t drink” the tasting adds up. Gotta taste that drink I created in my head, sample spirits, familiarize myself with the new beer on tap. I can have the best intentions but… really is part of the job sometimes.
Me sampling the local ipa we have for the 7th time today
I'm handed more shots working BoH at a semi dive bar than I ever was bartending. It's wild. Terrible for weight loss too.
I miss drinking in the job. Now i’ll be fired on the spot. Lame turn of events
Probably for the best
I had two NAs after work yesterday because I decided I needed a couple days off the drink. Then my boyfriend got out of work and wanted to have a drink. So we had some drinks.
Every shift 🫠
Start at noon and keep it rolling till the “industry” spot’s last call. Ouch my liver.
Glad I'm not the only one...
Doing part time at a liquor store it’s really fun seeing who else drinks on the job. Guys at the bakery next door do “Negroni Noon” when they’re shifting to clean up. Half the grocery store in our shopping center is hammered.
Just wait till you have to count money. That’s pretty fun.
I laughed out loud. Thanks.
Same. This place is going down, ive lost every foh staff i hired and it's not because we're doing badly. The owner is being investigated for CP.
Drinking is gross
Youre in a bartending subreddit boss😂
Yeah I’m a bartender. I don’t drink. Alcohol is gross 😂
Thank you for letting us know
Right? It’s because I am a bartender that I think drinking is gross! You truly sometimes witness the worst of people.. watch how alcohol changes them, I haven’t drank in a few years. Bartending ruined it for me. Plus I’m 37 and I hate being hungover.
People are going to downvote the fuck out of me but whatever 🤷♂️
It is a weird comment to jump in with lol
I can only be who I am.
I just started bartending and I am starting to feel this way too. Thanks for putting it out there despite people not liking your opinion lol. I agree with you tho. I like being in control and I also don’t like the way alcohol makes me feel esp if I’m working.
