Advice from a Bartender
Ahhh, I come to work every day, unlock the liquor cabinet, set up my well, turn on the lights, fill my ice bin, cut the limes and lemons into sharp wedges, count the till, and unlock the door. One would think pouring alcohol and sodas into tall, ice filled glasses and changing kegs is pretty much all we do, right? So did I, until I fell into the field. In my 10 years of bartending, I have unofficially accrued a psychology degree, am constantly working on my relationship counseling schooling, and have mastered my How to Keep Drunken Patrons From Bleeding on Your Floor Doctorate. The bartender is who you talk to when you’re lonely, having a spat with your significant other, want to hit your boss, or really have nowhere else appealing to go. As the bartender, I offer love and relationship advice, shake my head at your boss along with you, help you solve everyday life dilemmas, and help you hook-up with that cute thing at the end of the bar, with little embarrassment on your end, by sending her a creamy shot dedicated to her lovely image by you. I have heard every story, experienced even the most disturbing of images-images I might say I could have died happy without their ingraving my memory!-and have truly helped thousands of people. Yet I am one who has never gossiped or told their secrets, I have grown a very respected name of confidentiality, and have recieved many commendations. I, therefore, have many close friends. In this site, I will offer advice, and give offerings of stories-never with real names- GUARANTEED. I will never break confidentiality or ruin my good name. Feel free to email. Happy Martini’s!
