Why anything and just have a good bouncer?

Place might be 18+ and needs to identify legal drinkers, or needs in and out privileges to accommodate smokers if there is a smoking ban. Just a couple reasons off the top of my head, I was assuming they already had bouncers and were trying to separate patrons into different groups for some reason.

Kinda wish I could bartend in another state to test my current theory that Las Vegas is the worst place to be a local bartender because the easy revenue gained from the slot machines at the bar allow the dumbest owners imaginable to keep the doors open when Darwinism should have destroyed them years ago.

Are gaming licenses particularly limited? Unless they are, it shouldn't make too much of a difference because they're still competing against bars that also have slot machines.

There's enough tourism that unless the bar is in a lovely location, I can't imagine they have any lack of new people that just to in to wherever is closest/has a table available.

They are limited somewhat, but you'll find a bar with 15 machines on every corner. Each machine, at a bar with virtually no customers, will bring in anywhere between $300-5000, a day, x15, with very little overhead. That will do a lot to keep you afloat. And it's not even tourists, that's just locals from the neighborhood. Every once in a while they pay out, but it's not often and when people win they almost always put that money right back into the machine. Hell on any day, at least 3 employees are going to gamble $100 of their own tips after a shift, which goes right back into the owner's pocket if he owns the machines, half if he doesn't.

Chicago report: The Cubs are in the World Series, and playing at home every day this weekend. Bars were packed by 745 AM this morning. It is Halloween weekend. I am expected to deal with people who have been drinking since at least 8AM on the 28th starting at 9PM on the 29th, where they will then proceed to continue to drink on the 30th, and then go to parties and drink on the 31st. gently caress. This. poo poo. And the Cubs.

 Yes it sucks. It sucks a lot. You probably think it isn't even worth it. But it is. Make rent and have a ridiculous story to tell the newbies.

This was my first Halloween in years that I wasn't in service somewhere. It was pleasant but drab, because all my friends are getting married and having babies. I miss exactly not this when I think about bartending Halloween.

I miss exactly not this when I think about bartending Halloween. As I put my garbage-bagged hand in a shitpuke backed-up urinal at 335 in the morning after working 6 hours for d-bags, I was reminded of my uncle's advice to me in a card on my 18th birthday: "GO TO COLLEGE. GET AN ENGINEERING DEGREE. You'll have all the money you need, you'll get the cars, the babes, and the freedom to do what you want. My only regret in life is that I didn't do it until I was in my 30's." Catching up on that number, Lou. Real fast. (I secretly love the work. It's why I keep getting sucked back in.)

Every time I pour Janitor Sawdust over a pile of puke to sweep it up I remind myself that I can tell the offender to Get hosed and that I don't have an aimless meeting scheduled on Friday an hour before I'm supposed to go home.

I do a desk job as well, and every single week I look forward to my bar shift. I just need to start bringing my own long rubber gloves to work for such occasions as that one.

The kitchen has gloves suited well enough. I don't really need to be a dad, but if I am there will be zero squeamishness w/r/t any liquid a body can produce.

People puking in the urinals is the worst. Sink is bad too. Puke in the toilet, puke in the trash can, hell puke on the floor so it's at least easy to clean up.

I have a story from years ago, of puke in a crazy place. The rule at the nightclub I bounced at before bartending was that the newest guy cleans all puke. So I'm roaming the dance floor and some guy stops me to say there's puke in the men's room. I get to the bathroom in search of vomit, but come up empty handed. I can smell it, but it's not in a sink or urinal or toilet. That's when I saw it. Knowing it would be selfish to keep this discovery to myself, I seek out the new guy to see if he can solve the messy mystery. We get to the still, he scans the walls and floor, plugging his nose. I gesture to the toilet paper dispenser on the stall wall. He grimaced, looking confused, And opened the cover to the dispenser. There it was! Sinkgria, puke, vomit, whatever you call it, filled the cover as it lay open. That's right, someone barfed IN the toilet paper. At least they had the manners to close the cover back up. Moral of the story? Puke brings us all closer as a community.

The bar I hang out apparently lost someone, and they asked if I wanted to work one or two nights a week for the time being. I know most of the customers but it seems kinda daunting at the same time. This is a huge thread, what should I look out for?

I assume you are not a bartender, and I assume you have a career doing something else. Do you want to turn the place you hangout into the place that you work? When one of your bar buddies does something stupid do you want to watch and laugh or have to get involved and grump at somebody and throw out a friend? As a younger man my local watering hole had a vacancy and asked me to fill in, I went from once in a while to one day a week to two days a week, eventually back to one day a week, back down to occasional, and then the place closed up shop. One day a week, particularly on your Friday night is a great gig. Two nights a week when you're got a 40 hour job is a lot to ask. I will say it was the best few years of my life and I regret nothing. Weigh your options. I don't think it's a bad gig.

What do you guys wear to interviews? Used to be I wore suits with no tie, but these days it feels like I should go with casual and hip.

Either what I expect to be wearing when I work there or 'smart casual' ie dress pants/shorts and a button up shirt but no tie or anything

It was a boutique hotel that seemed more on the side of serious than hipster, so I went with the suit. Got the job! It's got actual benefits! Like PTO! I haven't been able to call in sick in seven years.

I've been looking into some hotel gigs myself, it seems like they are excellent long term careers instead of a place that's constantly changing management/concepts

I'm thinking about switching over when it opens.

I noticed the owner of a bar I'm in pour a less expensive liquor into a Crown Royal bottle. Is there a place to report this to? Edit: sorry this question is a bit rushed, but I've come here a few times and I'm pissed knowing this is happening.
