Remember, brown liquors get stirred clockwise, clear liquors get stirred counter clockwise.

I've seen bars where the owners partied there, but they were completely hands off on the actual day to day operations - most non-management employees couldn't even point them out unless they'd worked there for a year or more. I worked in one of them and it was wildly successful until the smoking ban hit Houston, and then it unceremoniously died due to that and a couple other things that all happened at once (I left about 5-6 months prior).

Old Man Pants posted:There's a cool bartender I work with who will just rattle off like 15-20 mixed drinks he knows that we can make with the ingredients we have, and then asks which one would you like It's a lovely question, but that's a worse response unless it's a high volume place where wasted time equals lost sales. You should at least be able to take 10 seconds and ask "Beer, liquor, sour, sweet ???" to get someone started - a response like that just aggravates customers. But if it's high volume, yeah, gently caress anyone who walks up to the bar, flags down a bartender and doesn't have their order ready.

Old Man Pants posted:We're high volume, and often have lines 100 deep. If you've been standing in line for 10 minutes and still have no idea what you want, gtfo. I have zero issue with that response in high volume - when there are 20 other people who know what they want, yeah, skip the idiot who doesn't.

Why stamps and not wristbands?

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.

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?

TwoStepBoog posted:Sorry, you're right. This is generally true, marrying bottles is illegal in most places. I don't have an issue with that, personally, but it's still against the law. Pouring a cheaper liquor into a call or top shelf bottle is fraud, though. The right place to call is here: https://abd.iowa.gov/ Edit: I should say, that's almost certainly the right place to go. If it isn't, they should be able to point you in the correct direction. I would try to report it anonymously, or at least pose as a former employee rather than a current one.
