idk where you live but i've been to nearly every type of bar and i've never really had a problem with boomer dive bars, they tend to be friendly in a gruff sort of way, usually making a lighthearted joke about why i'm in there (im 27).

but anyone who doesnt get why bartenders can be cranky clearly hasn't worked at a bar. they arent there to hold your hand,
if its prime time and the bars packed, you should have some semblance of self-awareness and not try to waste their time and have your order ready to go. people, especially us americans, tend to think the world revolves around us. its a two way street, you make their jobs easier by being quick, and i garuntee you most of the bartenders will respond with speedy service.
yes, there are some bartenders who are just douches, and that goes for literally any job.

here's the more pressing question (inb4 >>>/fa/)
why, when bartenders never wear a jacket/coat/blazer, do they wear a waistcoat/vest with lining on the back rather than the main fabric?
waistcoats with a lining back are designed to be worn with a jacket. the lining is there so not to double up on a heavy, warm, insulating fabric. but if you're not wearing a jacket ever, surely the sensible, correct thing to do in order to show you're not a sartorial pleb who thoughtlessly buys their clothes off the rack, would be to buy a full fabric vest.

your mistake is drinking out in the first place.
the price is absolutely ludicrous, you're paying at least, AT LEAST triple the price it would cost you to make them at home.
"b-but the experience of being in a bar"
"b-but the social side of things"
fuckin get a bunch of mates (if you actually have them), decide what drinks you want, write down an ingredients list, split it, everyone buys something for the home bar, socialise at home. simple. you don't have to wait for cunts, you don't have to deal with leary drunken strangers, you don't need a designated driver, or risk running into some jumped up chavs on the walk home, you socialise with the people you give a shit about in the comfort of your own home, and save money on the drinks.
these "mixologists" are charlatans anyway. it's all theatrics. a good drink is a good drink, you don't need hollow ice balls, flames, garnishes and all of that.

when you work in service you constantly run into people who lack any basic manners whatsoever.

it's actually appalling. before I started working at a bar I would have thought the same as you, but it's really very understandable. people come into these fucking places and absolutely TRASH them, they treat the servers like shit, they talk about the most vapid, retarded bullshit way too loudly...

personally I work in a sports bar, and people bring their kids there (especially during the day) and just let them throw food all over the place. they take the paper off of the trays and plates and set them on the tables, then pour their sauce on the paper so it soaks through and makes a huge mess, then they stack the larger trays on top of the smaller ones, and then get up and leave without pushing their chairs in.

it's like, these people legitimately have no common sense or decency. they don't realize that SOMEONE has to clean their fucking mess after they leave, and somehow they just don't think twice about letting their children run around the place and throw food on the floor. what kind of example are they setting? nobody is expecting them to clean the table for the workers, but keeping their shit organized to some degree would just make way too much fucking sense apparently...

all of this, is just to help you understand that working in the service industry has you losing 90% of your hope for humanity, and honestly rightfully so. it becomes soooo easy to spot the shitheads right when they walk in the door, and you see so many different types of people that play directly into the stereotypes like it's a game of fucking charades.

most people working at a bar come to understand that many people do not think, even once, about how their actions effect the people around them. they just don't care. so no wonder they're a bit rude and crass, because fuck 90% of you motherfuckers.

though, part of being a tender is to learn to smile and act kindly regardless.

If two out of three fail then they'll usually give in to the third.
They better have mint if they're "out of mix" or "Oh... The coffee machine is broken."

Like I said, I usually go either late at night when everything's been used up or right when the doors open.

its a bad combo of different things into a perfect asshole storm. its service industry, so they already have people in certain catagories after years of doing this, how much of a pain in the ass each type is, etc, they are also bitter about not living up to prior plans or expectations. Almost every bartender Ive talked to has dropped out of a university or some other training, or went to prison at some point, and the rare loser has done nothing but service industry his whole life and is severly depressed. they like being assholes to others to feel better about themselves because they were probably treated like shit themselves as youngsters.

I agree, you should have an idea of what you want before you get to the bar and shouldn't be a dick. But I've gotten my order taken rude as fuck a few times.
I'm cool with a bartender being a dick to another dick, but when I've just walked in and I'm being treated like shit, I don't like it.
>>11719494
I work retail and there is no shortage of shitheads. I always try to treat customers with a new slate. But you can always tell when a bartender is having a bad day.
In my experience, male bartenders are usually straightforward and have never given me shit. Usually it's the female bartenders that seem agitated or cranky.
I don't mean it in a sexist way, but maybe they just catch more shit and can't deal with it as effectively. We go through female bartenders so fast at my local bar.

You know what I meant by salary. They don’t work for free, dipshit. And yes, benefits. Uniforms, training, and the like. Do you own a business? I don’t think you know how much money you’ll actually make. McDonald’s franchise owners make 300k a year because they own 10 McDonald’s, not because they’re making shit tons per store.

they do catch shit, but the good ones roll with the punches
problem is female bartenders bring whatever problems they have outside of the place in to it and it reflects when they have a shit attitude
imagine getting hit on everyday by disgusting fat old men who hang out at a bar for at least 3 hours a day so they can get away from their wives who they can't stand, that's usually what they deal with and most don't last long

As a Bartender myself I can't stand other Bartenders with ego. Jesus Christ we're in the easiest gig we get paid for opening beer bottles and making drinks that take 1 Minute Tops.

>UHM, Y'KNOW, WE LIKE, *DEPEND* ON YOUR *GRATUITY*
Fuck you, how much am I supposed to give you for grabbing a can of PBR for which I'm already paying 5x what I should?
If I'm at a nice restaurant and you're servicing me, or if you're making em a mixed drink by hand, then sure. You're insane if you think you're getting a special reward for placing a can onto the bar.
Not to mention 90% of the time you're a thot with her tits hanging out, some boomer is probably bumping you fifties every time you top off his Miller lite.

I can sympathize with service people for having to deal with freaks and assholes, but they're some of the most entitled people I've seen in my life.
Hell, even if you tip them but they don't think it's good enough they'll publicly shame you on social media. I see ten posts like that a day from my waitress friends, it's like they have an online realm devoted to jerking each other off.

I've got a female friend who works at motherfucking Applebees
She says that there's basically a science to it. If a well-off older man or family come in, the girls will practically fight over serving them- because if they act flirty there's a good chance they'll leave a 50 along with their phone number, or some dumb shit like that. Everyone else (especially blaqs since they never tip) gets slow and disaffected service.

I work in the beer industry (I'm sales for a craft brewer) and most of my contacts are bartenders/bar owners/bar managers.

The answer is less "you have to deal with people" than everyone here is saying. It's closer to "the business is really unpredictable which means they're either busy or bored shitless".

Every time I show up at a client's place either they've got something urgent to do and can't spare me 2 minutes, or they're trying to pour me free shit so I'll stay so they've got someone to talk to. Sure there's asshole customers and whatnot but it's honestly long hours which can at any moment shift between "I've been organizing the coasters and reading news on my phone for the last 3 hours" to "I have to make 15 drinks in the next 25 seconds"

And of course, customers don't appreciate that this is true, which is where the "people" side comes in. Most bartenders will be happy to sit and chat with you if they've got time, but, a lot of people are demanding without any appreciation of the current situation in the bar.

I work in a brewery so when a guest complains that our bar only has "three types" of bourbon I just ask if they know where they are. I love cocktails but coming to mircrobrewery isn't the place to go for them.

Most Bartenders are assholes because they're getting paid shit wages and have to split tips over $20. The hours are pretty unpredictable, and you have to deal with drunks who won't leave the bar and the owner.

The problem with this logic is that belligerantly drunk people dont just effect themselves. A guy taking his own intoxication level in his own hands is fine and all for your virtue signalling post, but it doesnt stop him assaulting a bars customers, destroying their property puking all over the place, causing a disturbance for others or maming a pedestrian driving home. I dont want to go to a bar with overserved people everywhere. And bars want to make money.

Not him, but the rude assholes are the worst tippers. So I don't make the effort. It has nothing to do with entitlement or how much some anon thinks my work is worth. It is simply the worker maximizing utility. It is the same if I hear any sort of accent not from NA, I just don't have the patience.

you know..
sometimes people get beaten or even murdered by someone who just loses their temper.
i don't work in food service or whatevr it's called and i think what you did is amusing
but i somehow doubt you'd be able to fend off a rage-induced attack.
sure you might respond and say you have a concealed carry permit or that your an expert in krav maga (?), but i doubt any of it's true and someday you might regret being an asshole.
part of situational awareness is forethought
just sayin anon.

janitor here

everything he said is wrong, I don't care if you make messes. Here's my schedule:

Go to the bar just before last call 0100
start cleaning the kitchen first because the kitchen closes before the bar
finish around the time the servers and bartenders and managers are done their closing duties like counting cash and so on
look busy cleaning the main area while they do this 0230 now
the second they depart go and take a nap until 0500
that's when the first deliveryman appears and the morning cook appears not long after
finish cleaning by 0700 and go home

For a professional janitor, I'd honestly be impressed if you made a mess that actually caused me to stay late. I sweep the whole entire floor every night, so it doesn't make a difference if there's a hundred fries on there or just a single one, it takes about the same time. It takes me longer to figure out how to appear like I'm consistently cleaning. Sometimes if the place was extra dirty, I had to make a show of staying late because obviously, logic dictates that if it's messier it should take me longer to clean. Which it does to a degree, but I'm taking three hour paid naps every night and the most fluctuation in cleaning is like a half hour. It was hard work, making it appear like I work hard. They'd add tasks to my list like washing the outside windows, and I'd have to start taking longer naps because it wouldn't make sense for me to complete more labour in the same amount of time.

All the janitors I knew were the same way, so don't listen to bartenders bitching, they don't know what they're talking about because we have them fooled too. We had to play things very close to the chest for obvious reasons.

Well then, my poofter friend, have you considered avoiding shit bars?
At my favourite bars (i.e. the only ones I go to), the bar tenders are all great fun to talk to, happily recommend their favourite spirits to go into X cocktail, and will choose (or improvise) cocktails for you if you say something like "I just want something sweet and bitter" or "I'm new to cocktails but I really like coffee". This is the experience you should be after.

Nobody should have to lower their standards just so you don't feel out of your depth. People aren't inferior to you just because they aren't a part of your working-class culture.

Where did this idea come from? Maybe the US economy is different to over here, but most jobs you could get without a degree pay absolute shit-all and have very little prospects. If you want an okay paying (£40,000+) job you usually need a degree.
