There are certain rules at the bar. When I was first trained – an experience so traumatic I don’t think I can write about it yet – Adalina, the brash blond bombshell who trained me, handed me a surprisingly thick manual. It started with a four page list of DO’S AND DON’TS in big, bold block caps.
For example:
DON’T get too drunk (And: YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DRINK PATRON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!)
DO pay attention to the women – they tip better.
DON’T turn the volume down, even if someone asks. It’s a party, not a café!
And my favourite: Remember, the customers are ALWAYS WRONG!
