For those of us who've ever had the great pleasure of working service jobs, this next one's for you.
It's no secret that food service jobs are held by some of the hardest working men and women on the clock. Spending hours on your feet, lifting and moving heavy trays, and constantly assuring that your many customers have everything they need demands a certain level of professionalism unique to the industry. Bartenders? They're in a league of their own.
Bartenders are responsible for all of the above with added unique affliction of having to cater to people who run the gamut of slightly buzzed and chatty to unintelligible and belligerent. They are the unofficial martyrs of our long days at the office and post-breakup self-pitying.
But the absolute worst, if the comments from the bartenders interviewed in the following video are any indication, are other bartenders. The pretension, the insufferable waxed mustaches, the overall lack of self-awareness — these are the things that truly grind the gears of their fellow drink slingers behind the bar. And wouldn't you believe it, they're more than willing to share all with us.
Pour one out for the bartenders out there who have yet to find their voice — may they find peace in the highest of tip percentages.
Tell us your service industry nightmare story in the comments, and SHARE this video in solidarity with your friends on Facebook.
