Why you should drink at Jimmy's Tavern instead of home

Every night, Harold would go down to the liquor store, get a six pack, bring it home, and drink it while he watched TV. One night, as he finished his last beer, the doorbell rang. He stumbled to the door and found a six-foot cockroach standing there. The bug grabbed him by the collar and threw him across the room, and left.
The next night, after he finished his 3th beer, the doorbell rang.
He walked slowly to the door and found the same six-foot cockroach standing there. The big bug punched him in the stomach, then left.
The next night, after he finished his 1st beer, the doorbell rang again. The same six-foot cockroach was standing there. This time he was kneed in the groin and hit behind the ear as he doubled over in pain. Then the big bug left.
The fourth night Harold didn't drink at all. The doorbell rang. The cockroach was standing there. The bug beat the snot out of Harold and left him in a heap on the living room floor.
The following day, Harold went to see his doctor. He explained events of the preceding four nights. "
" What can I do? " he pleaded.
" Not much " he doctor replied. " There's just a nasty bug going around."

The task of being a bartender

Anyone can pour a beer.....right? Anyone can mix a rum and coke...how hard can that be?




If it was that simple everyone would do it...and be broke. Being a bartender takes much more than just mixing, pouring and serving you drinks.

Walk into any bar and ask for a "Dirty Monkey" and you will see how difficult being a bartender is. It's the drinks that are rarely asked for, no one has heard of that separates the professional bartenders from the "just until something better comes along." I'm not saying that the professional bartenders are always going to know what a Dirty Monkey is but the good ones will look at you and say, "okay, you've stumped me...how do you make it." This is not a job you can "fake it till you make it" as there is nothing worse than ordering a drink and having something other than what you ordered served to you.

If you are one of these clients, you know the type (Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally), if you order an "uncommon" drink do yourself (and your bartender) a favor and confirm the ingredients in the drink.

Now for the hardest part of a bartender's job....listening to you.....do I dare say the word "complain" about your life, your job, your spouse or the guy at the end of the bar. More people "talk" to bartender's than Psychiatrists....one reason is they are cheaper. If you are one of these people who bend the ear of your bartender......remember to TIP THEM WELL, it's still cheaper than professional help.

The next time you find yourself in a bar take 10 minutes of your time there and watch how hard your bartender works, how much your bartender remembers of their customers and how difficult the job actually is.

Appreciation is appreciated by everyone. Show some to your bartender the next time you see them.
