Poor soul

How much wine is too much wine ? That is a difficult question for people just beginning to drink out of a glass instead of straight from the bottle. I drank my wine directly from the bottle throughout college. I love strawberry Barefoot wine from the corner store, and nobody could stop me! Even when I had enough dignity to put this drink in a cup, I did not use a wine glass. I would pour a bunch of wine into a little plastic cup and have a swell night of libations and merriment. Now that I'm an…

Anyone who has worked at a restaurant, bar, or combination of the two knows that pests like fruit flies, gnats, and roaches are no joke. Any sort of infestation can do damage to the business's reputation and can cause major drama with the Department of Health. While a bug here or there is something that's hard to avoid, if a bar or restaurant is overtaken by flies or visible roaches, things must be really, really bad. Any self-respecting business owner would call in professionals to handle a pe…

Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear helmets, others stethoscopes. But some kind-hearted heroes work behind a bar, wielding rags and working for tips. We all know that bartenders have hard jobs. Wrangling drunks and scrambling for tiny tips isn't easy. But we don't often talk about the way bartenders look out for their clientele, whether they're offering an ear to a troubled person, or protecting women from creepy patrons. Twitter user @guttersnipe tweeted about the latter situation this week,…

I believe that there are certain drinks that should only be ordered at specific establishments. I'm not going to be ordering the wine at my local Irish pub. And you definitely won't catch me ordering anything but a tequila or vodka soda at the local dive that specializes in Bud Light. The politics of ordering drinks is a complicated one. We've talked about the drinks bartenders hate making, but is that hatred always justified? Like, is it really that hard to make a mojito? Or is it just lazy? I…

Being a bartender may seem like a glamorous and perk-filled gig to some people, but it's not everything it's cracked up to be. While it may seem fun and benevolent to be getting people drunk, the duty comes with the bonuses of semi-frequent vomit, belligerence, creepy guys, finger-snapping, and people who expect freebies. Even as a bartender in a restaurant, my clientele may have been politely seated at the bar, but the servers sending me tickets had no concept of the time it takes to make cock…

It's no secret that bartending can be a frustrating gig. It's tough standing for hours on end, dealing with annoying drunk people and bad tippers. Sometimes things even get physical. But the most annoying part of the job is sometimes as simple as making a mojito. That's what we've learned from a particularly educational thread on the Bar Memes Facebook group. The community is a haven for service workers , a place where they can share jokes, experiences, and even ask for advice with the knowledg…

Pizza. Everyone's better at pizza when they're drunk. No further explanation needed.

Think before you post.

People love to bash writers of snarky receipt notes. But some people think this customer was in the right.

Bless their hearts.
