Bartender stories?
Working as a bartender, what are some of the more intense situations you've come across in your daily work?
Answers:
My husband was a bartender for many years on a small island in Georgia (U.S.) Here's my favorite story of his:
His brother came in from out of town and called up a couple of buddies to go out drinking. When they got to hubby's bar they were pretty well lit.
This particular bar was set up for getting up on it to dance. My bro-in-law bet his friend he wouldn't get up and dance. When he did, my b-i-l bet him he wouldn't drop his shorts and flash everybody. Well the guy did and my clever bro somehow managed to snag his shorts and take them completely off this guy, who was going comando if you know what I mean. Did I mention that b-i-l had started to make a get-away with the garment?
This guy, we'll call him Chaz, stunned hopped off of the bar and was able to tackle my bro and wrestle him to the ground. The funniest part of this story is when my husband called the bouncer to break up the tussle and get them out of the bar, the HUGE bouncer said, "I ain't touchin' that naked mess."
I think hubby eventually got them to leave after he quit rolling on the floor laughing.
One stabbing, have had to break up several fights. I'm only 5' 3"!
And of course several instances of men coming in the pub with one woman during the week and then bringing "the wife" out at the weekend!
Having some prince from some place at our hotel bar. Got drunk and throw tempers. Smash our vases and wine glasses. After that, his body guards gave us really big tips to clean up the mess. In the end, my boss took all of our tips as his compensations.
