I have this 50+ year old lady that comes into my bar looking for the quickest way to get drunk before her shift. She is a mess. She has her bouffant all ratted up and intact as a result of her using half a can of Aqua Net a day, her frosted lipstick and make-up goop in the corner of her eyes. She could be mistaken for a trashier version of Cruella Deville. I throw up in my mouth a little bit every time I see her. You can tell she’s been a server her whole life and never had any ambition to do anything else. I’ve never seen this woman sober and doubt that she ever has been. She’s old and wrinkled and reeks of a wet ashtray/nursing home.
The worst part about her is that she’s famous for dropping that line, “Oh I’ll take care of you sweetie.” That is a bartender’s nightmare because you know that means that you’re not getting shit for a tip from them. It’s even funnier to me because they truly think they are hooking you up and it’s not even 10%. If you think that’s good then you are obviously doing something wrong because that sucks a donkey’s crooked ball sack!! I’m going to allow my Habeeb cousin to bitch slap this woman with his D if they ever cross paths!!


Wednesday is the day that Tammy and Mikey always come up to my work to have some cocktails. They stayed later than usual and were still there when I got off. Not seeing Tammy in a couple of weeks I decided to stay and have a drink to socialize for a little bit before going home and cooking dinner. I think it was Tammy that suggested getting a pizza delivered to the bar and I of course was unable to turn down my favorite food. After eating the first piece I was already filling up since the slices are on steroids when Tammy presented me with what you could call a “dare.” If I could eat 2 pieces at once she would get me a shot. How could I turn that down? Barely accomplishing the task at hand we all got a shot followed by another drink. Now I had wanted to go home but was having fun with my friends.
One week ago today was one of the scariest nights I’ve had in an extremely long time. I had worked that night and didn’t get home until around 3am. I immediately got into the shower and then had a snack to hold me over until breakfast. It’s usually around 3:30am before I get into bed and 4am before I start falling asleep. I had started to fall into a deep sleep when my doorbell started ringing non-stop, my door was being beat down and someone was trying to use the knob to get in. It startled my ass right awake and scared the shit out of me.
So some red-haired mop-headed bitch comes into my bar last night. She orders a glass of wine and some garlic knots. She finished the 1 glass and asked for another. I poured it for her but seemed a little hesitant. She then asked, “Do you take American Express or Discover?” I responded, “We don’t take American Express but we do take the Discover.” She replied with a simple, “O…okay.” She proceeded to ask for a small pepperoni pizza. I rang it in and go about my job. It comes out and she only eats 2 pieces of it before she gets up to go to the bathroom. At some point she got a Coors Light bottle from the other bartender. Something wasn’t setting well with me when I saw that beer sitting there but I couldn’t pinpoint it. The owner happened to be right at the front door and I asked her to watch the lady until I could get up there. Sure enough she pretended to go to the bathroom and then turned and walked outside. The owner followed right behind her making it very obvious we were watching her. She was “on the phone” when she supposedly told the person she would call them back. She walked back in and went and sat back in her seat at the bar.
I officially hate working Monday nights! I don’t feel safe and I’m stuck dealing with the entire population of weirdo’s all by myself. I first have these 2 numbskulls come in that seem pretty normal. They start out drinking some beers and I bullshitted with them for a little bit. They mentioned beer pong and I asked if they wanted to play knowing that we had a beer pong table in the back. They got super excited when I busted it out; they played the first round and I called winner.
What is up with people who can never shut the hell up? I’m so sick of people who are constantly rambling on about nothing of interest with their voice getting progressively louder as if I can’t already hear them screaming whatever the hell they are babbling about. You would think that people would get the picture when I walk away from them. Obviously this is the clearest sign I could give any individual that I no longer want to hear the words that are coming out of their mouth. My ears are on the verge of bleeding and your voice makes me want to either jab a fork into my eye or make out with Gary Busey.; both extremely painful to do but well worth it if it means your voice not being heard anymore. I would even consider blowing a llama… Just stop talking!
It being busy when I came into work didn’t give me any time to do my pour test until after we closed. It was about 2:50am when I started but I was also learning some new pour techniques as well. While doing this, some lunatic whom we could only assume was a drunken slop-tart comes banging on the front door. All of our heads turn to realize that it’s good old Heather coming to play with us!! We were just bullshitting around until Heather kept reminding us of how late it was. Thanks Heather!
I’m not going to lie, there are some manly looking woman that show up to ladies night. I don’t come in until 10pm but 4 hours is way too long to be exposed to them. They are the epitome of trash and I hate having to be anywhere near them. The reason I can’t stand them is because they are there all night sucking down the free drinks without EVER tipping. That irritates the shit out of me…you can’t even fork over a $1? They expect top service just because they’re in there all the time. Go to hell! We don’t even like your stank asses!!
at this point. Apparently she thinks I’m incapable of pouring her vodka and cranberry. I walk away to serve the rest of the people waiting to get their drinks made as she throws a fit and shakes her glass in the air. Ummm, did she just forget that she told me she wanted Matt to make her drink? I always aim to please my guests so I told her, “I guess you’re going to have to wait for him to come back behind the bar.”
