Blog #5 Orientation

If you want to bartend, you have to know how to multitask. If you can't do that then this job is not for you. When pouring a drink you must be taking another persons order. You're only getting paid about $9 an hour so most of your money comes from the customers. You treat them right and they will reward you with great tips. whatever you do, DO NOT share with other bartenders or servers how much you make. Reason being if you make good money the other girls and boys will try to steal your costumers or take your shifts. Back to shift duties. When you are not with a customer, you do not sit on your phone, clean something, anything! If you are caught on your phone you will be terminated. Being able to multitask will benefit not only the company or your customers, but your wallet. The more drinks the more money! Employees around here are easy to get along with, but there are a few to be aware of. One is a man named Jared, he try's to sleep with every new girl that starts here. Just because he is the owners kid he thinks that he owns the place. Basically, Jared can do what he wants and not get in trouble. Everyone that works here is either dating another co-worker or the are related to each other. So keep your nose clean.
Because you are the night shift bartender you will have to make sure every table in the building is clean and every condiment is stocked. Also all lights have to be off and doors locked. If you forget and this place gets robbed, you will be the one to blame and in result be fired. Even if it is 20 minutes until closing and you have customers to attend to, make sure you take care of them because a girl named April is the snitch around here and if you don't take care of them she will tell the boss and you will lose hours as a first punishment. Once you are on her Sh** list you will never get off of there.
Locking up is one of the most important things you have to do besides locking the doors. All liquor has to be in all cabinets and locked up 10 min before closing. No exceptions! You are on camera and if you don't do what is expected, you will no longer have this job. Keep your nose clean and be nice, but don't make friends with the other employees. They will turn on you in a heartbeat for more money.
