Schavon Texting
AH HAH!! Yet again this blog is evolving. A new Catagory will be added today, “Bad Bartenders.” This blog should help to expand anyones knowledge who is interested in cocktails, liquor, ect. With that in mind I know that there are a few of you out there who are reading this who are in fact bartenders.
Being a part of the Industry I also believe that it is a little easier for us to judge a less informed or maybe ignorant bartender. On the other hand sometimes there is just no excuse. Thats where we have our first teacher of what not to do behind the bar, Schavon. Now I don’t know Schavon’s name because she politely walked up and introduced herself like a bartender in a nice restaurant like Walters in Claremont should, I know it because I was so pissed off about her crappy service that I looked at the receipt so I could write about her.
1. Dont text while at work. Simple enough. the constant ringing of an iPhone is not what I want to hear while I am drinking my beer. Especially when the constant ringing and texting keeps my bartenders back to me the entire time I am at the bar like her photo shows. (although in this case it may have been better that she wasnt talking to us.)
2. Remember others can hear you. With me and my girlfriend and only two other people at the bar it was apparent pretty quickly that we were annoying her by being there because we were interrupting her conversation time with her friends. More importantly you need to remember that people can hear what you are talking about. I don’t necessarily need to know your life’s problems nor do I want to.
3. If you hate your job, don’t make it so obvious. Just smile, it’s not hard. I’m sorry I am bothering you by asking for a menu, but get over it, its your job.
