@@angelbulldog4934 yea, I was. And yes, most of them lie about being combat. Obviously, someone with a missing limb is not, but you get my point. People need to stop acting like soldiers should have their feet kissed. We made a choice. We joined for a paycheck. We weren’t “fightin for freedom”.

@leoneguardo905 I'm aware that the military is corrupt, and I thank you. My uncle helped start the sniper program at Ft. Benning, then on to Nam. Retired a Major. I heard only a few things from him because I wasn't an adult yet. It's not just the military though, is it? People in every walk of life do much the same bcuz most of them are 💩 to start with.

[@brolohalflemming7042]

@Bax 60 Being a bartender was one of the most fun jobs I've ever had, just the pay sucked. Thing I found with drunks is they're best avoided, so cutting them off before they became too wasted. Which I think is pretty much the law in the US and is here in the UK. We'd also get to know regulars who'd turn into mean drunks, so stopped serving them before that happened. Main thing was being firm and going from 'Haven't you had enough tonight?' to 'I think you've had enough', then 'No more' and finally they'd get barred if they were too much of a PITA. Worst thing though is owners who drink. I heard many stories of owners/landlords who started drinking, became alcoholics and lost their businesses. I guess it's like being a kid in a candy store, but more dangerous, and waaaay too easy to fall into the bottle.

[@M17_Max]

@@brolohalflemming7042 Also a bartender in the UK and I completely agree. Mainly because I've seen too many people drunkenly walk out the bar and instantly fall to the curb. Better to avoid the confrontation by preventing it, saves so much trouble and aggressive standoffs

Ashley Clark is one of my favorite people in the entire history of the show. She proved her worth and Jon took her in. Game recognizes game.

[@mharris5047]

I heard that Ashley is doing well outside of this industry now but she ruined her chance as a bartender with the massive tattoo job on her. She had the skills to be an excellent bartender but anything more profitable than a dive bar won't hire someone with that kind of tattoo job, it turns off the higher class customer base. Bartenders in some of the higher class bars make $500 plus a night with tips, Ashley could have made a decent living without the tattoos. Jon Taffer tried to include her on some of his bar rescue projects as a trainer but he couldn't have her out with customers in the bar because of her highly unprofessional look.
