I knew a bar tender that kept a bottle of "vodka" which was just water in a special spot behind the bar so the bartenders could do "shots" with the guests. Guests ofc got actual alcohol and the bartenders took a water shot

[@sparrow4824]

So I used to work at a bowling center. I wasn't trained on bar, but I would make drinks a couple times when the bartender was sick and we were finding coverage or whatever. Do you know HOW MANY CUSTOMERS were more than happy to wait an extra few minutes after I put a smile on my face and said in a cheerful tone "Hey, I'm not a bartender, but I can definitely serve you, so give me a second to look it up and I'm happy to make it!" I've been to bars before where the bartender gave me a friendly "Ya know, I'm new, so I'm not sure the answer to your question, but let me check," or "Oh, it's my first night, so I have to check the book, but I can absolutely make that!" It's all about a friendly attitude. If you're doing your best, people are forgiving. And there's a difference between "not fully trained yet, but working on it and will definitely have the ropes in a couple weeks" and "just doesn't give a shit." Most of these bartenders just don't give a shit.

[@umungus518]

Yeah if a bartender asks me whats in it or says it will take a minute to look up and is polite about it I have zero problem with that. If they're rude and try to shame me for ordering something thats not a beer or shot then I just leave.

[@AS-Val-Gijinka]

It's about humility, respect, and customer service. Honesty and being earnest will get you everywhere. There's a kratom/kava/hookah bar I frequent that just a few weeks ago revamped the menu, added new drinks, and got a few new people as they expanded the place. Some of the veterans still haven't learned the new menu by heart but they'll never turn anything down, will just look at what's in it and immediately go from there. I keep going back because the service is so good.

The businesses look like abandoned strip mall spaces filled with props, the owners/employees/patrons all behave like low budget actors, but it's all highly entertaining.

[@mently_unstable22]

You can actually go to these bars its not fake they actually have a lot of fails because of incompetent owners and bartenders who don't care or their already to deep in debt to get out sadly

[@babysoul9830]

I know someone who is a bartender and well she was sexually harassed to the point of not wanting to go back hell the person who harassed her kept doing it even while her partner was there waiting for her. She is the sweetest person I know and she told me she wanted to end her life. She no longer works at that place but moved somewhere else and she is apparently loving it there.

[@jazzfeline5970]

Idk where you live, but every bar I've been to has zero tolerance for sexual harassment towards staff or customers. Your story sounds like something that would happen in a shithole part of the country, no offense.

[@nickbemo9940]

I see a pattern with all of these owners where none of them are treating a bar like a business. It’s just a good time where they can hire their shitty friends not to do the job they’re supposed to do. Do you really need someone to come in there and tell you that your employees shouldn’t be arguing with customers and getting drunk behind the bar? All these mistakes are just common sense

[@xglosis]

Ah yes but then we wouldn’t have some good ole fashioned reality tv

I’m sorry…that looked like an awesome PERSONAL pizza.

[@hippiehipsta578]

That old lady is amazing!!! Lol

[@FactStorm]

Last guy doesn't get that the failed flare is backfiring, and that it's wasting time and customers. So oblivious, caught up in his own diversion attempts and delusion of authority.

[@RoyalGuyful]

L Boogie shouldn’t have gotten fired 😕

[@dubb3835]

He shouldn't have beaten churches ass especially since that's his best friend he know Lee is down and almost out and he still doesn't care

[@HaosOnline]

@@dubb3835 church was stealing. He was lucky he wasnt shot. Thank god Lee failed and the bar closed down.

It was probably a blessing in disguise.

[@Jbeaming1]

If you need someone to come in and tell you THESE people are bad employees then you shouldn't be a business owner.

[@PoetTornado2022]

Ive never been to a bar, but my expectations are high af after watching these videos - a friend of mine recently asked what to expect because she's been accepted as a bartender in a little bar so she wanted to know what to do if ever a bar fails and what to avoid doing. I told her to watch these videos, and so far she's doing really really well

[@lyrebird3184]

Honestly the fact that Taffer is angry at a person who is not given the tools to do a simple job like cook a pizza and acts like her attitude is the problem is so stupid. You know for a fact she hated standing there wasting her time when there was no reason other than a lack of tools, but still he's like NOPE, THAT ATTITUDE IS KILLING THIS PLACE.

[@guadalupegutierrez553]

This show makes me want to be a bartender but I couldn’t deal with useless coworkers

[@stuff1784]

RIGHT

[@EnglishInfidel]

"There's more alcohol in that one drink than you're allowed in one night" Gtfo lol

[@TravisBroski]

You know, there’s something really funny about these bartenders not knowing how to make some of the simplest drinks. Now, I’m no bartender myself, but at my workplace, a local restaurant, we have some kind of cheat key-chain that has all the kinds of drinks and how to do them (lubejob, orgasm, old fashioned, etc.) Can they just NOT have any of those at hand?

[@holzcartoonz9962]

Well, it requires them to care somewhat about their job and the place. Yout noticed, that you have a problem and found a solution for it. And they don't care enough, to think of it as a problem. And the main difference between them and you is, that knowing how to make drinks, is a big chunk of their job. It's like a mechanic, who doesn't know, what which tool does, or how a car functions.

[@TravisBroski]

@@holzcartoonz9962 Even THEN, a dude can’t buy like a five dollar keychain thing that has all the drinks and ingredients? That’s not asking for a lot.

[@awesomesauce2000]

Lubejob doesn't sound very appealing lol

[@awesomesauce2000]

@@TravisBroski they might not know about them. I think most places just want you to know how to make a drink without having to cheat

[@Squally2005]

@@awesomesauce2000 Depends on the place. A cheat sheet/reference sheet to refresh your memory if you don't make them all the time is a nice thing to have. Personally I would rather have a bartender double checking a reference card to make sure their measurements are on point for a cocktail they don't make regularly than have them wing it and end up with a wrong drink.

[@ellessandraramsay1841]

What is the deal with these bars? They look so cheap it's like they're in someone's basement.

[@AwkwardBlackGal613]

Most likely neighborhood bars from people that grew up there or were blessed enough to have an inheritance. If you're from a smaller city/town you know.

[@blackice9088]

With today's technology, bartenders should be able to look up any drink recipes easily...

[@PoetTornado2022]

You can search anything these days, like how to make a good cheesecake or how to clip a dog's fur

[@PoetTornado2022]

Technology is great - I so happy I was born in the 2000s

[@PoetTornado2022]

I'm so happy technology has progressed this far

[@coolstorybro6553]

That's the issue with not having a cook٫ if one bartender goes into the kitchen to make an order of food٫ they know that another employee is going to ask them to make another order٫ and then that bartender will get stuck cooking all night.

I think my favorite part is when John says the employee has a point, but then walks in and completely forgets that he said anything like that and ripped them a new asshole anyway.

Rule #1: No employee or owner of a bar shall drink at the establishment. One duty, or off.

[@vickyferreira3259]

I LOVED IT when he called that "bartender" a prick!!! Took him down several notches..I LOVE Jon!!

[@psg6832]

I was sad when I realised even this show is scripted. The bars are real, they need rescue for real. But all this drama and recons are staged. At times they are blatantly doing this not even trying to hide it. Like when there is a handheld camera following or pointed at employees when they are acting disrespectful or irresponsible and they act as if the camera is invisible.

[@hanthonyc]

No way that woman at the skating rink bar should be in the "worst" list? She was acting unprofessional by letting customers see her frustration, but she's also clearly... not a cook. I'd be just as pissed off with the owner in her shoes, she knows this isn't in her skillset.

[@leanajo754]

At 23:20, I think that guy watched the movie "Cocktail" starring Tom Cruise, way too often.
