Hey here are some small tips and tidbits from a bartender so y'all can write some realistic bartender aus!
believe it or not we drink on the job, it's rude to decline a drink offered to you by a customer
yes. I've gotten drunk on the job. yes it was cause I was bought a number of jagerbombs. no I didn't go home or fuck up.
'kiss the bartender' is a popular dare at small bars and private functions. whether it's on the cheek or on the lips is totally up to you
I have been offered people's number in a variety of ways. sometimes I've been handed a note, other times I've just been handed someone's phone on the 'add a new contact' page. girls are more direct, guys try the subtler approach of flirting until declined
Your average bartender doesn't always know cocktails. Especially if they're not on the menu.
Y'all cocktails are potent. If your character is downing ten long Island iced teas they're going to hospital
we live for tips. You could be the biggest cunt in the world but if tip me a fiver I'll put on a fake af smile and pretend you're a sound guy
speaking of. Young people tend to buy you drinks, older people tend to tip you.
There's a number of bar calls we use. 86 means we're out of stock. 68 means we're back in stock. More relevant for fic writers however: 700 means a hot customer, usually aimed at women but can be used for guys too. eg. 'lady in red. 700'
If someone asks what 700 means when asked. We lie through our teeth. We usually say it means you need serving or you look drunk.
That's all I can think of right now. But if you have any questions send me an ask! I've been a bartender for a while now, so I like to think I know my stuff.
FRIENDLY REMINDER, THOUGH I DO NOT LIKE QUEER BAITING ONE BIT, BUT WHAT TDP DID WAS NOT BAIT, THERE WILL BE MORE REP, THESE WERE TWO BACKGROUND CHARACTERS, ALSO BEING LGBT SHOULD NOT MEAN THAT THESE THINGS CANT HAPPEN, THESE THINGS CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE, AND OTHERS REGARDED OF SEXUALITY HAVE DIED IN THE SHOW. REST YOUR BREASTS
HERE HE COMES!! THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!!!
You can come along. If you want to. I wouldn’t mind. 🌿
Some assholes have been putting nails in cheese and treats in dog parks in Chicago and Massachusetts. Also adding antifreeze to water bowls.
Please watch out for your dogs. And if you find out the address of someone doing this, give me the address and tell no one. I will disembowel them.
You don’t have to be black, it just means you support us, you stand by us and you’re for us.
“This is your daily, friendly reminder to use commas instead of periods during the dialogue of your story,” she said with a smile.

A koala was sitting in a tree smoking a joint… when a lizard walks up and says “Hey koala what are you doing?” The koala answers “Smoking a joint, come up and have some.” The lizard climbs up and the two share the joint. After a while the lizard says his mouth is dry and excuses himself to a nearby river to have a drink. The lizard, so stoned, leans over too far and falls in. A crocodile swims out to rescue him. When they get onto dry land, the croc asks, “What’s wrong with you, lizard?” The lizard tells him that he was smoking a joint with a koala, and he got too stoned and fell in while taking a drink. The croc has to see this for himself, so he asks the lizard to take him to the koala. When they get back to the tree, the croc looks up at the koala and says “Hey, you.” The koala looks down and says “Shiiiit dude, how much water did you drink?”
