MarkParticipantwell, second hand smoke is high on my list (if it’s a smoking bar which most are)But most bartenders smoke themselves so they might actually like it. Someone add another.

Aysha24256ParticipantBartending at a over-priced hotel with fountains in the lobby is different that bartending in a dirty, small ‘stomping-ground’. One isn’t better than the other, it just depends on the person. Regardless, it is hell if you do not like chatting with people. It doesn’t have to be the old ‘tell me your problems’ type of chat. But socializing, listening, talking and relating are all very important to the job. Though I was a terrible bartender, I had a friend who was a master. Her secret was that she was nosy, and always knew who was sleeping with who. But she was also bouncy, verbal, and knew restaurant work. How to bus, how to wait tables, how to cook. Because at one point or another,… a bartender does every job in the establishment. Most places I’ve seen consider the bartender sort of like the ‘Co-manager’ or ‘head-of house’. When a problem comes up and the boss isn’t around, the bartender has to fix it.

DwannyParticipantCons:the first one I think of is all the cigarette smoke…not healthy. the 2nd one I think of is drunks, beligerant or not. I don’t think drunks are funny. Nothing funny about someone puking on themselves, not being able to walk, trying to drive and possibly killing someone, and the next morning they can’t remember anything. This is fun? I’ve heard of bartenders being held responsible for not cutting someone off when they are extremely inebriated and hurting or killing someone behind the wheel. Pros:can’t think of any.
