The Bartender With The Best Drinks

A bartending job is much harder than people might think. The bartender has many duties and responsibilities, and works long and hard for his or her money. Some people believe that the first profession in the world was in politics, and the second, bartending. Tending a bar is rather tricky, so bartending schools provide bartending training to show potential barkeeps the tricks of the trade.

A bartender is also usually responsible for keeping the bar stocked with supplies. Some of his or her responsibilities might include: keeping the bar stocked with alcohol, napkins, glassware, ingredients for drinks, and various other bar supplies.

In some places, the bartender is also responsible for bringing out appetizers or other food. In almost every case, bartenders have to keep track of the money customers spend or don't spend (if they have a tab), which can be a difficult task sometimes.

So, the next time you go into a bar and order a drink, think about how much responsibility the bartender has. His or her night involves much more than standing there mixing up the cocktail of your choice and listening to your problems.

It is easy to assume that the person behind the bar has an easy job because when you are being served they make it seem like you are their only customer. Yet, they have to make everyone they serve feel the same way. So, if the person making your drinks entertains you, sympathizes with you, or simply makes you feel comfortable, then they are doing their job well.
