Former Bartender Shares 5 Things She’d Never Do At A Bar
This former bartender has decided to offer up a list of the five things that she would never do in a bar.
For those who consider themselves to be barflies, this list just makes you realize that there are some changes that need to be made. @shellycantsitwithus is bit of an expert on the subject, since she has spent almost 20 years working as a bartender.
She’s also a comedian, so this makes for a great watch. She’s got a list of five things that should be avoided at bars but those who are being honest with themselves will admit that they have made these types of mistakes in the past. “5 things I would never do after being a bartender for 19 years,” she wrote in the video.
For starters, she tells people to take a closer look at the environment that they are in. If the bar looks like a dive, it probably is.
This could mean that you are going to be drinking in less than sanitary conditions. “They probably don’t clean their beer lines from the way back all the way to the front,” she says. “You can probably look up with a flashlight and see all the mold fuzz. It’s really cute.”
Bars that use giant machines to batch their products should be avoided, too. “If they’re advertising that that batch cocktail is a Patrón margarita, did you know that all they had to do was add one bottle of Patrón to the entire batch, and they can call the whole batch a Patrón margarita?” she asks.
Third of all, do not eat the fruit slices that are placed by a drink. “Did you see the dirty rag that your bartender just picked up to wipe off the bar in front of you, then all those sopping wet pens and all the cash they were handling, and then they picked up that piece of fruit and put it in your drink?”
It’s a very good question and she makes a lot of solid points. To find out more about her other tips and pointers, please be sure to check out this awesome video.
@shellycantsitwithus I like to ruin things for people 😂. This one isn’t on purpose. 🤢#bartenderlife #bartendersoftiktok #bartenderstories
We had a lot of fun watching it and it is a must-see for anyone who has been known to spend a decent amount of time in a bar. As for us, we are definitely going to be keeping these hacks in mind going forward.
