This episode always bugged me because I don’t like parquet flooring

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

Hey! I don't like it that much either, but the flat we've bought sports it and I try to live with it....and by now..I kinda dig it

Keeps the work amusing and sometimes improves your tips. You're usually cramped as hell behind a bar, especially if theres another bartender or a busser back there. I liked to try to move fluidly when I was busy and why not have a little fun if you can.

Some bloke in the South East Asia:

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's impressive. So impressive that I'm trying to figure out if there is a trick or is he just skillful.

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago

Apparently this is in a market in Bangkok, so he's just skillful.

Or it’s all the coffee and milk slime he’s standing in.

No reason? Ever see a little film called "Cocktail"?

Yeah, me either.

Dunno why you're getting downvoted, it's a garbage format that needs to be retired. It adds nothing of value.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

They hate me because I tell the truth

_druid for some reason: 😡

[–] _druid@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The joke is improved by the removal of "Nobody:", regardless of image or text, it seems. Brevity truly is the soul of wit.

[–] petrol_sniff_king@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Brevity is the soul of wit.

I removed all of the unnecessary detail for you.

You can continue to use that, I'm glad I was able to teach you something.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I was something.

Reason: tips

[–] RockstarSunglasses@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

As a bartender, the reasons are basically:

1- Tips! People like a little something fun to watch. I don't drag things out or do any big fancy tricks(flair bartending is actually illegal in this State, or so I'm told), I'm not trying to hold my line up or make anyone wait for their drink longer than necessary. That being said...

2- It also alleviates boredom for me, the one making the 30th Peach Fairy Dust Spritzer of the evening. At a certain point it's all just muscle memory anyway to make the drink itself, it's fun to do something a little different.
