Tonight was a weird night. I had a ton of fun working, the customers were a blast, and it was an easy night for drinks, mostly just beer. But the entire evening just had an odd feeling to it. Almost festive, like everyone that walked in was celebrating something.
I do wanna talk about something though, the jukebox. Every bar has one, its a keystone of the establishment. I don't think that any bar in the world could make it without some kind of music, and a jukebox definitely serves that purpose. Our jukebox has a mix of all kinds of music, rock, rap, pop, and country. But we have mostly the latter of those, and I am NOT a fan of country. So it just goes to say when we have a crowd like tonight (good crowd, fun group of people) they love to play the jukebox. The problem is that i've heard all the songs on this thing a thousand times. If I have to hear Black Betty one more time, I might kick the glass in on that damned jukebox. I think every bartender feels this way. I dread that jukebox more than anything else in this place.
On a good note though, I got asked to bartend a wedding. Any ideas on how much I should charge for me to do this? It sounds like a great oppritunity, but I don't want to do it for free.
Drink of the Day: Oatmeal Cookie (Tastes just like one)
1/4 oz Cinnamon Schnapps
1/4 oz Butterscotch Schnapps
1/4 oz Bailey's
1/4 oz Jagermeister
Usually a shot, but can be served as a mixed drink, milk can also be added to cut the taste.
The infamous Oatmeal Cookie. Mmss. I'm not sure how much you should charge, but go in there looking stunning and hopefully looks of people will tip you. (P.S. get some sleep before you do it. :P)
