Yeah I tried to find some mods that added them to the game but they didn't seem to have any. Real shame.

People ****ing suck.

Ohh Bang! We need your creativity, and we need it yesterday!

Oh thank you for burning the midnight oil getting this for us in the morning!

Oh,, pay you?
Uh,, can you hang on til next week.. month, whenever?

**** people. I would much rather see most of them eaten than the dogs in the other thread.

Oh, and I should say, I've done work for folks on this board, and NONE of them fall into this category. You guys know who you are, and I've very much appreciated the professional manner in which you've conducted business.
You've proven to be a rarity, and it would be my pleasure to work with any of you again. Top of the list.

But most everyone else?
F them.

Yeah, about that.

See, I'm still waiting on the super complicated project I asked you to do for my website that featured insanely intricate web design and graphics that would require you to do hours upon hours of coding and animation. If my site doesn't have the cutting edge graphics I'll never get enough customers and I'll sue your ass.

AND you aren't seeing a red cent until its done mister so quit bitching and get back to work. The rest of your projects and your family time can wait. Because I'm THAT important.

Had some servers come in from Smokey Bones (reluctantly), they asked me "How are you so much faster than anyone we've ever seen behind this bar?".... I'm starting to think that I came back to my old work, not because I made a bunch of money (which I don't in comparison), but because I kept hearing about how horrible it was for my regulars to come in, to the point they stopped coming in altogether. I've heard from at least 4 people (independently) "Oh you're back at Spring Garden? We went a couple times right after you left and haven't been back, we'll make it up there soon".

People stopped coming in because they couldn't get service when the bar was almost empty (their words) and the bartenders were just talking to people or texting. That makes me angry, because I feel that my bartending reputation is based on the bar you work at. I've told people, "come back in when I'm working, the first beer's on me" because it's like they don't want to come in anymore... But then again, tonight I had 2 guys come in and say "Are you the only one working?" and when I told them "yes" they kinda debated between themselves and decided to leave. But the Smokey Bones people spent about $165 in an hour and a half, those 2 guys would have spent around $20 in 2 hours... I feel proud because that's the first time I had met them, I was busy as hell but moving fast as hell, didn't screw up on their orders, warned them that our $3.25 "lemon drops" were imitation liquor, and I could make them a real one for $6, the whole time just running around, did 40% of our night shift business from 12:30am-2am when the shift starts at 6pm. I rocked that **** out and I'm not ashamed if I come off as cocky but in the last 3 weeks I've been back at my job, I've realized I'm a damn good bartender who cares about his customers, remembers them (even after 4 months being gone to Florida), quick witted, doesn't screw the owners over by giving away drinks purposely, and I am the BEST bartender at my work. I don't use my looks to get tips, I use my theory when I go to bars, which is, "I'll tell you when that's my last beer, until then, keep that bastard full."

If I run a bar, I want aggressive drinkers not people looking for conversations and "scenery", or if it's possible to find a hardcore group of both (we had about 8 that came in every Tuesday afternoon and would spend $300-$400 every week and would leave the female bartender >$100) they've since been banned for a reason they won't talk about (I hung out with them last week, while they liked me, I wasn't the kind of bartender they wanted [told me that I might not be cute, but their beer's never empty])

Where in the hell is that "Tipping thread" this post would end that mother ****er... My place could be a great bar that is always packed, but it's not... I just wrote a plea on my FB page begging anyone who hasn't seen me to come back in. I had a guy on Thursday (our busiest night) say "Man I'm so glad you're back, I know I'll get taken care of when I come in" this is a guy who brings 10 people in every Thursday and just sells us out of Heineken, buying them 12 at a time... Has a $100 tab within 2 hours, and for the life of me never gets good service... It makes absolutely no sense to me, if someone's going to come in and drop that kind of cash, sure he might leave you $10 every time, but imagine if you take care of him and make him feel like he's the #1 person at the bar? hell, he left $15 on a $120 tab and then turned around and gave me a $20 saying "If you put this in your tip bucket I'm never coming back, put that in your pocket, I'm glad you're back" And the reason he did that was because when he came up to the bar (the 2nd time, the first time I didn't remember him till he ordered 12 Heinekens) he was the first person I went to, the 3 other bartenders were saying "Oh this guy's tab's $120, let's hope he tips this time", I scolded them so hard, I told them that maybe if they realized that he was tipping on service (this guy buys 12 beers at a time!) rather than looks, then they might get a better tip...

I'm ranting but damnit this really pisses me off... My coworkers are so concerned with "making money and getting out early" that they're blind to what their job description is... Bartender: Step 1) Serve food/alcohol to customers Step 2) Talk with customers Step 3) clean the bar.... IN THAT ORDER, unless the bar is filthy then clear plates and wipe that section of the bar... Don't ignore people at 1AM because you're wiping down the keg cooler or stocking beers that don't need to be stocked until after the bar closes... I went to class at 1:00pm Thursday left class at 5pm, during class my coworker said "Hey I'm at the pool, do you mind going in at 6pm instead of 9pm?" I had no problem with that, it was a tight window, ran into my house, showered, changed and went to work... Well when closing time came, her and the 2 other bartenders left at 3 and I ended up staying till 4:25am waiting on the cooks to finish... Like I said "Making money and getting out early"... You might think I'm a pushover, but I'm just not into workplace drama... (BTW she texted me tonight and asked "You want to come in at 6 instead of 9 tomorrow?" and I agreed because I have to open Sunday...

And another thing!!!!!!! My coworkers are allowed to wear whatever they want, hell one of my coworkers had on a backless shirt (Well it looked like a short apron with 2 ties in the back) but when I wore a button up shirt, a Hard Rock undershirt, and shorts to work, my boss tells me "You look like you just walked in off the street, if you EVER come in wearing anything like this again, I'll send you home" WHAT THE **** IS THAT? I hope to god that they've learned to appreciate me in the time I've been gone...
