For a slightly less shitty one.

Tonight a customer asked me why I took so long getting him a Taxi, and I told him "If you want to get through to them quickly, dig yourself a fucking tunnel.", and also a drunk biker told me to remember his face when he comes back to cut me up, and I said "No worries, you fuckin know where I work, mate!".

I also told all of the staff who were drinking slowly after drink-up time had expired to "Fuck off" and when they asked what the problem was I said "You Lot".

Being in the one pub for 18 months is too much. It's a fairly brainless trade, but I know I need to be challenged by learning what new customers drink, and dealing with staff whom I don't find incompetent. The bosses are out of town, and I'm thinking about crashing my car into the front of the pub.

I remember some old lady asked me to ring her a taxi and I just totally forgot and she was there for 2 hours 45 mins. She didn't say a thing. Having apologised profusely, my boss just said "Nevermind bab, old bint is going to be dead soon anyway." (!)

Why not move on from the pub trade completely Kid Pernestable?

I don't know what's worse. Your job in dealing with drunks or my job, dealing with stupid sober people with guns.

I love it. It's in me blood, as you could understand.

I've just spent the last year trying to improve a business that the owners have no interest in improving. They piss all their profits away. It's something I would do too, if I owned a pub. I'd probably spend less time bitching about not making any money though.

So in this case, I've invested far more energy in the position than would ever be necessary. I'll work for another mob, perhaps just as a barman,
then do some lock-ups and opens and bookwork shit, until they feel like they need me to step up. Plus, I need flexibility in terms of my studies. Being old and nearly married, I need the dough. I'm not good enough at anything else.

Generally, I'm the best thing to happen to most pubs I work at.

I'm glad I got to wig out on the ones who most deserved it, though. Handing in my notice tomorrow.(y)

I worked a few pubs in the U.K, even ran one. It's not the same as it is in this particular part of Australia. Women are either really patronising or really whorish, and dudes assume you're gay because you don't shovel shit all day. None which bothers me much, but there are days when they make their disdain fairly apparent.

On an unrelated occasion, one bloke in the Aussie 'Stubbie' shorts (short shorts, basically) was giving me real shit, so I cut his piss off, and told him to leave. When he asked why, I said that he needs to go home and put on some pants, he can't come in just wearing undies. The bar flipped out.

Seems I really needed to share.(n)

You should go out in style Kid. Get wasted and stand on the bar and piss into the crowd then puke on the biker's face and then find the taxi guy and run him over with a taxi.

Sounds like a lofty career objective: "To wipe the asses of a slightly more constipated clientele."

Bar crew get respect where you're from compared to here, I'm sure. I could work in a club, but I'm not keen on sleeping the next day till 4pm.

Yeah bottleshops are easier to work in customer wise. But you guys dont have to unload pallets and pallets of grog onto shelves, into trucks and out the back storeroom in a day.

eh, mine was better. More original. Except for when he finds the taxi guy and after running him over he should tell him that it was over 30 minutes and this ride is for free.

Wait, that's for pizza delivery. Still that would be great though.

hmmm, as I recall, it was just reactionary. A matter of maybe 1.5 seconds as compared to the all mighty mind of Walt Disney which took proably 5 months and 50 gallons of Starbucks doing retakes of script "fuck you, fuck you" wait, cut...........
