Not ****ting where you eat

    How relevant is this statement to you?





    Haha, I jest, I jest! Nah, basically I've been offered a barjob in the place that I habitually get drunk (mainly because I'm too wrecked, or my friends are too wrecked to get in anywhere else). The people working there seem sound enough and I'd imagine they get an alright deal. A couple of my mates worked there before and seemed to have the craic. However, as I said, I end up there a lot when drunk.

    Take it, or find another bar where I never go?

    If you get píssed there regularly, find another bar.

    I wouldnt because firstly if you drink there, you're going to know all lot of people ... when it's get's busy they'll be coming to you looking for drink, also they'll probably pester you for freebies when they have a few in them aswell. Secondly, if you drink there regulary enough and decide to go down for a few pints on your day off, you will have to be semi-respectable and you wouldnt be able to get completely pissed. I'd go elsewhere to a pub you never go to.

    Not even, I enter the place pissed. Yeah, I think you're right.

    Move on to another place imo. Last thing you'd want is a shitty doorstep.

    I worked in a place I used to drink in, some good nights, some bad where locals who knew me (and knew me as a piss head) would insist on getting free drinks, or would completely take the piss by recalling stories of old.

    I worked in an Irish bar in Manchester where I regularly got plastered off duty. The thing was there was a significant incentive - staff were allowed a pint of any lager/stout/ale/cider for £1!!!

    This of course fuelled my penchant for gluttony so I occasionally got remarkably plastered, went to get the late bus home. However, I would often fall asleep on the bus and it would terminate in Manchester Airport. So I would go in to the terminal and go for a sandwich and a bag of Haribo. I would eat that but then fall asleep somewhere in Terminal 2 and wake up late for the 11am start the next morning and arrive in about an hour late wearing the same clothes that I had been wearing in the same bar the night before and absolutely stinking of drink.

    And that is why I would not work in a bar that I get full in.

    You'll have all your drinking buddies pestering you for cheaper drinks and double+ shots...

    ... been there, and did I ever get so drunk on the cheap, a good friend :D

    Worst part would be showing up for a session of a night and someone having called in sick and you getting asked to work. I used to work in the only cinema in the county, so inevitably when I wanted to see a movie they would be short staffed and I'd be the dumbass that feels too guilty to say no.

    Of course it's pretty fun sometimes in the cinema, when the lobby is stuffed and you show up in your everyday clothes only to be asked to save the day, and not really have to give a **** what you do or say as often there wouldn't even be time to clock in! :D

    Telling the 15 year olds to fook off when they want to see Superbad is exhilerating in a sort of powertripping sense!

    Long story short, i flirted my ass off with the girls in work. more than one thought she was in for a good thing. in a drunken haze one night i told 3 of them to meet me the next day for lunch in the same place. and i didn't show, they got together and realised what happened. Work was awkward until i left.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,729 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    pfft. the bar i used to work in frequently had employees getting all kinds of crunk in there. Not much issue really.
