How do you collect glasses at a bar?

Postoffice123

Sorry it's a stupid question..but there's a right way to do everything, right? Just want to know how to do it properly! I'm always holding them an awkward way that makes it easy for them to fall and break.. Do you stack them up or what?

Thanks !!

Just use your fingers, they are going to be washed so it doesn't matter a damn. Do it regularly, any time you leave a table make sure there aren't any empty glasses left there.

Long long ago in a foreign land I was told not to stack the glasses because of the danger of the bottom ones fracturing and inflicting bodily harm, the answer was to collect less of them but more often.

Exec summary, only lazy barstewards have a need to stack glasses

Just wondering what milk does to glasses?

Lactic acid, kills a head worse than a person worse with rotten teeth.

And if any of them have milk in them, fcuk them into either the kitchen or the bin. Nothing wrecks a glass like milk, even one in the dishwasher will contaminate the whole batch.

Consult your training manual.

Practice holding 4 glasses in 1 hand balancing one on each finger tip and using your palm as a back rest and your thumb as a counter balance.

One you've mastered this you can carry 70 or 80 glasses.

I'm 17 and have thin fragile fingers no way hahaha

Are we talking about collecting or delivering?

Delivering-

3 half glasses resting in one palm or 2 hands around 3-4 pints.

Ah nuts

A ruck sack with some bubble wrap is the best way to get them outside unnoticed and unbroken.

Where I come from, we're more concerned with hashing out drink than worrying about made up rules.

Normal glasses can be stacked, hand underneath bottom and have them resting on arm up to your shoulder.

So many different pint glass heights and shapes these days so easiest way is to use fingers

Like pint glasses, half glasses, normal glasses ..

You need a good palm. Practice holding three glasses in the palm of your hand (two pint glasses) and then add in ones to it until you have a good handful. Then practice the same with a tray until you're able to carry a good fifty or sixty in one go. It's all about practice.

The only right way to do it involves not breaking many. You can do fancy collecting and stacking in an empty pub during the day. Different rules apply in a crowded bar with drunks tottering hither and thither - then it's just damage prevention.

Learn how to hold two pint glasses in one hand, both side by side and the bases of the glasses resting on your spread fingers, with your hand slightly cupped.
Once you can do that, it makes everything a lot easier.
