Fruit Salad and Mixed Veg

Apart from serving idiots and putting up with annoying people, working in a bar isn't THAT bad. You get paid well (better than a check out chick) and you sometimes get free stuff.

Free stuff:
Sometimes we have promotions at work and when there are things left at the end of the night, we can take them home.


A Jack Daniels shirt. It doesn't fit well and I'm never going to wear it, but I don't care because it was free. I can wash the cat/car with it


A Jack Daniel's hat. These hats are great Father's Day gifts.

Sometimes people leave stuff behind. If it's worth something (a jacket, proper hat, handbag) we put it behind the bar and hope they come back to collect it. If it's not worth anything (something worth $2) we know they're not going to come back to get it, so we put it into the bin or take it home (but most of the things go in the bin)


These flowers were part of a $2 headband. I took the flowers off and took them home


The security guard put this black hat on my head...so, I took it home.


Last night
I was in a quieter bar last night so I was able to talk to people. Everyone tells me their name eventhough I never remember their name.

Some girl: "You look too sweet to work here....Are you Christian?"
Me:

Some old guy orders a beer
Me: $5 please.
Old man: Oh..I'm in the band... (people in the band get free drinks)
Me: Ok...I'll just check on that *I go to the other guy behind the bar to confirm this guy is in the band*
Old man: *runs away with the beer*
*15 minutes later the old man is BACK!*
Me: Hey, you didn't pay for your beer! It's $5.
Old man: But I'm in the band...a one man band...*gets out a little flute/recorder*
Me: Noooo! Don't play that! $5!!!
He eventually got kicked out

Then there was a guy who came inside to ask where the toilets were. He was smoking insice though! (against the LAW!) I yelled at him "Hey, you can't smoke in here! Get out!" Then he put it out on the floor! Then he got kicked out

Some guy: *to me* You should really get earrings. They'd brighten up your face
Me: Err...I had earrings...but I took them out...the hole grew over...and now I'm too scared to get my ears pierced again
Some guy: You should get them pierced again. They'd brighten up your face
Me: Wont a necklace do?
Some guy: No. You need earrings
Me: Yeah so then I can look like some little kid who broke into their mum's jewelery box!
Some guy: I'd never say that!

Guy in red T-shirt: I'll have a Kahlúa and milk thanks.
Me: *pours milk into glass*
Guy in red T-shirt: Ohh Pura Skimmer! (that's what the milk is called for those who don't know)
Me: *looks at bottle* Yes, it is. 99% fat free too *reads more* ...Ideal choice to help you maintain a healthy, balanced diet...
Guy in red T-shirt: That's what it's all about. Balance. *takes a sip of drink* That tastes GREAT! Great taste!
Me: Nutella and orange is tasty too.
Guy in red T-shirt: You can afford Nutella? Well, you know, there are so many different flavours. I suppose orange and Nutella might be good.
Me: There are many tastes in this tasty world. You should write a book about it.

Aboriginal woman: Hi....I'll have a beer...
Me: We're closed. No more drinks.
Aboriginal woman: *Yeah...I know why...it's because I'm black!!
Me: No, it's because we're closed. We're not serving anyone!
Aboriginal woman: No, it's because I'm black!!!!!!!!!

My fellow bar tender tried to put my arms into some 'lock' thing which the security guards use to throw people out with. But, it didn't work on me The only way to throw me out is to physically pick me up and throw me out the window.

On my way to the bus stop I walked a pub and the security guards were sitting at a table outside, playing chess. It was really funny!

My foot has gone to sleep. Time to swap activities....eat or do homework?
