Bottoms Up! Blog

Male patrons:

Yes. It’s true, unfortunately or fortunately, females do pull more tips then men. Why? Is it because women are more professional? Yeah right. Lets get to the bottom of this. Now remember, this is only my opinion - ladies im not against you - but lets face the facts: when a man sees an attactive female bartender automatically his brain switches to flirting instead of just ordering the damn drink. On occassion, if she flirts back, he might splurge an extra 5, 10, or 20 spot. Conversly, when he sees a male bartender… he’ll say “hey, thanks for the beer here’s your buck!”

Female patrons:

Unless the male bartender is really hott! Woman aren’t the one who splurge dollars just to get noticed. Not that women are cheap, but, I think that most women feel that they can get his attention with just a smile, flash of personality or cleavage instead of throwing a dollars at him. Although i’ve had plenty of experiences with generous female customers. Usually its the girls who pull more tips.

I think, in this, females win, due to the fact that woman dont’t tip men as much, yet receive more tips from men. In both by working or sitting at the bar.

I hope this musters up the fight in you to comment on this article. Let us know your feed back, so all of us can benefit from this. As this is not a male, female battle but a united bartenders’ battle. Bottoms Up!

So, I had this absolutely fabulous idea.

My uncle has this bartending services business, and I, have been working as a bar back at a Hialeah bar & grill, which I will not mention at this moment, mostly, because I do not have the financial backing to put together a defense team if something I say causes them pursue legal action; anyway’s, naturally one can see the connection. We both have cocktail experience. Sure mines is more of the sipping variety, but that is not important. What is important is that a series of images started to roll through my head: me flipping bottles, woman throwing their bras at me, having to resort to asking people to rent their pockets so I can carry my tips home. It’s all so sweet. It’s also going to happen too. You see,  in my head I reasoned that I knew what will separate us from the competition, besides having a company name that has sexual innuendo, we will have a web site and a blog. Surely, the business will start rolling in.  

I went home grabbed a pen and pad and…

What does one write a bar blog about? I couldn’t think of anything. Seriously, how can I talk “blow jobs”, “sex on the beach”, and “slippery nipples” and sound like a professional businessman? I can’t. Then it dawned on me: I can’t for the same reasons that shots aren’t called “board meetings”, “stock portfolios”, or “proposals”; because when people talk about first quater numbers at bars, they want to know their fantasy running-back stats not sales reports. 

I know that he doesn’t care how a cosmopolitan is made, he just wants to know how many will he have to order to get the leggy-brunette in bed. And she wants to know how can she ditch him after he has bought her and her friends drinks all night. That is what I will be writing about. Reporting my social on the field observations. Entertaining the masses in the process.

This is the first of many. I am uncensored. Here as your tour guide.
