I salute the work you did. Service jobs should come with military-style awards. A Purple Heart for Bravery in the Face of a Drunk Karen, for example.
Three slaps per year, doled out as you see fit.
People would get real fuckin' polite in December and January. Start-of-year, everybody's got a full magazine. End-of-year... use it or lose it.
Instead we get minimum wage. And gratuity from appreciative customers like you. Thank you for your appreciation.
No problem, I've done retail and restaurant work, but I've never bartended. I know some folks who have though, and it's really the trenches and in some ways the worst of the worst since all your customers are smashed. Yeah, y'all deserve much better pay, benefits, and protection from your patrons.
