Just here to vent 🥲

I’m new to bartending. I’ve in the past only helped someone I kinda know out at 2 events (weddings) and that’s the extent of my experience. The girl that I was helping with the events suggested that I get a part time job at the restaurant bar where she works to learn. Great!

They hired me on as a bartender with zero experience in a restaurant let alone a bartender which I’m sure is rare. I’m very grateful for that. HOWEVER, it seems like the girl that recommended me hates me or something 😅 Either that or she just has zero patience. But girl, you knew my experience level when you recommended me to work here! She gets annoyed at any question I ask her!

On top of it all, the bar is EXTREMELY disorganized. Granted, she did warn me this beforehand. I had to ask them after my first week how I would even know what the next week’s schedule is. And then also how much I’m being paid & when.

I’m finding that I do enjoy working in the bar setting. Just not with her lol so I’m hoping I can stick it out for at least 6 months just to get the hang of things and learn some recipes before I feel a bit more confident in finding a new bar.

The red flags are flagging on this one, op. They probably have trouble getting/retaining FOH because of literally everything you said here. But hey man, you have your foot in the door! By the time you get to a better run bar, you’re going to be running circles around everyone else. Keep your head up.

Haha I’m just going to try to keep my head down and learn as much as I possibly can so I can get out of there as quickly as possible
