at the bar 2023

At the Minneapolis airport bar 2023

Ordered a Premo and a sandwich. Both were delicious. Then the bartender informs me that he brought me the wrong sandwich and then brings me a second, correct sandwich. I take this as a sign and order another Premo.

I’m sitting outside under the awning of the bar. It’s raining. “You’re crazy” the bartender said

Wasted @ 220
Hello!

Sun feels so good on my bald spot lol

Remembered last night that working weekend means sometimes ppl show up already several drinks deep to wasted. I’d never serve anyone who was obviously impaired but it’s hard to tell sometimes. Last night this lady (late 50s?, spoke at top volume 100% of the time, talked my ear off about Edgar Winter??) and a man who appeared to possibly be her internet date (a little younger, asked for MGD) showed up and were among the last people to leave the place. She went up to go to the bathroom and he strolled directly out of the building and left. I went home before she came back so idk what happened to her. Now I’m lightly haunted by it. This doesn’t happen to me much but it does happen.

People occasionally show up wasted during the week too but more when we’re open later.

Bartender is on Bandcamp

@Lech I often arrive knee-deep

The good transaction is 3 rounds at rate with a 2/5 beer/drink tip ratio, 4th on the house with a 2x tip

All the lesbians are leaving
Probably my fault

Piano tuner checks his work by playing some Billy Joel

smh

Long night but it ended with patrons walking out and leaving $40 on the bar as they left “for the person who cleans the bathrooms” which…was us this time. I didn’t have to do it but there was puke on the walls. That’s all good night.

“Your music sucks!” I said to the dj

It’s true. It sucks

3 ipas, then 3 stouts

Left umbrella at bar yesterday
Came back today, they gave me a similar one (“we have 30 umbrellas behind the bar, just take this one”)
Left that umbrella behind today

George Costanza just took that one

used to frequent a bar that had a rotation of hoodies like that

At a certain bar the servers start spraying disinfectant at the bottom of their fridges clearly they think I’m A spy for the the doh

Honestly it’s enough to be in the presence of some of these servers

Now she’s cleaning surfaces that have never been cleaned uhh

go home

Smell of kaya in the air

objectifying service employees (even -- especially? -- with a pseudonym on a message board) is a violation of the social contract and i am not here for it

Porter deep dive

yuppies and fags like me, good god i’ve been here too long lmfao

Trans support bud light buycott in progress

“I have no idea what I’m doing here what’s going on?”

mantra: remember tomorrow

In place of a buy back, the bartender offered me a shot. “No thanks” I waived him off. “Coffee?” He offered. I shook my head. “You don’t like coffee?”

Cooped up with the flu since Wednesday, finally back on the beat today

During the pandemic it was standing room only outside and I’m keeping the habit

The flying insect that I saved from drowning in my beer and then flicked off my table is now heroically climbing up the wall drunk off its ass
#survivor

Bartender tells me I’m “going for a record” but he is misinformed

The insect you saved is probably dead now

older guy hitting on me claims to have been the second to last king of Iraq in a past life. his son was the last. he's never heard of Archy & Mehitabel. "sounds Kafkaesque"

Sounds like a good time to go to the next bar

I’ve been standing around lately but some songs when they come on just crush me and force me into a seat

like what?

xp yep, i humored him while covertly texting my tardy pal to meet at a different bar. the guy was drunk tbf.

zen bar life 2023

I was at an oyster bar 2nite and the bartender bought my second beer so I could power through the rest of the dozen, it was heaven

Oysters and beer is a heavenly combination
