opening / cleaner guy is one of those people who can’t end a conversation. Super friendly and we like the same sports teams but he won’t shut up in the nicest way

It’s “instruct the new barback on the nuances of drying glasses” day

The biergarten in the county park near us has their "soft opening" today, but they went and posted about it on their fb page, which has like 16k followers, so it was a complete shit show. One Munich Gold and gtfo.

I’ve never had “Sorry, I’m gonna have to cut you off” said to me before today, but the bartender was just being sarcastic — she said I was being “too rowdy” and laughed

Did they play the whole damn song? That would be pretty awesome, as nothing brings the party like "So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone"
*Orders a half-pour of a Prairie Imperial Stout as my dessert, because a full pour at 12% is kinda insane (It's like drinking tasty motor oil).

Bartender worked with someone who had body odor and it was difficult for her. She thinks cleanliness is important, though personally, she doesn’t shower every day, because it’s bad for the skin
