wednesday. ladies night. $1 frozen margaritas to the girls our bar deems worthy-a.k.a. white. ladies night, is one of the most irritating drink specials of all time. let's give super-cheap, super-strong margaritas to the already poor-tipping faction of the population, get them too drunk, too fast. let's play gwen stefani and get them to dance on that bar like strippers on their first night on the job. let's also surround them by men who are not getting the same special, therefore consuming far less alcohol and creating a horribly uneven playing field on which ex-sorority girls stumble into the arms of anyone who will provide someting stable to hang onto and beg to be taken care of/home/anywhere but here. let's pull out the beer bong, jolly rancher shots and whip cream for the REALLY hot girls (aka girls the two male bartenders want to fuck that night either downstairs in the walk-in cooler or after hours in the party room bathroom.) it's brilliant from a business standpoint-boys go where drunk girls are. drunk girls+boys looking for drunk girls=$$ for the bar, bartenders. it's appalling and disgusting from any other standpoint-drunk girls+slightly less drunk boys=rape.
i love bartending. i hate bartending. last saturday when i was standing on the bar during the 1,734th time i've heard "pour some sugar on me" in the last 5 years, alternately pouring a bottle of bud light and sugar all over some guy getting high-fived and ridiculously over-tipped by all of his friends, making enough money to pay my rent in 9 hours, i loved it. today, knowing that i am going to have to endure 9 hours of serving banana/strawberry/papaya margaritas, keep drunk girls in too tight jeans from falling off the bar while breaking it down to PCD's "Don'tcha Wish Your Girlfriend Was Hot Like Me," while attempting to make enough money to pay my health insurance and make up for the fact i am taking saturday night off to actually have a real weekend night like the rest of the world, i hate it.
it could be worse. i could be a waitress.
