Add source While every bartender and waiter has their own approach to dealing with customers, they can all make a lasting impression. But whether it's good or bad depends on a lot of factors.

To learn more about what goes into making customers happy, we contacted Danil Nevsky, the founder and CEO of the Indie Bartender Company, an organization that strives to inspire and support fearless and enthusiastic bartenders who want to advance as independent professionals. He said that being a bartender is like being a discount psychologist plus a pharmacist, morphed into an actor on stage at an improv theatre while being shouted at by waiters, the kitchen staff, the guests, and the owner all at the same time.

"Those that end up doing this for a living are definitely into masochism and, if anything, are probably the most caring and educated people you will ever meet."
Nevsky said there is a saying about bartenders that goes like this: "The bartender is the aristocrat of the working class." He doesn't look at the phrase as something pretentious or having anything to do with financial wealth. Instead, he thinks it's about people.

The man would come in and usually just drink straight whisky but I managed to earn his trust and slowly introduced him to some classic cocktails such as the Manhattan, Boulevardier, and Rob Roy. When he learned that I would be leaving at the end of the month, he told me he works at the airport and that I should let him know when my flight was so he can come and say his goodbyes," the bartender recalled.

"If you have to choose between spending money on a bartending course and making money working a shift as a bar-back or a cocktail server, choose to work," Lynnette Marrero, a bartender, mixologist, and a co-founder of the world's first all-female speed bartending competition, 'Speed Rack, told Cosmopolitan. That being said, certain classes, like the Beverage Alcohol Resource (a well-respected accreditation that teaches you all about spirits), are valuable. But they still aren't the same as real-life practice.

Even though servers aren't athletes, injuries like tennis elbow, tendinitis, and carpal tunnel are all fairly common in bartenders, thanks to mixing heavy shakers above your head all night. As you can imagine, it's exhausting to work 10-hour shifts on your feet, and your back will ache from frequently bending down to grab ingredients under the bar.

Not to mention having to entertain the customers. "Small adjustments-like wearing comfortable shoes, taking breaks to stretch your muscles, and practicing proper cocktail-shaking form-will help your body in the long run," Marrero advised. Servers also miss out on parties, Saturday night hangs, and having a normal dating life, since most people schedule plans at the same time they're grinding away.

Marrero, for example, is married to a "daywalker" (what bartenders call people with regular day-time jobs), and said that in the beginning of their relationship, it was very difficult to find time for each other. "Sometimes, you'll have to give up your best shifts to go to someone's wedding, and sometimes you'll have to miss out on something important because you can't take off work."
Marrero said there's nothing more glam than comping your friends' drinks, but bartenders should try not to make it a habit. "You have to account for those drinks (they get charged to a 'comp tab'), and it also shows that you don't view the bar as a place of business."
Of course, the staff can buy a drink for a return customer to build up a relationship, but the buy-back is not a right-it's a compliment to people who visit you regularly.

At a certain point in the night, the bar gets crazy packed and there's a deep line of people waiting to order drinks. "Some bartenders might take a quick shot at this point to deal with the stress, but I actually find that this is the best time to get in the zone.

Customers might get impatient, but you just give them a little nod to acknowledge that you see them and keep banging out drink orders. Time passes the most quickly when it's busy, and you make the most money on tips," Marrero explained. #16 TLCplMax Report Final score: 171points POST Vicky Z Vicky Z Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Who wouldn't want the super salad?

If you saddle up to their bar often, they remember what you order, and trust me, they also remember how you tip."
But due to the hectic bar atmosphere, bartenders are actually less capable of addressing their patron's personal problems as compared with other informal help-agents, such as beauticians and lawyers, who traditionally engage clients one-to-one. Bartenders, in contrast, are required to engage multiple customers simultaneously
So the next time you meet your favorite server, let them know that you value their work. Your good words will mean just as much to them as your tip.
