Around the dinner table, the conversation was lively. Thank you but for now, the forum has been archived.
We do well at miserable bar staff. Most people would rather be brain surgeons, astronauts or movie stars than serve drinks. In their heads, that's what the people shoving beer at you really are. Thing is, they hate their jobs and by extension, you as well.
Not so when you go to a local pub, where it's probably run by family and friends. Even then, though, people can be unfriendly if you're not a regular, or even from the region.
We're a nation of miserable bastards, it's a fact. ?
Have you ever been to Long Island? 🙂
Nup. TX and OK only.
Mary's been getting a rough treatment the entire sesason, whoever she is.
Boy 1956 tells Girl 1956 that he just broke up with Mary prior to them finding the lucky coin that leads to the Frog-Moth impregnation.
Isn't the Horne family maid named Mary?

Bartending is a very hard job. A professional juggler would be best at it. In many areas of the US, the job has been made more stressful by tough drunk driving laws which make businesses and staff liable for alcohol-related incidents from accidents to homicides. The allowed blood alcohol content is so low that I don't see how bartenders can earn much without "overserving" by legal BAC standards.
The local pub was created before the automobile, when men walked to it after work. Sometimes I don't think there should be any such thing as a bar in the modern world. Drink at home.
