Now I'm not going to go on about the obvious plus that you get to flirt with georgeous lasses who order weak arse drinks, that's an obvious per, however there are also just as many, if not more, monsters out there!!
What I'm talking about is something I've mastered throughout high school and college - "People watch".
You see all sorts of horrendus things such as dances and fight, but that's expected with all the alcohol, I'm guilty of that myself and I'm sure White Lightning and the Chief are also guilty!
This particular perk I'm talking about is the classic "Nerd tries to pull girl obviously out of his league". This guy was at the party tonight at the club I work at, definitely under the legal rinking age but I didn't care I cba ID'in ppl cos it's just a small club. He had his eye on this lass who as I said was definitely way out of his league. I got a good look at her when I served her, pretty face, nice smile, big baps, firm arse. You know the type lads, not the best fish in the sea but still a good catch.
The charade went on as the night progressed, I kept my eye on it as I saw "banter potential" in the situation. The band started to play the classic party anthem such as The Final Countdown and Newy York New York. But to my surprise they started playing some real classics such as Twist & Shout and Johnny B. Goode.
The doofus, who reminded somewhat of our friend Paulgay, started doing "The Twist" dance around this bird, who played along with a somewhat redundant smile. Everywhere she went he followed.
Eventually they were dancing and he hobbled along to sit down on his own. Knee problem I gathered, but then I thought this cheeky cunt is trying to work the sympathy role.
He eventually gave up as she was having none of it, dancing with her girlfriends.
I just had to laugh as he bailed out of New York New York due to his "bad knee".
The most rewarding part of the night was when the bar was closed and he asked for two Bailey's with ice, I replied "No the bar's closed mate", but in my mind I said, "No you fucking can't, the fridge has its light out, all the beer tap's have been covered so hop to fuckin skip!"
Just thought you'd like to know why being a barman has its occasional, funny rewards.
