The Messy Mixologist
.......TOTIE
FROM HIGH SCHOOL TOTIE WENT TO WORK AS AN ACCOUNTANT FOR BENDIX WESTINGHOUSE. A SHORT TIME LATER, TOTIE BECAME A RESTAURANT MANAGER, WHICH LASTED FIVE YEARS. HOWEVER, ONE SATURDAY NIGHT WHILE TOTIE WAS WORKING FOR THE 'CHANGE' CLUB AS A GLASS BOY, MARY SAID; "TONIGHT YOUR GOING TO BE A STAR, YOU'RE WORKING BEHIND THE BAR." THE REST IS HISTORY.
THE NEXT THOUSAND LINES ARE ONLY PART OF TOTIE, THE PART YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT.
Z........TOTIE, WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO WORK FOR MARY AND BOB? TOTIE....IT WAS GREAT. AND MOST OF WHAT THEY TAUGHT ME I STILL USE. OF COURSE WE HAD DIFFERENCES OF OPINIONS BUT I WAS YOUNG AND STILL LEARNING.
Z........WERE BOB AND MARY RELATED?
TOTIE....NO, THEY WERE GOOD FRIENDS AND THEY WORKED TOGETHER FOR 33 YEARS. A STRONG RELATIONSHIP THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN.
Z.....
..HOW HAVE CUSTOMERS CHANGED SINCE, SAY, WHEN YOU FIRST STARTED TEN YEARS AGO? TOTIE....IT USED TO BE A HELL OF A LOT OF FUN. YOU DIDN'T HAVE ALL OF THE FIGHTING THAT YOU HAVE NOW. IT USED TO BE ALL GAY, RARELY ANY STRAIGHTS. IT USED TO BE HIGH CAMP. THAT HAS CHANGED, TODAY ITS THE MANLY IMAGE AND PEOPLE DON'T DRESS LIKE THEY USED TO. I CAN REMEMBER WHEN WE WOULD HAVE A DIFFERENT OUTFIT EVERY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. NOW, ITS BLUE JEANS AND T-SHIRTS. WHAT DO YOU FEEL MAKES A GOOD BARTENDER?
TOTIE....ONE HAS TO BE FAST AND HAVE A PERSONALITY AND YOU MUST BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR CUSTOMERS.
.DO CUSTOMERS ASK YOUR PERSONAL ADVICE? DO YOU GIVE IT TO THEM? TOTIE....YES THEY DO. AND YES I DO. I TRY TO TELL THEM WHAT I FEEL. Z........HAS ONE LOVER EVER ASKED YOU IF HIS LOVER WAS IN THE BAR THE NIGHT BEFORE, AND/OR WAS HE ALONE OR WITH SOMEONE?
TOTIE....OH YES. Z........DO YOU TELL THE CUSTOMERS THE TRUTH?
TOTIE....OH NO, NEVER. THE BEST THING TO SAY IS, "I DON'T KNOW."
Z.....
OTHER
WISE YOU CREATE A PROBLEM AND THOSE CUSTOMERS MAY NEVER COME BACK AGAIN. IT USUALLY GETS OUT OF HAND AND THEY BLAME YOU. BECAUSE OF THE RECENT ECONOMY CRUNCH DO YOU FEEL ITS HURTING THE BAR BUSINESS?
TOTIE....YES. Z..... .DOES IT APPEAR TO YOU THAT THERE ARE MORE GAYS ON UNEMPLOYMENT? TOTIE. ..YES. ..DOES IT AFFECT THEIR SPENDING?
Z....
TOTIE. ..YES AND THEIR TIPPING AND THEY DON'T COME IN AS OFTEN. Z..... HOW BUSY DOES IT GET FOR THE COCKTAIL HOUR? TOTIE. Z...
.IT USED TO BE EVERY NIGHT, NOW ITS TWO OR THREE NIGHTS A WEEK. IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT WHEN TOTIE DRINKS, HE'S EITHER NASTY AND/OR VIOLENT. WHAT ARE YOUR COMMENTS? TOTIE....THATS NOT ALWAYS TRUE. IT HAS HAPPENED ON OCCASION. THERE ARE ALWAYS SMART ASSES. IF I AM DRINKING ON THESE OCCASIONS THAN I CAN BE NASTY. BUT THATS ONLY WHEN A CUSTOMER PROVOKES OTHER CUSTOMERS.
Z........DO CUSTOMERS EGG YOU ON INTENTIONALY?
TOTIE....DO THEY EVER. I THINK THEY REALLY GET A KICK OUT OF SEEING ME
Z......
MOUTH OFF.
.DO CUSTOMERS GET MAD AT YOU AND NEVER TALK TO YOU AGAIN? TOTIE....NO, ITS USUALLY IN FUN. HOWEVER, I DO TAKE MOST EVERYTHING TOO PERSONAL. AND SOMETIMES I HURT MYSELF BY DOING THIS. I'M GETTING BETTER.
