My 18yr old trainer , Ajli, deftly took theCustomer's order, scooping up a 12oz cup when first heard from theBoys lips, "Quad Mocha, medium,, no... Large" ... Her practiced hands change directions faster than theRegularJoe changed his mind and replaces the smaller cup and picks up the larger size-theVenti while her other hand had fished out her blackMarker from her pocket and already uncapped it, turned it around and capped theEnd (one handed, even I can't do that) "4 M", Whip" she scribbl...

good morning everyone. It's Fri 26 Sep 2008 and today's starting out really super!! Being that it's cold outside, and some cars up and down the street, outside theAptHouse here, have frost on their windows, Winter is coming!! Lately theJob searching has taken a sweet turn, Literally!! I had been applying to some name brand coffeehouses locally and then got referred to some "Licensee-use / Licensed to Use a Name brand" places and then finally got picked up by CARRS / SAFEWAY stores and sent out to one of their Anchorage stores to work as a Barista. I'm so happy. I'm glad to be working again, and very happy to be in an CustomerService oriented profession. Long term wise, I'm going to be doing theCoffeeHouse work and get a Bartending gig too once I can handle two work schedules. What intrigues me about theAlcohol shots, specifically theFloater / Layered drinks are the ones that go with coffee . Last month in BarStars Professional Bartending School cla...

Having recently passed theBarTender! !Exam, a daunting and complex standardized litany for Lushes!!, theSam!! proudly, if not staggeringly and brazenly waves his theBarTenderSchool!!Exam certificate at everyone. Among theColorful and Flavorful settings of theBarTendingExam’s debonair lair!! somewhere in theCity!!, theSam!! was unleashed to “follow his Nose!!” sometime during that first week of class. unfortunately, theKarateKidz!! in the neighboring businessPark module got to kick Sam!! ’s ass when theInebriate!! followed his Nose out theBarTenderSchool classroom, down theHall, around and Up theStairs to where theKarateKidz!! were posing and smashing and kicking...... things............stuff. see, theSam!! was just following his Nose when it lead him to “Unwashed, sweaty, salty HOT gorgeous WhiteWoman Instructor!!” when instead his Nose should have stayed in thePinoGrez bottle that theBartenderInstructor had just uncorked for theFumbleFingers!! ,...

Please understand that most people behind the bar are aware of your presence, they'll get to you eventually. .....and, Just hold a slice of CheeseCake!! to get Sam!!'s attention. d:oD ------------------------------------ How to get the bartenders attention!!! 10 BIG WAYS TO GET A BARTENDERS ATTENTION!! Big Ways to Get A Bartender's Attention! 1 - Climb onto the bar and wave like an ADHD toddler to get your 5th Ketel (like you can taste the 3 dollar difference, Captain Yupptastic) and Red Bull and revel in your true originality. That wins brownie points. We'll be right there. Can't wait. I'll bring the party hats. 2 - Wave so you knock into other people spilling their drinks.
