I like the fact that I have a cool boss, I don't really speak to him that much because I don't feel like I have too. I would never fuck with the guys business, I respect any family man that works hard and is legit, so I give him good work. I hope that my working hard in silence impresses him, if he needs anything all he has to do is ask, and if I have issues with something I will find him and discuss.
Some days I come and go as I please, it's like I know what has to be done, so I am going to do that, then leave at the top of my game so that I don't give the dude shotty work from spreading myself to thin.
But I think people at work think I am a dick because I like NEVER talk, I am not trying to be rude, I just don't subscribe to the notion of making mindless chatter just because I want to hear myself, ya dig? When I work I am all about work, nothing else. I have ADHD, so I have to stay on task to get the best job done, otherwise I start spacing out. Being sober now, shutting up and staying on task is imperative to my ability to operate on a godlike level at work, it's hard out here for a pimp.
There's some real negative cats at work, which makes it meh some days, but overall that's just life. I can't really complain about much, I am just happy to be alive.

ReposadoXochipilli said: i have been stuck in the bar and restaurant business for a decade at this point, started at corporate places and have worked for a handful of private companies and seen all sorts of wild stuff in my days.
by far my most enjoyable part is pound drinks in a night club drink only environment, great money, low level of conversing with customers due to being busy, and you get to impress people with efficiency/speed/skill. i enjoy making people happy serving food as well but people generally treat you worse and tip worse when serving food in my experience. hate serving tables for 2 hours to get fucked on a tip while giving great service, tending bar they need you so they mind social boundaries a little more.
things i hate currently ;
i manage a team of 3 to 10 people depending on the night, the redundancy of telling experienced people how to better do the job and make more money only to have them revert to bad rabbits the second you are not watching.
inventory is the worst, my boss never even looks at it, it takes 5 to 8 hours to do depending on the month and there are always massive variables like point of sales improper labeling, impromptu product swaps do to paying or not paying vendors on time/promotion specials. all in all i don't mind doing the actual inventory but updating the excel sheet with new price points, delivery and amount purchased dates.
best part is i returned to this company 18 months ago (worked their previously 2 times) to replace the bar manager, then last fall i get "promoted" to mar manager/assistant general manager and promised a raise. i do a great job all through our busy season then remind them of my raise, more promises...
long story short i have all my inventories and invoices since February as ransom for my year to date hours that need my 2$ an hour added 
not my first rodeo but it sucks working for crazy people.
all in all working in a bar is light hearted 95% of the time.
what do you guys love and hate about your employment?
oh no people how thoughtless people decide to not give you money for doing your job. Who would have ever thought that a person would be pay by this thing called an employer which then sets a fixed price in order to cover ALL costs including wages.

not how things work in america, great point but that is just not the way it is here. if the service industry didn't have a commission payment system (tips) no one would give a shit to provide anything but tolerable service.
great job at coming across as an ignorant down under troll though 5/5.
and yes you are correct they decided to neglect the payment system that fucks me the person providing you with wonderful service during your meal, not the big bad (small business) restaurant. get some culture and try to not be such an assuming cunt.
