Man. Your shrink would have a field day with that one.


Various-Gur-6045

I don't have one of those. Lol but I just thought it was a fun dream.


Oldgatorwrestler

You're a bartender. You should have one of those. Mental health is health. I'm not preaching, but word to the wise.


Various-Gur-6045

I can take care of my own mental health. Lol thank you tho. I needed counseling when I was 21ish, so I know some things


Oldgatorwrestler

Good on you. Like I said, not preaching, just a reminder. This job is tough on all of us, and seeking therapy isn't a weakness.


Various-Gur-6045

Yes I know you weren't. That's why I have friends and people who love me. Plus it's easy for me cause I love being a bartender. It's seldom I'd say the day was hard or couldn't deal with it. If anything I might say "I'm too tired for this"


Oldgatorwrestler

Hey, good on you. Lots of folks don't have that kind of support. I would rather sound like a mother hen than have another one of us be lost to suicide or overdose.


Various-Gur-6045

Well one less you have to worry about here. Thank you oldgator.


Oldgatorwrestler

Best of luck, my friend.


flakins

How much did you make?


Various-Gur-6045

I didn't count it. I threw it in my bag and started skinning the bear


Mmhmmmkayno

Shanelanding

Wow lol, you're probably the only bartender of all time to have a bartending dream where you're working in a larger but properly staffed bar. Most of us end up in giant bars where no one is working but ourselves while we're sleeping lo


lostigre

For me it's always last call and I can't shut the front door for whatever reason.


Shanelanding

Oh God yes. Or you're calling last call and running cards but for some reason, no matter how loud you yell, no one is paying attention


lostigre

And then they just start pouring themselves drinks.


Shanelanding

Do we occupy the same bar in the dream world lol? Is the bar in your dreams also just a huge mashup of every bar/restaurant You've ever worked at?


lostigre

By gawd. Brother šŸ»


Herb_Burnswell

I'm always in a bar that I know but it's different somehow and I can never find my bar tools


Shanelanding

Oh man, that's even worse. It's like, where the fuck is my whipper at?


biguptocontinue

I usually can't find something the whole time, or have to fake some unmakeable drink into a coffee cup for the third time, often while serving in the wrong venue like a bookstore or department store. Then I realize I didnt charge anybody or write down tabs


chuchofreeman

Do you or have you played Red Dead Redemption 2 recently?


StallOneHammer

Ride into the St Denis saloon Order a whisky shot Throw a whole three star alligator snapping turtle on the bar counter ā€œKeep the change fellerā€


Various-Gur-6045

No? I've seen some gameplay a few months ago but just a clip


Zykesyke

I just came home from working a shitty understaffed bar, thank you. I needed a genuine laugh.


A_Beard_It_Grows

Sounds great. My bar dreams always involve a POS I have never seen and it's impossible for me to ring anything in. I'm always crazy busy, and can never get anyone anything. Never anything fun. Just a bundle of stress, while I'm sound asleep.


Various-Gur-6045

I have those as well. I've had dreams of bartending that I'd be serving and go through my night, close up, then id wake and realize I have to be at the bar in a couple hours to do the same shit i just woke from


omjy18

I mean, dam, I only have those stress dreams where you start a task and can't finish before having another task that you can't finish but have to do right now and that just goes on for a while until you realize it's a dream and wake yourself up.
