When I worked for a big hotel company, people didn't care about the bartender. While I was there, the cooks received a small tip and said they never received one. I think it depends where you are bartending. Party with drunk people? Yeah that's your scenario. Rich people that only look/talk to you to ask for something, my case and maybe anons case. I didn't find anything racist, tho. Would like to know what is racist/xenophobic.
That sounds like exactly the "bullshit stereotype lifted straight from a movie" that you're trying to pin on others.
Real life isn't a Billy Joel song. All that 99 out of 100 people need from a bartender is "What can I get you?" followed by getting it.
Even more bizarrely, do you honestly think that a stranger who is drunk and oversharing qualifies as a friend? Do you think therapists have patients, or do you think they've just got a lot of super cool friends they hang out with all day?
When I was a cook in west Hollywood I was basically the only white dude in the kitchen. Honestly was the best time I had with coworkers while I was there. They were hard, good, and funny workers. One night after a super stressful shift one of the other cooks was giving me a ride home and we stopped at a gas station he came back with two 40's and said "this is for the relax". I'll never forget that crew.
