The bar business is like backgammon. No two games will ever be the same… No two shifts will ever be the same.

That time I kicked out 16 motorcycle gang members that set up a pop-up meth shop in the bar bathroom and almost got my arm cut off for ‘touching the leather.’ NEVER! Touch the leather.

That time I cleaned up after a man’s son that wallpapered the bathroom with puke and the hallway to get there. After tripping in his son’s puke and falling on his back in it, the man tipped $100 and said sorry. I slid the tab back and said, ‘You forgot a zero.’

That time I told Keanu when he bought his own island with his own bar, he could stay open as long as he wanted but, in the meantime, it was time to go.

That time I asked Ryan Gosling how his sister was doing which promptly short-circuited his brain functioning. People only ask Ryan about Ryan. (He’s cool).

That time I had an LAPD pistol in my face trying to get a GF safely out the door during a 100-person riot. High heels are weapons.

That time I lit my hand on fire to wave goodbye in a flashy manner, but the flames didn’t go out fast enough. One week off because the wounds were too gross to serve drinks with.

That random Tuesday afternoon where I met my fiancée. She slipped me her number. Without any background, we both took a chance. Twelve years later… we start each day laughing.

Hi EZ.

Fascinating thread. Some really interesting flashes of the bar life. Even without the celebrity content it would be great.

Best of luck in the Thread challenge.
