Bartenders have an interesting job — it’s one of the few jobs where it’s basically accepted to be grumpy sometimes (or all the time, at some bars). People have to wait for them, because they want their booze. They’re frequently opinionated. Sometimes, they have a point.

Overheard of the Week

At Murphy’s Grand Irish Pub in Old Town:

A waitress takes the order of a table.

Waitress to table: “What can I get for you guys?”
Table orders Harp, a water, Sam Adams, Bud Light.
Waitress to bartender: “Hey, I need a Harp, a Sam Adams and a Bud Light.”
Bartender mutters to himself: “Bud Light? Who the fuck orders a Bud Light?!”

After the jump, kids, romance, and other stuff.
