As always, many apologies about my lack of posting, but I’ve been far too busy at work and expect to remain so for at least this week. That being the case, I’m going to take the so far unprecedented step of commissioning papers from our other infrequent contributors to The Taps Irish Bar Blog.
Now Gareth, I know that leading the life of an international music star isn’t easy, and that you are still writing up your own tour blog as well, so I’ll give you some leeway on this, but I’d like you to write about barman’s instinct. That first gut feeling you get when someone first walks in through that door or after the first conversation you have with them. I’d like you to write about how that instinct developed with experience and the times you’ve been both absolutely spot on and perhaps those times when you’ve been surprisingly wrong.
Now Casey, you’ve no longer got the excuse of being at University so I’m expecting a lot more from you. I’d like a piece from you following up from my previous post on the camaraderie which the bar staff share. I’d like you to try and explain it from your point of view. What it means and where did it come from.
And last but far from least, young Jade. From you I’d like to hear about our regulars (generically of course). They can be great for helping pass those slow Sunday nights and Saturday day times, but of course we can also be a complete pain in the arse at other times. So tell me what are the best things about working in a pub with regulars (as opposed to the George, say) and what are the worst things.
And remember, name no names please.
Now then people, you all have your assignments, move out and bring the thunder.
