1. A psychic barback, who knows all things to come. The MVP of the whole operation. THe one who has the bottle of Grey Goose opened with a speed pourer and slides it into my hand while I am making a drink. A barback, who looks at the tickets on the service bar, without pulling them and gets me all of the glassware, beer and wines for all the drinks I need to make in the middle of a 300 cover happy hour. Who is always pleasant and hugs. Whom I swear has an S on his chest or at least shaved into their chest hair.
Stop shaking your head in disbelief!!! Such a thing exists!
His name is Ricardo and when I work I think I am slightly in love with him. (when I work;) lol. I watch him and a tear slowly runs down my cheek from pride and amazement. He would make a killer bartender. Go Ricardo!! (ay papi!)
Oh wait!! Did I mention he makes a KILLER guacamole?!?
And I will never give him up.
I will take him everywhere I go by bribery and bedroom eyes, hahaha. No really.
2. Is the guest who doesn't complain, nor takes your time, doesn't modify their order, can handle their alcohol and tips at least 50%.
Oh well, one out of two ain't bad!!!
NOTHING is better than a killer barback! They can make or break your night! Nothing worse than depending on someone who drops the ball!!!
ReplyDeleteHow I wish I had a barback like that, I had but he was just too good and quickly made the step up to bartender. If you have a good barback tip him extra and he'll always tend to your needs first, it'll be worth it trust me!
