Observational Blog 1#

I work at the bar on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. I check id’s at the door, help keep everything under control, and clean up after closing. It ends late but I enjoy the job because of the people and especially the cash. Yet on Tuesday night I observed the manners and attitudes of those that came in. It was obvious most of time pointing out an underage verses someone who is of age to drink even before they gave me their id’s. Underage kids acted nervous at times taking their fakes directly out of their pockets instead of out of a wallet. Some were too arrogant too. They seemed so overconfident at times that it was extremely easy to see that they had a fake id. Many would sit an complain for minutes after denying them normally being quite offensive and rude. Ones that were over had an attitude of their own. Many were offended when asked to present their ids. And a handful would complain and moan when they were asked to pay a $2 cover charge. I heard things like “I never pay the cover,” “I come here so much I don’t have too,” and even “ I too good to pay a cover.” All this was just ridiculous. Certainly there were several cooperative and polite ones but too many were arrogant and mean whether underage or not although the attitudes of both greatly contrasted as I pointed out.
