When your tour of duty is completed, don't hang
around; get out at once.
Always be on time; remember the otlier man gets
tired, too.
Don't shake dice or play games of chance with
customers.
Familiarity breeds contempt; don't get too chum
my with people on short notice.
Look out for the hangers on; they are always
knockers.
Keep your cash register correct; then you will
not have to blame your partner
Always serve a customer with a dry glass.
If you happen to be alone in the place don't allow
the porter to serve customers at the bar.
Let the customers have all the arguments among
themselves; a good listener is a wise man.
When serving plain drinks, always put a dry glast:
on the bar, with a side glass of ice water or what
ever water is desired.
Always allow the customer to help himself from
the bottle or decanter.
When in doubt consult this bar guide; it will help
you out of many a hole and keep you up to date.
