CONCERNING GLASSWARE
The bartender or saloon man who neglects his
glassware ought to go into some other business.
It is a simple matter to keep glassware not only
clean but polished, and no man's time could be spent
more profitably. Customers like to drink from
glasses which are free from even any suspicion of
dust or finger marks. Wash all glasses as soon as
possible after being used, leave them on the bench
a few moments to drain and then polish them with
a linen glass towel.
A record should be made of all glassware that is
broken for the purpose of keeping up the stock and
it is just as well if there are more than two or three
men at work, to keep a record of who does the
breaking, and when the number of glasses broken
becotnes unusually large it ought to be investigated.
Wear and tear on saloon goods means breakage of
glasses, but over certain limits the profits begin to
be affected, and the result is a leak which can only
be discovered by reference to the expense account.
Here again is where system figures.
