I've done bar work, can be hard work at times (depends on how busy the bar is and how many other bar staff there are really). Long hours and have to deal with the occasional nob jockey (depending on the type of bar i.e. restaraunt, pub, etc).
Meet plenty interesting characters though and always something to do, if theres no customers theres always some cleaning or something to be done so you never get bored

Did 5 years of bar/waiting work
Hours are terrible and the money is really not great but it paid for my beer while at college/uni

Agreed, i work in a bar as a second job, its ok, but when it is busy it is shit, I wouldn't work in a bar that is packed out for a full shift, you are knackered/stressed out by the end of it so not worth the coin.

I used to work behind a bar part time, was pretty simple tbh... was a newly refurbished place though so there was loads of hype when i started. slowly went downhill and i ended up sat bored with no customers most friday nights
i moved onto the odd day shift working the bar and waiting on, again was quiet and i was sat watching trisha most days..
the only decent thing was the pay.. was more an hour than im on in my full time job

I did a years of bar work when I was 17, and did 4 years of waiting on untill then! lol.
If you get tips its easy money waiting on. Bar work is easy as long as you know how to do coctails.

Use to work at a local golf club whilst at uni for 2 1/2 yrs, must say it was the eastiest job ive ever done because the family owners were a bunch of mugs.
Can be busy when it is busy, money aint great and when all members are a bunch of pikeys they tip fook all - tight wankers
waiting and bar work was the work, cracking on with all the younger girls whilst working was worth it - especially when you take them home after a hard nights work
