what do cashiers have to do with making margaritas.
of course a bar wants its overhead for profit, operating expenditures, licensing, taxes etc. you have an economic advantage with DIY margaritas. either better ones or more economical ones are doable at home. duh.
good writing!
I’m slow today.
At first I thought you were making a Bill Clinton joke...but now I get it. LOL.
I love to read what you write. It not only “hits home”, but it is lyrical without intention.
Thanks.
What I learned cashiering was you don’t put the money into the till until after you’ve made change and the customer has accepted it. Avoids those “Hey, didn’t I give you a twenty dollar bill” moments.
I never see that anymore......
Channeling Andy Rooney and sucking at it is no way to go through life.
Too tart for me. Needs a little sugar in the lime juice. I'll take Patron Agave and Grand Marnier over Cointreau. THANK ME!
“So if you want to truly celebrate “Cinco de Mayo” “
“Ni, we don’t.” say the knights who say Ni.
I use Grand Marnier and a sweet & sour mix of equal parts fresh lime juice, fresh grapefruit juice, and simple syrup
I may be back behind a bar soon. Should never have left.
I did it for years too, many years ago. I think it’s lie riding a nicycle, you never forget.
You had to bring up flip-flops, right? Oh, how I despise them. Those things belong on the beach and nowhere else.
Warm weather means slob season heats up, too. People today like letting their fat rolls and tattoos and everything else hang out for people to see. I’ve seen girls in beach coverups walking around in public, and I live 300 miles inland from any beach.
Put down that phone when you’re driving! Yesterday some idiot who couldn’t stop yapping had the passing lane blocked for a mile-—she was driving about 40 mph in a 55 zone.
And Sauza Conmemorativo for mixing.
Yesterday....May 4th....Star Wars Day was more relevant to me. It was also the date Margaret Thatcher was first elected as PM of the UK.
“Now we did not have those cash registers that automatically calculate your change. So I had to figure it out in my head. Even today, I can instantly calculate the change from a $20 bill. “

When i was in HS working p/t at Subway, that’s how they train you at first: using your math skills by brainpower instead of relying on the cash machine.
“...So I would take the $20 bill from the customer and hand him/her back a quarter, a dime, a nickel and four pennies while saying “That makes $12.” Then I’d hand back three dollar bills and say “That makes $15” and then a $5 bill and say “That makes $20.” ...”
-and that takes to long.
I agree but I would consider adding Hawaii and maybe Key West. Other than that, flip-flops belong on the beach or in the shower!
