Bar Employees Are Fun

I went to an employee party for a friend of mine who is a bartender for a bar downtown GR yesterday, Tuesday. It wasn’t the best idea to go out on a school night, but with the promise food and drinks, how could I refuse? After class I came home, worked out and got a bite to eat before cleaning up and finding some cloths that I thought were appropriate for a company party. Did I forget to mention that this was for the employees of a bar?

We ended up having a good time. At first it was hard to mingle. No one seemed to be talking about anything I could join in with. It was mostly chatter about who is up to what and where people are and what they are doing. Since I had no idea who they were talking about it was next to impossible to chime in.

One of the employees came around and handed out free drink tickets. My friend got his tickets and immediately ordered a couple of drinks for us, love that boy! As we were chatting the owner came around and my friend introduced us. After that he made some comment on us not drinking enough and handed me two more free drink tickets. Smiling, he told us to have fun as walked off to mingle.

We finished our dinner and we both received a to-go box with more food. The owner had prepared a full turkey dinner for the party and there was plenty left over. I thanked the owner, Rob, for a wonderful dinner and a fun evening and we left.
