Monday Manners Rule #14: Don't Join the Party

The two lovebirds out for date night may adore your fine-tuned stories. They may think you're the most hilarious bartender ever. They may even invite you to pull up a bar stool. Do. Not. Do it. Three is a crowd.

Provide the best service possible to all your guests in the restaurant, and then, if that offer still stands when your shift is over, change out of uniform, let your hair down, and with care not to overstay your welcome, join in for a drink. Otherwise, let people enjoy their night out without adding yourself to the reservation.

Yes! This applies to servers too! "Have a glass" does not mean hunker down for the remainder of the night.

About the Big Sis

Jordan Catapano
My bartending career started in a chain restaurant and took me to dive bars, 5 stars, and private parties in some of LA's most beautiful residences. I've served Puff Daddy champagne, poured Keifer Sutherland an ungodly amount of Jack Daniels, and mixed cocktails for Pamela Anderson and Kidd Rock post-divorce, pre 2nd marriage (just to name-drop a few).

Our book, "This Girl Walks Into a Bar," (written by me and designed by my sister, Jocelyn) is an all-in-one bartending guide designed for any woman who wants the lucrative career of tending bar, or simply aspires to mix cocktails like a master at home!
