I'd love to just sit and hear his stories. Bar stories told by bartenders are oftentimes the best. And he's probably got a few hundred.

Just look at your post count or joined date... One does what one enjoys.

Great story. It's probably not even work anymore for this guy, it's just his daily social hour with regulars.

The 11:00-2:00 shift is a lot different than 8:00-Close. You have all your lunch crowd/functional alcoholics/retired chit-chatters drop in at that time.

As was said, this guy probably has some incredible stories.

That story almost brought a tear to my eye. It was just that wholesome and inspiring.

Good stuff.

No beer for that man. It'd have to be a bourbon and coke :)

Do something you love, and you'll never work a day in your life.

That applies to bordom as well.

Awesome story. I hope I can still handle myself like that in my old age. My grampa drives 200 mi to work and he is 86 (doesnt work every day)...
