One hell of a job perk

[Mookow]

I recently started as a bartender at a local tavern. One of the side perks is that I can now order cases of beer at just about wholesale prices. Last night my employer handed me a case of Stone Imperial Stout, and told me I owed him $43. This would have retailed for a minimum of ~$65 (including tax), and at most places it would have cost ~$80.

I'm liking my new job. And not just because I took home $210 after last night's shift.

Working at a brewery would be even nicer.

10 hours. It would have been higher, except I got stiffed by a couple people early on. At the end of the night my tip jar had more $5 bills in it than $1 bills for the highest 2/3'rds of the jar (ie, the last 2/3'rds of the night).

Yeah. 90 different beers in stock, and our drafts run from Stone Ruination IPA to Newcastle... and all drafts except our beer of the month is $3.25/pint all the time.

That doesnt have the same variety. Your discount would be limited to the beers that your brewery makes. But it still isnt bad, I have a teammate who works for Great Lakes Brewery.

Working for one of the large breweries that also does imports/distribution has tons of perks.

Do you know anyone who works for them?

Besides, being a bartender means you get to flirt with the good looking chicks at the bar as they get drunk. And they pay you to do so.

The bar where I work doesnt have much smoke. I smell like smoke at the end of the night, sure, but it isnt really a smoky atmosphere. It depends on the bar, I guess.
