DO THIS AT THE BAR AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE SERVED LAST!

In Episode 17 of Bartender Bangaz, your host Mark the Shark heads to Bay Shore, New York, to hang out at Goldie’s Gems. We’re sitting down with two hometown legends and "OG" bartenders, Johnny and Michelle, who have been there since day one. From the transition from barista to bartender to the "horrifying" mistakes made during a rookie shift, Johnny and Michelle pull back the curtain on the service industry. Learn why you should always be nice to your barista (unless you want decaf!), how a mix-up with pickle juice ruined a batch of green tea shots, and why waving your money at a busy bartender is the fastest way to get ignored. In this episode, we discuss: Barista vs. Bartender: Why coffee customers are actually meaner than bar regulars. The "Dry Martini" Scam: Why Johnny thought it was the hardest drink to make (and the simple reality). Bar Etiquette 101: Why "I'll hook you up at the end" usually means a bad tip. Wild Stories: From the guy who confessed his drug use to deal with his marriage to the "asshole" who ditched his date. The Post-Covid Bar Scene: How microdosing and "Heineken Zero" are changing the way people go out.
