Ep.12 – Coming to Terms at the Bar

Short, tall, open, closed, tabs, rocks, neat, behind, heard, and rails, oh my! Dr Xander Gerrymander and Dr K delve into the terminology from the fun side of the bar as well as behind the pine. What the heck is my bartender asking me? What are my co-workers asking me or telling me if I’m new to the service industry? Why are my newer co-workers weirded out by my touching their back when I’m moving around? The navigation starts here as we take a deep dive into the verbal and physical communication in the industry as well as the importance of understanding consent when it comes to newer folks. It’s not quite last call yet, but they’ll get you there.

Theme song “Just A Little Drink” performed by Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra (1925)
