Ep.6 – Crying at the Bar

There’s no crying in bartending!! That’s actually not true. There can be lots of tears. Dr. Xander Gerrymander and Dr. K go into the calls bartenders have to make in regards to patrons crying and how hard it might be to make those judgment calls in regards to if a patron is super happy, super drunk, or just super sad, how to assess, and what to do in such a situation. From behind the pine, they also talk about what bartenders do and where they go if they’re having a breakdown while tending (hint!! It’s the crying room!! Every bar has one!!) and how to reset afterwards, and how you can support your fellow coworkers in case they are having a rough day.

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

Podcast recorded and produced by Breakfast Puppies in Portland, ORE.

Dr. Xander Gerrymander (not a real doctor) is a professional bartender and Dr. K is an actual doctor of psychology with a postdoctoral in pharmacology.
