I was a bar manager and used to get a flood of applicants every time I needed to hire people. I wasn't particularly picky since I was always happy to train people up to my standards since I usually had to untrain bad habits anyways, so I would only schedule one interview at a time and generally just hired the first person I interviewed to save myself the work unless their vibes were off.

The one time I interviewed someone where I thought "damn he's hot asf", seemed nice, could answer my questions and he was experienced in the role, so I hired him on the spot. I have never had to fire someone so fast. Dude lost his shit at another bartender for bumping into him, I gave him a warning and told him it would be his only one. Shit happens, it's a tight space.

Then a customer that was smoking in the alley after we shut asked him a question as we were leaving and he said "why the fuck are you talking to me". Had to tell him not to bother coming in for his next shift...

I used to manage a pub and when hiring new staff and giving them their branded uniform t shirt (that were provided by the head office from the parent company), I had to explain to the girls that yes, you are xxxl if you want a "female" shirt, and yes most of it is boob space. Most opted for the men's xs because it actually fit a human body.

Unsurprisingly we had a ton of women's small shirts in storage because they never got used. They were basically baby sized...

Not a plastic swizzle stick, a bar spoon. They are stainless steel and have various ends. This is the teardrop, makes stirring ice easier. There's also a coin (flat disc on the end that op was talking about), that is used for muddling and can also be used to stir ice, and the trident used to get garnishes out of jars like cherries and olives.

The right wing party in Australia (a few elections ago) increased retirement age but with a "rolling date". Meaning they all get to retire on time with the earlier date but the later you were born the later your retirement age. They literally set their retirement age in stone then fucked younger generations on their way out. It's still currently rolling out, recently increased to 67 in 2023.

(In more ways than one bit this one is particularly obvious and idk how they got away with it).

It was on the pricier side, about 200 AUD, but I went to an audiologist for motorcycle ear plugs. They took a wax mould of my ears and has custom plugs made. They fit so well I could barely feel them and the filter perfectly silenced my motorcycle while I could still hear cars around me and the music playing in my helmet. I ended up wearing them at work (worked in a nightclub for a while) and I could still hear people talk. There were other filters you could get in them, like for musicians. Used then for years until my dog chewed them up. Highly recommend.

It was a big and very busy pub so we had both glassy and bar back. Usually that's the same person but we needed multiple people just constantly clearing the floor and washing glassware, and a couple people restocking the bar and changing kegs.

I used to manage a pub, and I hired an 18 year old chavy kid as a glassy and this is how he talked to me. Ngl, it felt pretty cool. I liked talking to him.

This entire video looks like it was made based on a Reddit thread from earlier this week lol.

He owns our media too, we just don't believe everything we're told at face value it seems. The media was very much in favour of the liberals (our right wing party) this election and it's shaping up to be their worst ever result in an election.

Not to mention he gave up his Australian citizenship in 1985. 40 years ago.

Kanye's wife wore a "dress" on the red carpet that was thinner than a stocking. So not wrong tbh

I bought a Chromebook for uni (the only thing cheap enough I could afford) and it was so bad I ended up installing Linux and libre office. Years later I got a pixel 2 and it came with a free Google assistant.

Pixel 2 was a great phone until one day it just never turned back on. I looked at getting the 4 and the hardware was all direct downgrades from the 2, including outdated processors from the generation before the 2 was released??

The Google assistant was the most useless piece of shit I've ever used. Never bought another Google product again.
