Re: Opening a Bar
Ahnuld: Depends on the bar. I've never bartended but I have DJed in clubs for a number of years and heard a variety of stories down the line.
Depending on how the bar "weighs" or keeps track of how much booze is sold often determines whether the bartender can earn extra money by short pouring.
Bartenders have told me that by short pouring they were able to make hundreds more a night because of the way the bar determine how much the bartender owed them at the end of the night.
Most clubs I imagine these days use a system where it's not in the best intrests of the bartender to short pour. Whether management tells them to or not is another story. Anything off the gun from my experience is also watered down.
