Mixologists!
“Help, my husband is having a heart attack!”
“Don’t worry ma’am, I’m a mixologist.”
“Wait, huh? How is that going to help?”
“I told you, I’m a M-I-X-O-L-O-G-I-S-T.”
“What the? Is there a doctor in the house? Please hurry!”
“What part of OLOGIST don’t you understand?”
“All of it.”
And… scene!
Don’t get me wrong, I like a good bartender who knows his or her shit and can whip up some old school cocktails, but can we stop with this “mixologist” nonsense? If your main source of income comes in the form of tips you are not allowed to be an “ologist” of any sort. Your job description can include “tender” or “keep” but let’s stop pretending you work at NASA.
Be proud to be a bartender! You are among greats like Tom Cruise, Moe, the slutty whores of Coyote Ugly and Tammy. Stop in and see Tammy!
