    Default who gets to drink?

    Can waitresses/shot girls/bartenders drink on the job?

    I know the dancers can as they are independent contracters and if the men buy them drinks it makes more money for the club. But how about the rest of the staff?

    I wouldnt think a waitress would wanna come to work or get sloshed in work, but how about a few drinks to settle the old nerves?

    At my club, you could ask for a drink and take a shot/drink if a customer bought it for you. The latter was due to the fact that they were trying to whore the waitresses out for VIPs though.

    I think it really depends on the area. For example, here, I think bartenders and waitresses can't legally serve alcohol and drink at the same time. I heard something here about being required to stay below a .02 blood alcohol level but I'm not sure

    I wouldn't make it a habit to drink at work doing that job if I were you though. It'll make it easier to keep up with your responsibilities and you won't feel like you have to drink to do the job if you just tackle it head on in a sober state. Most likely you'll find that once the initial jitters wear off that you'll be comfortable.

    I can drink while serving alcohol depending on the club/pub. Some like me and let me. Some won't let me no matter how much they like me.

    The only time I ever do is when I'm having a really hard time. Usually MAYBE once every two months and it's just a shot of tequila.

    Forming a habit of it is very not good.

    ^^^^ Agreed, it depends on the area. My home club, against the law for wait staff to drink. I've worked in other states where it was allowed.

    Anyway to do the take a shot and spit it back out in a beer bottle trick?

    (Guess who just suffered through Coyote Ugly?)

    Either way, it definitely depends on the club. There are ways to avoid actually drinking but I suppose thats another story. I can't believe how many guys don't know wtf a Shirley Temple is....bartenders too.

    here, waitresses and drink with permission of manager. some girls have permanent permission because of tenure. Some girls have to ask every time.

    Depends on the club. I've worked at clubs where waitresses weren't allowed to drink at all and they were strict about it...and I've worked in clubs where the waitresses got drunk (and rolled on E and snorted coke) and no one really cared.

    Yeah, it varies by club. At my very first club, management gave me liquor and cocaine and I was 18 years old. My next club was very strict on underage drinking, but didn't mind waitresses or dancers drinking as long as they didn't act a fool. Starting fights or pissing off customers while fucked up got you fined bad. And my most recent club allows dancers to drink (21+) and waitresses of age can drink after 1am.

    where I'm at currently champagne hostesses get fired for drinking, if caught. Same with bartenders and waitresses. At other clubs, not as strict.

    With a straw, kthanks.

    I've only tried it in the upper Midwest where people seem to mostly be beer and cheap liquor drinkers.

    Otherwise, I'm a vodka on the rocks girl. Cuts out the extra fruity calories me figures.

    at one of my clubs (the other is a juice bar) sometimes the waitresses double as dancers....sometimes there are waitresses that DON'T dance. in either case, there is a sign in our DR that states "employees (waitress) are not to consume alcoholic beverages/ illegal substances while on the clock." BUT......the managers also serve as bartenders...and they wanna up their drink sales. SOOOOOOO, if a waitress/dancer approaches a group of 5 guys and only two of them want drinks, she may say something like "you guys are only drinking buds? lets get the party started over here, we should get 6 shots of patron!" and sure enough....that 8 dollar sale just went up to a 66 dollar sale. management just doesn't want our wait staff shitfaced....eventhough it happens all the time
