I was born and raised in Atlantic City, and when a female bartender starts to get old, and lose her looks and charm, her ass is kicked to the curb immediately and replaced with a hot 21 year old piece of ass that will bring the bar more revenue than the washed up "has been" broad. It's how it works. Do you guys really think these club and bar owners give a shit about you? Absolutely not - they want whoever will bring them the most revenue and who ever will ring in the most drinks in a night. The better a bartender looks = the more $ everyone makes.

So when these washed up broads lose their bar tending jobs when they're in their 30's - what the hell is the game plan? I'd love to know.....
Bronzer I so rarely agree with you that I love oportunities like this when I do agree! Even forgetting that you turned this into yet another derogatory post about women, I do agree with your point that this is not the type of job that you retire from and therfore by definition NOT a career. I have yet to see a 52 year old man behind the bar talking about how he has been doing this for 30 years and is looking forward to retiring with a nice little retirment lol. Unless he owns the place!

There is a big difference between a hotel and or resteraunt manager than a BARTENDER! Grown men plan for their future and find solid CAREER paths. Some may grow up faster than others but such is life.
