This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Idk what OP is doing wrong, but in my experience bartenders and service workers are always hooking up - with each other, with patrons, at after work social engagements...
The job sort of requires you to be social, to be friendly, to engage with strangers, and to empathize with other people.
That's not to say the relationships last. Plenty of drama in the service industry, too. Lots of substance abuse. Lots of cheating. Lots of traveling, boom and bust with the economic tides, and risk taking for better or worse.
But the idea that you're just a bartender for ten years and nothing is happening in your life is crazy.
I know a lot of people like that. Likeable, but something just keeps them from forming those kind of relationships even just for a hook up.
I know a few, myself. But none of them are up till 4am on a Thursday night hanging out with other hot drunk horny 30 year olds.
The post says he's a waiter at a restaurant, not a bartender, though.
