Hey everybody. 2 weekends ago, after I opened a set and developed some really good rapport, I discovered the girl I was talking to was a bartender in downtown buffalo. She made enough money to start her own business (tanning salon) and is doing very well financially (she was dressed VERY well).
Well, while I was telling her a simple story about a piece of jewelry I wear she cut me off:
Mellissa - Anthony, why arent you behind a bar somewhere?
Anth - Huh?
Mel - You should be bartending... do you work?
Anth - No I go to school
Mel - Honey, with your looks, you could be making a thousand dollars a week
Anth - A thousand a week?
We debate that figure for a little... she insists that she makes 1,300 a week at a very classy bar downtown. I look around... guys are laying 20's down for 14 dollar drink oarders... and I need the money.
Mel - I want you to go to SoHo and ask for Frank. He manages. Ive known him since before he opened the bar, you tell him that Mellissa said you'd make a great bartender
Well, I agreed to do that, and then changed the subject. I #closed, she innitiated a hug and kissed me on the side of the mouth goodbye.
THE PROBLEM IS!!! I am 17, and mellissa thinks Im 22. I talked it over with my parents, they agreed to let me bartend because we really need the money. When I met mellissa I was in a lounge (21+) and I have been inside SoHo (also 21+) many times.
I have no bartending training, but I could easily get some through my uncles best friend, who sells liquor to a handfull of local bars/stores.
How do I approach frank, the manager at SoHo? Do I tell him my age right off the bat? Do I tell him I have been inside HIS establishment? Do I tell him ive been in other bars? Should I mention mellisa even though she thinks im 5 years older than I am?
I turn 18 in less than a month, so legally I will be able to sell liquor by april. How can I secure this bartending job? And if I dont get this one, how can I get other ones? The money would be like a lifeline for my family.
