In the section where it said to write in "special skills" I wrote that I was an expert marksman with the M16, M60, and M203 and that I had completed an extra course in close combat skills. The owner said I had balls to apply and hired me on the spot. My first shift I had to shut off a biker couple and toss them out. they backed the bike into the front entrance and peeled out making a ton of noise and filling the bar with fumes. The owner came out of his basement office and ran out into the street and went after them. They made another pass by the bar and he cloths lined them and they both went spilling into traffic and the bike got run over. He then took the guys helmet off of him and starting smashing his skull which opened up a big gash. then he put him in a head lock and rammed him into the stop sign repeatedly until I stopped him because i thought the guy was dead. The bar owner grabbed me in close and asked me what rule number one was being bartender? Stammering I said something about not serving people who come in already toasted and he yelled back at me.....NO, NEVER LEAVE THE BAR UN-ATTENDED!!!! GET YOUR ASS BACK IN THERE!
I worked there for 3 years and have fond memories but my first shift was one I'll never forget!
