- They are good listeners
Mostly circumstantial, but bartenders over time have evolved to become great listeners. They don’t have a choice anyway. When people who had a long day at work, or are escaping their baby mamas and daddies go sit at the bar, they start venting. (There’s something about that bar that makes people just spill all their guts out). The bartender has no option but to listen and throw in a few ‘hmms’ and ‘yeahs’ here and there. Poor guys don’t even get paid for this extra service.
