i am a bar tender, we trade shifts pretty often, not big deal

there is one guy that i have covered his ass for multiple bullshit reasons, from IM sick to IM hungover, to im swamped at school, to i have a test to its a friends birthday...

i have covered for two days of his so i could have off MOnday this fucker txts me and tells me he cant, his gf already made plans and he is sorry...

motherfucker, i am livid

i had to take my bike to a photog today and am getting prolly getting the best v-day gift ever and now i am fighting to just take the fucking night off...

Then quit and go somewhere else. Problem sovled. Apparently the guy who keeps taking off isn't making this gig his sole source of income or doesn't need the money.

i have already threatened to goto the other bar
problem is I make BANK here
i mean alot of cash, and i make the bar bank

as long as i am there i have no rules, keys to everything, can through a VIP party and it not cost anything for anyone, im well known and well liked by our regular clientele, i can do this while still in school and it doesnt interfere too much with life.

this job pays for my toys while i get a education. since my wrx engine blew up i needs this to make ends meet, if the cars engine didnt blow up i would of been fine, but that 9k cost and hurt deep for a grad student

If you're bringing in all the cash then tell them to fire the douche or you're gone. I'd rather make a little less then be stressed.

Just remember these two simple words the next time he "asks" a favor.

FUCK YOU

When he gives you that bullshit butt hurt look and wonders why, just tell him his word is worth shit ( or used toilet paper )

So... I'm not understanding why he's able to get off so much even if you're covering for him. Is he fucking the bar's owner?

Those are the joys of working in a bar. Bouncers, for the most part, arent the most reliable employees.

Did you direct some of that anger toward him to make him realize he needs to cover your shift, or did it all end up here?

Sucks he pulled that, but if this is a first-time scenario, you need to spell it out to him. If it's happened before... well, you know what they say.

Its a bar, its not like working in an office. A lot of part timers, students, etc etc.

Then he needs to not bitch about it if he's just gonna keep covering for the guy.
