I’ve been a regular at places before but totally unused to the way that having come to this bar since it opened and engaging with the bartenders with actual social skills the whole time (& I’m sure the tipping helps) I’m treated as like, a member of the family

The most interesting aspect of this is that the guy who works at a bunch of bars and is something of the “lead” that I originally thought was kinda a tool has come to accept me and softened and I realized his earlier attitude was basically tanking customers on behalf of his team
