Most important qualities for a barmaid to posess?

[Mary Jane]

Right, so my ass is sore from sitting around on it for the past few weeks since I've gotten here and I've found myself a part-time job a couple nights a week at a pub.

I've never done bar work before, though I have done food service.

My BF tells me the most important qualities a barmaid can have is a nice smile and a nice rack. I thought it might be more important to be friendly and know how to pour a drink.

So what do you think? What qualities are most important in a barmaid?

[lozzypop1]

None of the above...

I loved being a barmaid, some of the best 'nights out' I've ever had consisted of me working.

The MAIN quality you NEED to be in possesion of is a very good sense of humour, and the abilty to fake it if need be.

Other than that - all of the above...

You'll be fine MJ

EDIT: Actually - the short skirt/bottom shelf is taking it too far - You'll just be thought of as that slutty barmaid and men will believe they have the right to speak to you that way!

yeah, the short skirt thing was a joke based on a story BF told me about a girl that worked in his local.

I don't have good "short skirt legs".

The ability to speak sufficient English to pour me the correct drink, and a friendly attitude.

Short skirts and nice boobs don't hurt, but as Lozzypops points out, you'd get plenty of annoying and unpleasant attention.

Someone that's approachable, and smiles, bit of small talk never hurt anyone either! Places are so unfriendly now!

Above all else, I want a barmaid to be prompt and accurate with my order. No use being friendly if she's a complete ditz that takes ages and fucks everything up.

THEN, she needs to be friendly, then a good sense of humour, then attractive. In that order.

Boobs, smile, boobs, listen, boobs, pour, boobs smile.

That is your function. Perform it well.

As Lozzy said, sense of humour is the most important thing by quite a way. Barmaid at my local back home is spot on, always smiling, friendly and up for a laugh and a flirt, knows most of the locals, and gives as good as she gets when it comes to the banter.

For example, 'cos we're usually a pain in the arse to get out at kicking out time, she bought a big tub of lollies, showed them to us, then took them outside. While we all rushed out, she locked the door. Fair play.

Pwntifex, seriously, I only know one single student with anything even approaching that attitude, and all the rest of us think she's probably the biggest bell-end imanigable. So there.



Oh, and a nice rack doesn't hurt...

I used to have a thing for barmaids... Got phone numbers but never ended up organising a date with any of them.

True enough, the " " was a clue, but it's a fairly commonly held attitude, and it's so far from the truth (in my experience at least) as to be funny.

Anyone's more than welcome to come to the pub with us and I'll personally buy them a pint every time a 'lefty comment' is made.

I really should go to bed, I'm starting to sound like I'm taking this a bit too (i.e. at all) seriously.

Just to be able to get the drink in a normal time, politeness, and then looks. But if your going to a bar for the barmaids looks... just think how many other people are doing the same

Drink -> Politeness -> Smile -> looks

if they can get me a jack d without ice and do it with a smile ye canny ask for more than that.. well you could but you'd probably get slapped. you never forget a smile.

[Louise]

Been Bar staff - Easy job
Smiling is a must, and a good sence of humore. Even if you get to hate a local (been there done that) Just go with the flow, dont let them upset you in anyway.
Nicely dressed too. Not to smart, and not to casual. Do you have to have a Polo shirt? As we have the choise with the BT Logo, or black shirt for the boys and black fitted top for the ladies

knowing that i was in the cue before the cunts you just served were!
