Quit and make cocktails myhobby?
Hi, I'm sure a lot of you have thought about quitting hospitality at some point.
I am working as a barkeeper in a big touristy restaurant. I have next to no guest contact, I am just producing drinks, if I'm able to, I help the servers. I do 35h per week, my boss pays on time, the tip out is fine, my direct supervisor tries to honor every wish for my days off (on week days).
So far this seems like a great gig and I really enjoy barkeeping under these conditions, but the restaurant's food is getting worse, and I feel bad for our guests. A lot of my colleagues have a drinking problem. I miss my friends, that do not work in hospitality. I don't get a long with my direct supervisor, he's an utter misanthrope, sneers at every waitress. A lot of my colleagues have kids and if I want a weekend off, I need to plan it 3 months beforehand and than there's a chance, that a parent will steal my days off. I notice, that I'm becoming bitter at my job, that I honestly like, but everything surrounding it slowly sucks the energy out of me.
Does anybody has ideas, thoughts on how to proceed?
Sorry for my English, it's not the yellow from the egg✌️
