Lu,

Just some tips for being on your feet all day:
1.) Rotate your shoes, even a couple times per day until your feet get used to it.
2.) If there's 'down time' or a few moments between drinks, elevate one foot.
3.) Does the bar have mats down behind bar for you?
4.) Kick the customers out at close so you don't have to be there two hours late doing side work.

Thanks for the suggestions, but don't get the wrong idea, I've been in the service industry for 3+ years (my feet are definitely "used to it", or as much as they can be after standing for 14 hours, four days in a row), but I work for Brinker, and I'm not allowed to kick out customers or sit down. I'm the senior most trainer at work, the senior most expo, and now I'm a bartender. I rock at waiting tables, and am not ashamed to brag

Wtf does "rotate your shoes" mean? Switching out one pair for another and back again? Or switching your left shoe with your right one? Or turning your shoes around?

Brinker is the real deal Lu.....I have known many people that worked for them and were treated quite right. I did some service calls over at that Brinker office on Hillcrest...cool place

They run a tight ship.
