This happened today at work. I manage a bar/restaurant. We had a long weekend and everyone(to include myself) is noticeably ready for the day to be over but at this point it had only just started. I had stopped by the gas station on my way in and grabbed a couple of energy drinks and a Powerade to get me through the shift. As I intended to space out the time between them, to maximize their effectiveness I placed the second energy drink and the Powerade in the canned beer well to keep them cold. While placing them in the well I notice there is very little ice in them, and we are now currently open for business. As is required from time to time I approach my bartenders and say “Hey guys, beer wells are looking light on ice. Let’s get some more ice on them so our products stay cold.” To which I receive some exasperated but light hearted sighs. We are a pretty relaxed establishment most of the time provided things get done as they should be. So I pull out my disappointed dad voice and say “Come on guys. Y’all know the drill.”
Fast forward 5 hours into the shift, and I go to grab my drink. Imagine my surprise when I arrive at the aforementioned beer well, with an accompaniment of uproarious laughter to find the well properly iced down….save the very corner I had placed my drinks, which now resembles a scaled model of Mount Everest.
