There I stood, at the bar,glancing around at the dim lighting and shifting figures of what few patrons were on the floor. It was early for that evening; six o' clock on Friday night. People would come in soon though, but for the time they were probably home getting ready.
I watched the bouncy figures of artificial fish under the glass of the bar top. The dyed blue water swayed, making them flip, catching one's eye with their red, blue, and yellow hues. I found a couple smudges, so I decided to use this time in bounty to clean it.
Once done, I leaned on the counter, straightening the bow-tie at my neck. I was wearing a black and white button-down dress shirt and a black bow-tie as part of my bartender get-up.
I got this job right after I moved here to California. I was scavenging for jobs to make some money when I went into a [diner] to sit and think. I had my list of jobs out, crossing away the ones that did or wouldn't work. The waiter came by, asking for my order.
"Could you get me a job please?" I joked. The young guy, named Brad, eyed me quizically after smiling himself.
"What are you looking for?" he asked, shifting on his heels
"Anything really.." I sighed.
"Well, what are you experienced in?"
I began listing off what I knew I could do. "Housework like what maids do, small things on cars, bartend.." Brad perked up.
"You can?"
"Yeah."
Brad asked me a series of questions about drink types, how to mix some things.
"Yeah, because my dad is looking for a new bartender at the club he works at. He's the manager there." I nodded. Then came the real question.
"And how old are you?"
I chuckled. "Not old enough. Nineteen."
Brad sat back and looked around. "I'll still ask him and tell him about you. You sound really sophisticated for the job, if that sound right." He smiled. "I'll give you a call when he says yes or no." Then we traded numbers. I thanked him, left, and when I got home that evening, I had a text from him.
He says he'll have an interview with you tomorrow. Be at the below address at 2:00 pm. Hope you get it!
I jumped in the air, happy as all get out.
So, you [obviously] know how it went since I now have the job. Undercover of course.
