Barhopping: A Stumble Thru An Insane Industry

By Michael F Martin

BARHOPPING tells the journey Michael Martin's 20 year career as a bar professional. From server and bartender to assistant manager and GM, no day is ever predictable in the alcohol soaked industry. From unruly drunk customers, backstabbing coworkers, to incompetent managers and lunatic owners, nothing is ever as it seems. The author takes you into the conflicts behind the scenes that the customers never see and to how great jobs go bad. Starting as a bar back with a strong work ethic in a rough high volume nightclub, Michael Martin fell into a career he loved. From Maryland, to Baton Rouge, and Atlanta, he hops from one great job gone wrong to the next. From bartender and server, always striving to give great service to make the highest tips possible, he finds himself repeatedly sabotaged by bad management. He finally steps into management to find it a battle on all fronts. In a business of giant egos and broken personalities, angry customers, disgruntled employees, lazy managers, and drug addled owners, Michael Martin takes you through the insane and often outrageous situations to keep operations running smoothly to the public eye.
