Carl and Riley, seasoned bartenders, delve into the unpredictable world of the service industry. They share tales of demanding customers and amusing situations, rating stories from mundane to extraordinary. 

The episode discusses customer etiquette and highlights how establishments handle outside food policies and the irksome habit of customers telling staff to smile. 

With real-life anecdotes and listener-submitted stories, Carl and Riley offer a candid look at the challenges and quirks of working behind the bar, all while enjoying an experimental espresso martini from Aldi.
