This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Idk what OP is doing wrong, but in my experience bartenders and service workers are always hooking up - with each other, with patrons, at after work social engagements...

The job sort of requires you to be social, to be friendly, to engage with strangers, and to empathize with other people.

That's not to say the relationships last. Plenty of drama in the service industry, too. Lots of substance abuse. Lots of cheating. Lots of traveling, boom and bust with the economic tides, and risk taking for better or worse.

But the idea that you're just a bartender for ten years and nothing is happening in your life is crazy.

You are missing one crucial aspect.

90%of greentext is completely fabricated.

The only true part is they are alone.
