Jim and Jackie, the other two bartenders (who were
married to each other), taught me the value of a
clean bar, a good game of darts, and a tall glass
of whiskey and coke. Pour yourself a Coke at the
beginning of your shift. First whiskey drink you
make, give your glass a nudge. Keep it filled like
that all night and you won't get tired or tense.
Jackie had a lot of bad tattoos, was a
self-professed fence-sitter, and could break up
a fight just by looking at you funny.
Good night, Jackie.
