<quoted text>. I was recently hired on as a bartender, and just wanted to say, I worked in las vegas and atlantic city casinos for years, and the audition process is standard format in the interview process for all bar and wait staff even dealers on the tables. By doing the audition and the "application" they understnd more about who you are a a person then any past experiance could. From what I understand its not going to be a young punk kiddie club like neo lounge and level downtown ft. Myers. Don't let the location turn you off before we get started. THIS WILL NOT BE BAMBOO CLUB. This is going to be geared tward the working man trying to take a load of and let loose. Sorry about your experiance at the audition... I had a blast, your the only one I know of who didn't.. I hope to see everyone there. This will be the place to see and be seen this season.... come say hello.

Oh God I hope I'm never desperate enough to 'quack like a duck' in front of 100 strangers for a shot at working in a bar.
I feel bad for those who have been victims of our economic downward spiral and HAD to act like an ass just to put food on the table.
And Nick, just curious, how do you go from Las Vegas and Atlantic City to SE 47th Terrace? This place must suck compared to the night life you're used to.

I dont understand why all the hostility about their hiring process. I went through the rounds of interviews, made the audition, had a BLAST and never once felt embarrassed nor belittled. The auditions were a way to see how you react in different situations, to observe your personality and to see whether or not you could get out of your comfort zone and have fun and ensure the guests have fun. No one was at the audition unless they were qualified for the job so the auditions weren't really about whether or not you can bartend or serve because they already knew you could, that's why you were there. I am very PROUD to be one of Dixie Roadhouse's new bartenders!!

I just don’t understand this new yuppie way of life. Nor do I want to. This politically correctness about everything we do. Robots more like. Who are these professionals that observe and are so schooled in telling the perfect employee from the not so much. This sounds really presumptuous too as far as the clientele. I mean after all this is Cape Coral. On second thought maybe this is the right place for this kind of a circus. I really don’t know how someone bringing me a drink is going to make me have a good time. It’s more up to me to have a good time. As far as making and serving a drink goes, a monkey can do that. I mean no offense but really, there’s no trick to making a good drink and serving it. Working with people is common sense but it seems the world has turned, or tried to turn it into something it’s not. Whatever!

Would you rather have a grumpy rude person serving you or an outgoing bubbly person who actually cares whether or not you have a good time? Just saying. Serving and Bartending is NOT for everyone and not everyone is cut out for it. It takes a lot of patience, multi-tasking skills, a good memory, and a lot of other attributes to be a successful bartender. If you've ever worked in the industry you would understand why this was actually a fantastic way to put together the best crew possible.
