Last Call

My previous prediction proved to be premature; pride prevailed, prodding people to pack in their profession; due to predilection in favor of propinquity of parentage.

In other words, Andre got fired, Pat quit out of solidarity, and we now have two new bartenders, one of which is the grandson of the owner, whose promotion precipitated the proceedings, hopefully not resulting in anyone's privation.

Which rightly sucks, because I liked having Pat as a bartender, for many a reason. Now we'll have to see just how the new gal taking over his shift works out, so far she seems nice enough and is indeed more than easy on the eyes. Grandson on the other hand I have heard described in less than stellar ways, and I doubt he's going to be a smooth fit into the culture that has taken years if not decades to nurture at the tavern.

I only hope that the majority of regulars does not perform an exodus to a different bar, that would be a shame.
