Getting customers into your bar is one thing and making them want to come back is another.

Sometimes it's all about the crowd or the lack of one. I know most people want a "jumping" place to go to and have a lot of people around. But I also hear when it's slow and there are only a couple of  people in that THAT'S what they like, it's quiet. It doesn't help the tip bucket or me but I realize this is also a time to connect with the the person there at that moment. Making the conection is what brings them back, and before you know it you have a bar filled with friends that you know and care about.

Well it did it again -I typed so much and  then it  wasn't saved. I'll try later

The post was about what people discuss while I'm behind the bar - sample is the list blow and nothing got saved.
