You know construction workers eat and drink a ton.
Plus they tip well.
Other than the dirt they leave on the floor from muddy construction sites they are great customers.

FYI
At least here it is a liquor violation to buy booze at a store that is not your designated store this is so they can keep track of what you buy for tax reasons and even to fight stuff like homemade booze, moonshine.

Also I know some pretty well off people and they can be really cheap, how do you think they got all that money.
So you need some lower cost stuff on the menu to keep them in your place as well.

The average checks in my diner were $5.00 to $6.00 bucks back in 2004 and I had mostly well off people eating at my place.
So you can see why I wince at a $14.00 dollar drink.

“They know where it will work and where it won't, and are resisting the temptation of "Go fever."

I hope they are reading this thread.

It’s good that they are waiting, it seams like lots of new owners I have talked to not just tiki bars have this idea that they will be a celebrity of sorts owning a restaurant and they may in the beginning.
But that goes away quickly.
You never hear about the Grass skirt here anymore.

But in the end it’s just a bunch of serving people and cleaning, its hard work, you become a pee on for damn near everybody.
You even find yourself being extra nice to that sorry employee just to try to get them to stay through the rush, that and it may be your family member who owes you lots o money.

But for some odd reason I still miss it to this day.
