AOC the Bartender

People often comment about AOC and indicate she’s not the brightest bulb, but that is to be expected from a bartender; she got out of the House of Representatives and needs to get back to bartending because she’s not good or bright enough to do anything else.

I hate the bartender talk. Being a bartender isn’t a bad thing. Two of my grandparents tended bar, three uncles, a couple of cousins, my mom, and my dad rarely, and I did my time. I was in my grandparents’ bar starting around age three. The people patronizing it were hardworking folks and frankly, I learned a great deal about people hanging around the bar.

My grandmother started her day opening at 7 a.m. My mom went in yesterday at about 11 a.m. and worked until 5 p.m. My grandmother went upstairs, I think around 2, for a couple of hours to rest, but she didn’t. She washed clothes, did housework, etc. She went back downstairs until 2:30 a.m. to close the bar, 30 minutes to clean up the place, then upstairs to bed. Then, I will be back in the bar by 7 a.m. at the latest to open up for the before-work crowd to open up. If the door wasn’t open on schedule, the handful of men would be knocking. They had limited time to get a shot or two, a short beer, and some would get a flask of wine to go. Then, they were off for a hard day’s work next door, making minimum wage.

My grandmother did this six days a week and opened on Sundays for a few hours for selected people while she cooked dinner for family coming later in the afternoon. This went on for years.

This is only part of the story. The bad thing is AOC. She would be just as bad if she worked selling shoes. It’s a lot of hard work. Just say she’s a moronic person because she is. But I really do hate the AOC talk about just being a bartender. There are a lot of reasons to hate AOC, but that isn’t one.
