sounds like the barkeep is an unhappy person...most likely through no fault other than is own...and in the wrong line of work

he's missing out on a lot of great conversations and the ability to create 'a following' as a result of his narrow mindedness

I've seen a lot of barkeeps in my day, some worked it like a Hollywood actor and were handsomely rewarded for their performance by the patrons and then there were the others that just seemed to go through the motions

...IMHO tending bar is 1/3rd knowing how to make a good drink, and 2/3'rds being alert and knowing how to work the crowd...it's all theatre

the secret to happiness is to go forward with joy, rather than going forward seeking joy
