Everyone wants to bartend. Everyone wants to make drinks. Everyone wants to look cool and be creative…… 85% of tending bar is organizing and cleaning, and if you’re not at that number or higher, you’re probley not the funnest coworker. Fuck cleaning this machine, it can’t taste, it can’t ask if it’s balanced, it can’t mod specs based on guest preference, it’s useless.

Calm down there killer. I think this was made for someone's house. No robot will be taking your bartending job anytime soon.

Yeah, everyone wants made drinks, not to make drinks. Some people just want those drinks enough they are willing to do the making themselves. A very small (proportionally) subset of those people discover they really enjoy making drinks, and get into bartending/mixology. I love a number of cocktails but can't be assed to have all the ingredients handy and actually make any of them.

If I'm mixing a drink at home more complicated than putting something carbonated into something with an alcohol content it's like a bit of like juice or a fruit garnish as a third ingredient. Maybe over ice. Because much as I'd love a martini or old fashioned I'm not stocking bitters or vermouth or whatever on the regular, and those are even pretty easy drinks to make.

I was at a party this weekend with a mixing machine. It’s the one that uses pods like a keurig. Anyhow it was a huge hit and people loved it.
