Kennedy made the swipe at the Democratic lawmaker during an interview with Fox News, saying she is “kind of like Vice President Kamala Harris, but with more bartending experience.” He went on to say that she has “never been accused of being a policy maven.”

Then you’re dealing with other people’s droll and piss and blood. Managing angry drunks, happy drunks, and piss drunks. Tracking orders, periodically against people who want to cheat or rob you. Scouting for underaged drinkers, dealing with sex pests, and still politely catering to the whims of the bulk of your clientele.
I don’t envy bar work even slightly. Crazy to think it’s “easy”, unless you’re already four drinks in. At which point, you’re one of the people making the job more difficult.
