One character is a vampire wearing a "God Hates Prudes" shirt, another is a "Human Slayer" eating beef jerky in a porn booth.

Kirkus called it β€œengaging and offbeat.”

Me: "Menu clearly says highballs = $13. Doubles charged as two singles. Am I reading it wrong?"

Bartender: "You're right about the menu, but it's confusing and needs updating anyway. No big deal."

Day off drama. Bartender texts me: "Management complained about cleanliness & stocking. Also, doubles should be charged as cocktails ($16 x2). Customer complained about your pricing since I charged them more than you did."

Couple days go by. Day 5. Customers order doubles (Tito’s & soda). I ring up exactly as instructed: two singles ($13 each), totaling $26 per drink.

The Highball Debacle
Day 1 at new bartending job. The bartender training me says: "Double drinks must be rung up as two singles for inventory reasons."Highballs (vodka/soda, Jack/Coke, tequila/OJ) = $13 each. Doubles = $26 total.Cocktails are different at $16. Easy enough!

The leader of China’s Shaolin Temple is under investigation for embezzlement and fathering illegitimate children. Authorities got suspicious when he said he took a vow of seduction, not silence.

A man in Argentina was awarded $12,500 after Google Street View captured him naked in his front yard. In related news, Argentina has just launched a universal income program with zero cost to taxpayers; everyone just has to stand naked in their front yard once a year.
