We decided it was time to finally discuss the topic that inspired the name of our podcast: SIDE WORK! Good friend and comic genius Al Samuels joins us to discuss the nuances of detail work that either soothes or enrages, depending on the type of server you are. Bottom line, every server and bartender's workload involves A LOT of polishing, slicing, soaking, digging, scraping, wiping, folding, carrying, stocking, and many additional mind-numbing activities to do the job correctly. And there's a special place in hell for the co-worker who doesn't do their side work.
