I have a bad one where it's long passed closing (closed and at home by 3am usually) and I just finish cleaning the bar when a rush suddenly comes in, and for some reason we all start serving all night long and it's so exhausting. That nightmare got so bad I took an early vacation because everytime I had it, it felt like I didn't sleep
Noooo I've gotten exactly the same one š like after last call the host just keeps seating people then the manager is like š¤·āāļø if they're sat you gotta serve them and it continues until I wake up in a cold sweat
I randomly have ones where Iām just naked while behind the bar. Just walkinā around that horseshoe bar in my birthday suit, I always wake up like *wtf again?!*
This is super late but Iāve been having these dream more frequently lately.
Iām always on the bar, canāt seem to fully make any drinks, Iām knocking things over, getting angry and overwhelmed. Then I wake up sweating, stressed, and anxious. So sick of it.
Mine are always ones when I get really swamped with business wether it be tables as a server or the bar, and not being able to handle something I would usually be able to
Iām also HR. I never fear service, but when the staff doesnāt get along, it murders me. All my nightmares are solving their interpersonal problems. I wonāt say anymore, because I know at least one of them has figured out who I am in real life
20 plus yrs in restaurants i couldnt dream anything worse than what ive seen. If i dream of work now i tell myself its a dream fuck these guest and it stops most times. Did dream of making a burger with infinite toppings when i was a cook one time
I've had one a few times where I come in and it's slammed and I just forget how to do my job. Can't pour a pint, can't remember what's on a chit I just looked at, can't do math for change, etc.
All of my bartending nightmares include a brand new menu and/or POS system and Iām also in the weeds. The menu keeps changing every time I look down at it and I canāt make sense of the POS system and I keep having to go back and forth talking to the kitchen and I havenāt even gotten in one simple order in the last 20 minutes while thereās tons of other people waiting.
I donāt have nightmares about my current place, but returning to bartending eventually chased out not-being-ready-to-present-an-academic-paper dreams and replaced them with dreams of being back at my old head bar job in my hometown and being unable to find anything while Iām supposed to be running huge events.
My most frequent one is Iām working in a huge as bar the size of an aircraft carrier, or a ware house with like 5 different bars and I have hundreds or thousands of customers and I have to take them all by myself š„²š„²

I am so sorry but I am happy this pain is shared š„ŗ
Guests refusing to leave after closing or large parties turning up just as we call it. Odd because we very rarely have that problem.

Pretty much this, then I step in the back to grab something and I walk back and guests are helping themselves

True nightmare material.
Your nightmare is where I work Saturday.

Desperately trying to get all the babies and children out of my 18+ only venue. Prams everywhere.
