venting frustration

i will never understand this at all...the bar where i work is ina fantastic location with a great clientele and staff....however, for whatever the reasons may be, the three people in charge (two owners and manager) are completely clueless....for one, the two owners tend to view everything as a pyramid, so when there is something that needs be done, they get whoevers at the bottom to do it (i.e. busboys or dishwashers) even if the task is obviously not their to do or not even something that should be done at the particular hour to which they ask it be done. second, they can't seem to get their priorities stright, like when they show up with the liquor order for us to count and put away on a friday night at 8pm, you explain that one to me or when they emphasize the corner next to the bar and how important it is for us to pick up all the little papers there because they think the clients eating will think the whole place is dirty (when most of them either don't notice or even remotely care when they see us running around)...and keep in mind they will this of us at the busiest time of the night all the while getting in everyones way

and then there is the manager who is just as lost....instead of trying to help on busy nights, he freaks out and starts yelling and pacing everywhere, to the point that some customers are almost scared. and the fact that we have over 20 beers on tap makes for out pub to be a great place to grab a pint and listen to some cover tunes....one catch, weve been out of about 6 of those beers, imports specifically, for the past month sending customers elsewhere who come for their specific import beer...it frustrates me and more than anything to see it run so badly when a 6 year old could do a better job, not to mention listen when the staff have suggestions or comments about the daily things.

it has just showed me that no matter how good of a restaurant/bar you have or how good the location, eventually it will go down if the ones in charge are no better than a bunch of monkeys throwing their own poo at each other....

anyways, now that ive vented that, ill be off....
cheers
