Winding down after a shift, because of the shift, is a work expense. So, what are you spending when you say, “Ugh, I had a shit day, and I need a drink. Want to go next door?” and spending three hours of your life complaining about the crappy guests you had that day (a process you’ll repeat again and again on future bad days)? Have you ever added it up? Does one post-shift vent session make up the earnings of one of your shifts? More than one shift? And if so, are you okay with trading hours of your hard work, only to complain about work and to drink that money away?
