Confessions of a Former? Brooklyn Bartender…

Well guys, the time has come for me to announce that I no longer work at the cafe. After two long years and many fun memories, it’s done. Why? Well, there are a couple of reasons. You see, I quit, and then got fired. I know, but it’s true and I have no better way [...]
