Bartender Girls

United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom, bar work is not generally regarded as a long-term profession, but more often as a second occupation, or transitional work for students to gain customer experience or to save money for university fees. As such, it lacks traditional employment protections and therefore has a high turnover.
The high turnover of staff due to low wages and poor employee benefits results in a shortage of skilled bartenders. Whereas a career bartender would know drink recipes, serving techniques, alcohol contents, correct gas mixes, licensing law and often share cordial relationships with frequent customers (known as "regulars" in some parts of the world), short term staff lack these skill sets. Some pubs and bars prefer more experienced staff, although chains tend to accept inexperienced staff subsequent to in-house training.
