Award-winning bartender and current El Gran Malo mixing maven Sheridan Fay shares her industry pet peeve: "Please respect that this is my chosen profession. Do not come to me drunk on a Saturday night and ask for, 'Whatever I would make myself.' And then proceed to mock me as a 'mixologist'. It is rude and unprofessional. What if I came to your place of work and and mocked you as a stock analyst. I made fun of your ability to read numbers like it's your job or something. Extend me the same professional courtesy you expect in your profession. This isn't a trend. This is a craft. We love our jobs probably more than you love yours." [Eaterwire]
