Tony's was a place I worked at for an extremely long time. Started as a busboy and just did every other job imaginable. The place was cool. Very flexible to my needs. Allowed me to go through high school and college while making what I thought was pretty decent money to get by. I was even able to keep the job as a waiter or cook while I made it a secondary employment position. They were very flexible except for one thing. They would never let me tend the bar. They knew me better. I could drink and give away the nights profit in a heartbeat. I used to drink hard and made sure that anyone else I was giving a drink was drinking hard also. No measured drinks out of my hand. Buy 2 beers the 3rd is on me. I knew what it took to line my pockets and satisfy my liver. The bottle was my devil and they knew better then to let me near so many. Eventually I grew up so if I needed to go back to work at Tony's they could put me behind the bar now. I'd do more damage to their profits cooking now. My waist line is the prrof.
