I WENT TO BARTENDING SCHOOL AND HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED

 It’s my fourth day at the New York Bartending School and I’m sitting next to one of my classmates who I’ll call Malissa. Malissa is a short woman in her 20s with long dark hair. She works as a receptionist at a gentleman’s club, but she wants to be a bartender. If she can just pass the bartending test, she can get a job behind the bar instead of behind the reception table. The girls behind the bar look like her, she tells me. But despite the fact that they get to wear clothing at work, they make good money.
