3. Your keyboard should be inclined in the OPPOSITE direction or not at all.
Most keyboards are angled or come with kickstands that angle the keyboard downwards towards you.
This is terrible for your wrists, ergonomically speaking.
You want the opposite, a keyboard that angles away from you to keep your wrists in a neutral/negative position. Prop your current keyboard up to fix this.

5. The show Bar Rescue is detrimental to the community.
Avoid supporting a show that is detrimental to the Bar community and Bartenders as a whole.
- The show doesn’t actually look for failing bars, it looks for owners who are suckered into being on TV.
- Almost every single dramatic thing you see is acted out or set up. The crew will literally try to get them to fight and yell.
- The stress test is extremely unrealized. They tell the people to have high demands. Any Bartender would fail.
- The “remodel” is awful. They use the absolute cheapest equipment that tends to start falling apart after 6 months. Like, making the places look worse than before.
- John Tapper can’t Bartend at all. He can’t even make a Manhattan. He called the working class dogs who need be starved into behaving. He has no actual skills in the restaurant industry. He is a great scammer and real estate-rich dude though.
- The contracts the bar owners sign are absolutely insane. The show is banking on the Bar failing a couple of years later, because I’d they do, everything they have will go to Tapper. Owners have to fight to survive even harder afterward
- Tapper will poach good Bartenders from these bars before the show and leave the bar short-staffed with the least experienced Bartenders to make the place look really bad.
- Everything about the show, from the drinks, business models, drama, and running a business is unrealistic and dramatic for no reason.
- Compare the show to Kitchen Nightmares. Gordon Ramsey actually takes care and follows up with the restaurants afterward. Comparatively, he actually does what he says and tries to help the places get through it.
- Please don’t support this show. It’s a disgusting scam on small business owners that lies to its audience’s face. It’s destructive to the bar community and gives unrealistic ideas to patrons.
