BARTENDER BLUES
I can’t believe it, Greenie murmured angrily to himself as he stared down at the limes in front of him.
It’s not fair! It’s not right and I've had enough, he said to himself, getting more and more fired up as he stood there.
But then what can I do about it, he thought to himself, his shoulders slumping in defeat with the realisation that there was nothing he could do about it.
Greenie stood there staring at the lime until suddenly a voice full of impatience shouted out to him.
Yes. Yes sir I’m coming he said, as he picked the lime, turned and hurried back to the waiting customer.
And they better be the freshest of the fresh limes, said the customer in a gruff voice as he stood there waiting.
I’ll be having no second best for my 2 princess here, he said, gesturing to the young misses Maggie and Maddie Magpie playing in the water behind him.
Greenie turned, sweat dripping off his brow in the heat as he squeezed the fresh lime into the stainless steel shaker and looked up at Mr Maximillian Magpie, Ofcourse I would never consider giving Maggie and Maddie any less than the best Mr Magpie, Greenie stated emphatically as he strained the fresh Margarita mix into pre salt rimmed glasses and slid them along to Mr Magpie.
Good. That’s good to hear Greenie, because if you ever do, you’ll never work in this or any other industry again, I’ll make sure of it, Mr Magpie threatened as he grabbed the Margaritas and turned abruptly to the 2 spoilt, squealing daughters behind him, without not even a thank you.
Greenie slowly wiped the bar down, staring at the family as they frolicked in the water, not a care in the world, as Greenie suffered in the heat, on his feet and putting up with the bad attitudes.
Well Greenie thought, staring out at the super rich, super horrible family, bugger them and their bad attitude he thought as he cut up the freshest lime for himself and squeezed it into the silver shaker, made himself the biggest freshest, coldest and most expensive Margarita, put it on Mr Magpies account, took off his apron and walked out, sipping the deliciously cold drink.
I hope that you enjoyed the Bartender Blues and I'd love to thank @wrestlingdesires for facilitating this great contest , as well as @papilloncharity and @fermentedphil for giving us these great photos and @melinda010100 and @dreemsteem for donating the prizes!

And Your story is so "Real"!
It's what happened right here!
This was a biker, hotrod, artists little island,
no cops, no nothing 3 constables when they got
around to it...
Now it is "Full" of Magpies treating those that are and have been there the same!
And...
Lots that were maybe $5000 have now hit $40,000!
That's what they do...🤔😲🙁
You have a Awesome Wonderful Day,

Yes...😢...her saga isn't over quite yet..🤐...so wish me luck...sauver/retten/salvataggio/salvar....
The Bartender Blues ... The Unfriendly Boss and Customers Blues ... !LUV nice story, this could be me, at least I am green too ;-) no money of the world would hold me long to a job where I am not finding this really making sense to me.
HAAAAA YES! After 35yrs in hospitality, there's definitely more than a few stories like that and more that I could tell. 🤣
One day, when I've got more time, patience and a ghostwriter to write them for me while I have a little drink and tell the tales...And some more might even come out here in the future too!
ok, let me count... 35 + maybe 20 ... so we will have to wait another 10 years for your memoires book? :-( oooh.
better you look for a ghostwriter right now, than if its a best seller maybe can settle up earlier in a cool leather armchair with your drink ;-)
Yes, it has crossed my mind a few times, but they cost money too...so it's that cycle...need money to hire a ghostwriter, need the ghostwriter to write the book to make the money to be able to afford to hire the ghostwriter...🙄
Plus I need the cool mushroom leather armchair and drink to start the stories off for the ghostwriter... 🤣..
I love reading and hate writing because I find it soooo tedious...but I love writing cause I have soooo many stories to tell.
And actually I have written heaps of stuff over the past decade or so.
Hmmmm maybe I should publish them here...🤔..
Haha oh I see, the main problem is to find the right armchair. And the right old house with an open fireplace, crystal glas on a silver tablet. And the cigarr or would you prefer a pipe? Therefor you need the bestseller first !LOL
maybe you find a ghostwriter here on hive, somebody who has time and woul like to write your stories down for you and of course why not publishing here? or both. selfpublishing is become so easy by time :-)

Well actually...hmmm...my mind is now bouncing around with ideas on the armchair (though I have the house in mind...🤣..) and I would take the cigar..I love the smell of cigars but don't smoke anymore...Anyway....the seed has been planted and it is growing in all directions...🤣
And talking about writing...I'm just finding one of my onw, original favourite short stories to post on here now!
You have inspired me! 😃
BLACK ALIEN ON MY FIG TREE
"Oh no!" ... the little green bird lays his head to the side .... "What is that big strange bird? Do you think he wants to steal my fig? Hmmm. But I don't see a beak. Big he is. And black. In the middle, a single gigantic eye, so big that I can see myself reflected in it. And someone must have plucked out the poor bird's feathers, because I don't see any."
Nervous he hops from one foot to the other
"What am I going to do now? I don't want to share my fig with the photo bird. Shoo! Go away, back to earth with you, this is my fig tree universe!"
the end
Finaly I had a little idea dear @wrestilingdesires I know its been a while I joined. Thank you for tagging me and much fun to everyone here :-)
Thanks so much for the story :) I wonder who the alien is!!!

🤣🤣🤣 Hey, I still found it! 😂
OMG you're true! The little green bird didnt think about this!
So it could be. No, for sure it's an UFO and had lost it's feathers while entering the earths athmosphere.
Poor little universe bird all melted and now only a black if it's former beauty.
Bit green bird now sees true beauty inside and is willing to share the fig !LUV
The little green bird was just trying to protect what he thinks is his. Lol
Nice story
Jealousy and Pride
Mark, Steven and Stella has been very close for quite sometime. They did things together and they made sure never to hide anything from each other.
Steven doesn't like to be corrected because he feels he's always right since he's the most brilliant. Though he likes carrying people along and there's no dulling moment when you're around him. Mark on the other hand is a very quiet person, he likes doing things on his own but still likes being around Stella because he likes her.
Mark has always seen himself as a very handsome and attractive looking person, so he never made his intentions to Stella, he feels she will figure it out herself. Since Stella loves being around Steven, Mark had to follow them around.
Hey guys, look at this water, let's play a little, it will be fun said Steven, Mark disagrees saying "playing outside with the water was meant for kids and not grownups". Stella smiled and said "there's no harm in trying out something new"
At that moment, Mark felt Stella and Steven were already dating and they didn't tell him. She had never disagreed with me before why now, something is wrong Mark said to himself.
Steven and Stella headed to the water side and began to play. Mark feeling so jealous and disappointed quietly walked away believing that they're more ladies out there who will fall for him.
I'm sure my friends @vickoly and @preets will like to join the contest.
Hopefully Mark tells her, before it's too late 🤯 Otherwise his fears will become reality.

Such a shame that Seven, Mark and Stella can't be open and honest with each other!
It's so unfortunate for the both of them
Yes, lets hope that their real life dopplegangers are able to be more open with each other...
I hope so too 😃
