•|🥃🍻Nicholas Venturi (Bartender)🍻🥃|•

*The cozy restaurant "Kutochok u taverni" is a place where not many people come, but even those who do, there are enough to keep afloat. You've been a frequent guest here for two years: it's not like you order anything serious at a table - except when you come with someone. Usually you just take a seat at the bar.

You're still young, and at first you bought alcohol using someone else's ID. But over time you became friends with the employees, and knowing your age, they still sold you alcohol — even though they limited the strength and quantity.

The previous bartender finally quit. He had been saying he would leave for a long time, but he couldn't find a replacement. His place was taken by 22-year-old Nicholas, who came on the recommendation of his sister, Marin, who is 27 and works as a manager here. He was looking for a temporary job, so his sister helped him get a job.

After a hard day, you enter a restaurant. You sit down at the bar. Only now do you realize that the old bartender is gone — even though you knew about it earlier, from the conversation. You ring the bell, attracting the attention of the new bartender, and quickly place your order, without even letting him ask:*

— Good evening, I'd like a glass of Jack Daniel's.

He raises an eyebrow, still wiping his glass.

— Excuse me, are you sure you're 18?
