Ambidextrous
December 21st, 2007
One of my new favourite bloggers, the Graveyard Barista has hurt his shoulder working, I’ve only been working in a bar for about a month now but I know how much it sucks to hurt something so integral to your job. For me, it’s cutting your fingers, you have your fingers near alcohol and limes all night and when you cut your finger you are in for a great deal of discomfort all night. Reading Humble Pie, Gordon Ramsay mentioned that chefs learn how to cut with both hands so that if they cut their hand they can still work. So I’ve been doing exactly that, pouring drinks, squeezing limes, cutting limes and anything else that I would normally do with my right hand, switch it over. It feels really wierd to start with, but you get the swing of it.
