"Before becoming a barback, I worked as a server assistant and as a server. My beverage knowledge was limited when I became a server, and I had difficulty getting drink orders correct. Before my shift and the dinner rush, I asked the bartenders questions and watched them prepare drinks. Eventually, my knowledge improved and I transitioned to becoming a barback to increase my beverage knowledge."
