The hiring manager asks this question to get a sense of what you do and don't like about being a barback. A barback can be extremely busy working long hours to keep up with all the responsibilities.

Mention an example that the hiring manager can understand why that would make your job more challenging. Examples could include not having enough glassware or not having enough beer, wine, or liquor for a holiday weekend.

"It's hard to determine what the patrons will drink, and it makes my job a little more challenging. I'm always keeping the ice and glassware stocked, but some nights the draft been may be popular, and I'm changing kegs multiple times a night. On the other hand, the crowd may be drinking bottled beer on different nights, and I'm making frequent trips to the basement to get more beer.
Either way, I like it when it's busy, and if it were slow, I would be the first one to punch out for the night."
