Better solution:
Real bartender comes back with Glazlo, who Wally convinces to hire Jason. Then Wally convinced Glazlo he’s 21, and drunken revelries continue.
Nope, because Walky would’ve felt compelled to “defend his sister’s honor” (Because Walky) and Jason would’ve had to thrash him in self-defense. These things haven’t happened, so we know Walky doesn’t know.
thejeff
Not sure about that, but he would have reacted in some fashion.
Jason’s hinted at it, but it seems Walky hasn’t caught on.
A friend of mine came up with a strong defence of the word “adulting”, since it indicates that being an adult something you have to actively be doing, not just a natural state of people over the age of [some arbitrary age between 15 and 25 depending on culture and context]. And, therefore, that there are times when, due to tiredness, disability or whatever, we might find ourselves unable to adult. As someone who’s been waiting for an autism diagnosis for years and doesn’t feel they can say “sorry, it’s my autism” until I get one, I quite like the idea of being able to say there are situations where I just can’t adult.
I’m not sure Jason would agree, but I think he’s only using the word because he’s paraphrasing Walky.
Fun fact according to most word experts (yes that’s a thing) a word is a word the moment it is said, being in the dictionary means nothing to the validity of a word. As long as you have a meaning behind it it can be world.
He did, but that was due to firing someone literally right before that, creating an opening. Though, I suppose it’s possible they were still understaffed.
NelC
They’re obviously understaffed as of a few strips ago, as Barb was away for long enough for four or five customers to get served.
Because Jason doesn’t want to get UN-reemployed, Walky. And as an Official Employee, Jason must follow the rules. You DID notice what happened that time he didn’t, right?

Mary was assigned to me for a while. And it’s funny, I wouldn’t write any differently than I do now, but I would read it back and it would seem like I was being much more hostile.
This is the sort of thing that makes me curious to find out what I’d get stuck as. Not enough to go through the process of figuring out how to let it override my gravatar stuff.
Gah… that’s expensive. I mean, our course in Nevada is about as long and we have to take an exam in person, but it costs $20.

I’ll make you feel the exact opposite then. Here in Ohio, as I’ve been told by bartender friends, there isn’t a licensing requirement by law, even if many employers do still require the equivalent certification, and the class is about $10 for a online class which many employers are willing to cover the costs of, including allowing completion on the clock, because it helps cover their asses if the bartender messes up.

It’s funny because it’s true!

(least interesting scenario: Bartender comes back and calls their bluff, Jason fesses up and points out it’s Walky’s prank, no harm done)

It’s Walky!…’s prank

Oh the arbitrary bullshit of being an adult. Oh the insane about of wading through bullshit that is arbitrary.

Jason will now charge Walky for the drinks he’s been giving him all day.

And call for a ride to take him back to the dorms.

Jason must be really drunk if he’s using “bullshit” as an adjective and the word “adulting” in any context whatsoever.

DailyBrad
I wonder if Galasso will just roll with it. I hope so, since Jason looks like he might be taking Walky’s lifeline he tossed out for him.
Reltzik
Of course, given the tipping situation, Jason’s likely to earn the hate and ire of his newest coworker.
…. and then end up hate-fucking her, because apparently that’s his thing.

((Really, it’s been over 24 hours since her first appearance and she’s not in a ship yet? We’ve been SLACKING.))

On the plus side, this means that once they sober uo they can have sex with no repercussions!

Not gonna lie, I took that in the wrong way.

Not gonna lie. I’m kinda shipping it. I image Jason being like that freaky lady from Futurama, going all “Dirty boy!” on Walky.

I like the full line. The title to end all titles.
Bicycle Bill
Agreed. It’s definitely an early front-runner.
Pablo360
The book is over halfway over but OK
Keulen
Adulting sucks.
Reltzik
Okay, but would he be more or less flexible for someone else exactly Walky’s age who came into his bar?
WikiDreamer
*golf claps for Walky’s true cleverness right here*
You done good kid….now get out the man’s bar.
Keulen
Considering how much of a lightweight Walky is, I don’t think he needs more booze.
Reltzik
So this pretty much confirms that Jason HASN’T been fired from his TA gig.
(Also, because Sal’s not a narc and all the administration has is Penny’s bullshit accusation.)
thejeff
How does it confirm anything like that?
Reltzik
Because he’s HAPPY this way. So it can’t happen.
Agemegos
Lack of a green card is going to stop him doing it.
thejeff
Fool! Galasso cares not for cards of any color. The bow-tied one has claimed the job. If he can hold it, it is his!
Dylan
Sorry Jason but you know what’s another arbitrary adulting rule? You need a license to be a bartender!

Oh God I’m hipster Danny. This is the worst case scenario

Fortunately, in Indiana getting that license is as simple as paying $100 for a 3-hour online need course.

Walky needs a bowtie. No man under 21 would dare put on a bowtie.

Dude ain’t wrong.

What do you know? Jason can teach!
BenRG
I figured that this would end with Jason dumping Walky one way or another. Now I know how it is going to work out.
Poskie
I do wonder if Galasso too will be swayed by the power of Jason’s bowtie and hire him?
Eldritch Gentleman
Anything is game at Galasso’s so probably yes XD
Bagge
Just a heads up Jason – it’s generally frowned upon for a bartender to boff his customers as well.
