(vē ī pē) The Very Industrious Person (VIP) is a brother or sister in arms, a fellow sufferer at the drunken hands of the masses and a fellow reveler in drunken excess. In other words, a tender of the bar. Some VIPs might work at nicer or busier clubs than you, while others may be paying their dues at some crappy chain restaurant. And like all of us at one point or another, sometimes the VIP is in between jobs. But the VIP is always someone who has walked many miles in your shoes.
VIPs can be easy to spot if you know what subtle signs to look for, but as a general rule let them identify themselves as some of us just like to fly under the radar when we're out on our rare nights off. Look for a wry demeanor and excessive drink knowledge when in doubt.
Common variations: Worn-Out Waitress, Off-Shift Stripper, Upwardly Mobile Barback, and 'Tender to the Stars.
Behavior: Despite rumors to the contrary, not all barfolk are hard-drinking, foul-mouthed fountains of social mirth and denizens of drama. Some of us don't cuss.
Quote: "Wow, and I thought my bar was messed up."
Tips will almost always be very generous, as Industry workers like to promote good Tipping karma.
