You seem to be missing the point here. Bartenders do not always work behind the bar. I worked as a bartender at the Sunshine Saloon in Pleasanton, California, for a few years and not all of my time was spent tending bar. A lot of time was spent taking in shipments and working in the backroom taking stock. Then after the bar closes we have to clean everything up. This is where the problem is - people will be employed as "bartenders" and will in fact serve drinks, but at other times they will not work as bartenders at all.... And employers will be paying their employees less than minimum wage when they aren't getting any tips at all.
Oddly enough.... I can still remember the phone number of the bar.
