Drink of choice:
Good beer or Jack and Coke
Indulgences:

When I am on the floor I try to have as much fun as I can assisting my staff, because it helps to raise the comfort level of our guests and everyone of the employees. If guests see you having fun and enjoying your work, they feel this is a great place to come and relax and enjoy it themselves.
