Some of the things I didn't hear them discuss in your class were speed, efficiency, ordering the bottles for easy accessability, managing and using ice, preparation for the beginning of the day, bar speak for customers, the role of the bar keep with the customer, etc. I've often wanted to take a bar course, not just for the recipes, but for the knowledge of successful techniques and tips.

You learn a lot about home bartending here at TC, but nothing beats learning from successful professional experience in order to prepare for a job in the profession. Sadly, after 30 years, it sounds like your instructor never mastered much more than a quick pour.
