Our reading
A bartender says bar regulars are the ‘biggest opps’ because they assume her time is theirs. She’s not a therapist, but they treat her like one. It’s not that she doesn’t like them—she just doesn’t want to be their entire world.
One regular got upset because she forgot he drove a Corvette. It’s not a car, it’s a symbol. He needed her to remember, not just serve. She’s not a memory aid, she’s a bartender.
She ends with a warning: don’t expect her to fix your life. She’s got her own to live, and it doesn’t involve your Corvette.
