This myth comes from the notion that since bartenders are social butterflies who are always on the prowl, it would only make sense that after or even during a work shift behind the bar, they are bound to fall into some type of sexual activity.

Giving away lots of free drinks at a bar is called stealing. As a bartender we have to learn the flow of the other bartenders behind us, the security and safety of those around us, when to kick the drunks out and deal with irate customers.
