On episode thirty-one of The Platform Podcast I sit down with Caroline West, a bartender here in Nashville at one of my favorite spots in the city, Barstool! Originally hailing from West Texas, Caroline has been immersed in the service industry since before turning 18. Now a resident of Nashville, she has worked in various establishments across the city but has found a true home at Barstool, where she has been since its opening in June 2023. During our conversation, we delve into various aspects of the service industry, exploring topics such as the earnings of bartenders and servers in Nashville. Caroline shares some of the pet peeves she encounters behind the bar, and we also touch on her life beyond bartending. She runs Broadway Girls, conducting intriguing street interviews that promise unexpected insights. Tune in to discover more about her experiences and much more.
