ALBANY — AOC will be waiting tables once again.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is returning to her restaurant roots this week to show support for the federal Raise the Wage Act and abolishing below-minimum wage for tipped workers in the Empire State.

The Bronx-born freshman congresswoman plans to pour a few pints and take a few orders at a restaurant in her district on Friday at an event organized by Restaurant Opportunities Centers (ROC) United, the Daily News has learned. The exact location will be revealed later in the week.

The bartender could share her real life experience by showing everyone how she made a living stealing out of the tip jar.

I hate how bartenders are trained nowadays. They have too much authority, and women in that position tend to abuse it. In one case, I and some friends were out in our own hometown after a funeral (for a friend), and as we walked in one of the local beer holes, the bartender immediately said that one of us had to leave. We asked why and the bartender assumed that our dear friend “Cindy” was drunk. However, what the idiot failed to recognize was that she was just living with the permanent effects of having had a stroke two years earlier. I’ll bet AOC is one of those “empowered” bartenders, and I would love to give her a real reason to cut me off and throw me out.

Do her "bartending roots" include stealing redistributing tips from waitresses?

Maybe she can try her hand, or other parts, at pole dancing.

Actually she couldn’t get work as a bartender and turned to waitressing but couldn’t hold those jobs for long - all that in a climate where those two jobs were in high demand ... now she’s finally found an acting job were she gets to shoot off her mouth with someone else’s words.

How hard would it be to replace bartenders with a mixed drink vending machine?

Not really.

She's not mad max waters butt ugly, she does speak English with a modicum of fluency, she has a pair at least as big as hillary and she knowa how to play the game.

She got in, got a chance and is now maturing her base to the liking of her handlers.

There's a ton more enemies to get into Congress and The Young Turks / New Socialist Democrats have to now concentrate on getting more of these enemies into American politics.

rashid tlaib's, "We'll impeach this motherfucker" .... ilhan omar's love for islam and jihadist over The USA and aoc's down home bartenderingness are in and probably will not be impeached out.

WE in FR should know better .... these people are not playin' around and calling them loser is like we being "ridiculed" with "right wing conservative"

Like .... yah .... so ?

She has the intelligence of a bartender and a face for radio.

IOW, she’s for higher unemployment for the people she claims she wants to help.

I’ve never been in a decent bar where they could be choosy; in my area the bars are dying as the Americans flee, and if anything they are getting quite lax (don’t check IDs and such). The bartenders need the tips, and only get assertive if they need to.

A succubus is supposed to be attractive; angry Latinas with chips on their shoulders are a dime a dozen in the NYC metro area.

There’s a reason she’s single.

“Maybe she can try her hand, or other parts, at pole dancing.”

She had to land the congressional job first, to pay for the much needed breast implants.

Leftists like the Euro economy so much that we might as well go ahead with standard “tip included” signs on all restaurant checks at the same time.

Beer or wine pourers should be pretty basic, along with some other favorites, but if you want the full bar options, flourish and experience, you still probably want at least one bartender on hand.
