That's all very nice. However, they use the term "Mixologist" and therefore must DIE.

A barman is a person who makes a cocktail. A mixologist is one of those wankers who tosses bottles around like Tom Cruise in "Cocktail".

I think they're trying to differentiate themselves from what a lot of people see a barman as: Unskilled labour.

They should reclaim the term, or say "cocktail barman".

deeteeuk is a barman and proud of it.

and rightly so. If it paid better and didn't have the hours it does I might well be too. :)

You, of all people, can't begrudge someone a little pretension now, can you? ;)

I don't mind pretentious, but ludicrously enhanced job titles are a step too far. Like when our photopying staff became "reprograhics operatives". It sounds desperate to me.

Someone who engineers Martins?

ludicrously enhanced job titles

"Replenishment assistant" appears on a large number of CVs. It is my favourite.

"Ethanol technician"?

They mentioned Hawksmoor, thus I decree (DECREE!) that we will have to visit again at a time when I don't have meetings after.
