* '''Final verdict''': Almost all of the wicks are describing that a character is a bartender, which [[Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs isn't a trope on its own]]. It also has a lot of Zero Context Examples, and the single correct wick indicated that 'Bartender gives life advice' might be Administrivia/TooRareToTrope'.

* '''Solutions'''
** Nuke trope and yard tropable concepts
** Rename trope to something like LifeAdviceGivingBartender and redefine it to be specifically about life advice giving bartenders.

* MundaneMadeAwesome.{{Webcomics}}: The Slice of Life webcomic ''Webcomic/NectarOfTheGods'' has these kinds of moments [[http://www.drunkduck.com/Nectar_of_the_Gods/ throughout the entire comic]], considering it's just a comic about [[TheBartender bartenders and mixing drinks]]. The writer uses a bunch of plots, [[EvilInc some evil corporation]], rivalries and drama that might make the comic slightly stray from its SliceOfLife setting just enough to make it interesting. '''These bartenders are just mixing drinks, no life advice mentioned'''.
* MassEffect2.TropesAToF: A few of them. One is a turian in the Dark Star on the Citadel, not really that memorable except for the fact that he subverts the whole "collector of gossip" trope, and that he provides Shepard with a GargleBlaster. Another is a batarian in Afterlife on Omega who tries to kill you. But the best is [[CoolOldLady Matriach Aethyta]], found in Eternity on Illium, who provides a memorable [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech The Reason We Suck Speech]] against her ''entire species''. [[DirtyOldWoman And she's remembered for other things as well.]] '''TheReasonYouSuckSpeech is quite the opposite of life advice'''.
* MsFanservice.VideoGames: Tifa is one of the most iconic {{Ms Fanservice}}s in all video games, a [[TheBartender bartender]] who wears a very tight, sleeveless white shirt that exposes her midriff and places a lot of emphasis on her famous bust. She also wears a tight black miniskirt that shows off a killer pair of legs. Finally, her victory pose is full MaleGaze, with Tifa stretched her arms over her head and then behind her back, putting her chest out. ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' goes the extra step of giving her JigglePhysics during the animation, and allows a PantyShot from certain camera angles. The [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake remake]] of ''VII'' tones her breast size down to something more reasonable, but they're still very large and the rest of her design is virtually unchanged, but for covering up her legs in leggings for ZettaiRyouiki. However the dress remake Tifa wears at Don Corneos’s is definitely Ms Fanservice material with ample cleavage and {{Sideboob}}. '''No mention of life advice'''.
* VideoGame/TheRedStringsClub: TheBartender: You play most of the game as Donovan, mixing cocktails and extracting information from your patrons. '''Still no life advice'''.
* VideoGame/SunDogFrozenLegacy: Not fleshed-out as individuals, but bartenders are how the player accesses the BlackMarket, in addition to selling food and drink. '''This is still about bartenders existing'''.
* VideoGame/{{STALKER}}: TheBartender: Several of them. In a [[SarcasmMode shining display of creativity]], the bartender at the 100 Rads Bar (the bar in Rostok, the main Stalker settlement in the Zone) is called '[[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Barkeep]]'. '''These bartenders don't give life advice either'''.
* VideoGame/ParadiseKiller: TheBartender: Sam Day Break is one of these, and he's very good at his job. His hang outs involve him waxing slightly poetic about ideal ways to mix drinks and how to treat his customers. [[spoiler:He even kept Lady Love Dies' usual glass and has been transporting it between islands, and he eventually returns it to her if she hangs out with him enough.]] '''Once again, chairs'''.
