Service Animals

Welcome to Service Animals — where the untamed stories of the service industry finally get to speak.

Hosted by Christopher Connors, this is the place where bartenders, servers, baristas, flight attendants, hosts, cooks, and everyone who's ever worn the weary smile of service gets to spill what really goes down behind the scenes.

Some stories are wild. Some are beautiful. Some are so raw they’ll make your chest ache — and some will make you spit out your drink.

Names are optional. Truth is not.

So whether you’re still on the floor, recently escaped, or just someone who’s always wondered what your bartender really thinks of you… you’re invited.

Join the Pride. Roar Your Truth. New episodes every week — no filter, no chaser.

I’m Christopher Connors — bartender, storyteller, and survivor of both heartbreak and the dinner rush. Service Animals is a raw, unfiltered podcast about life in the service industry — the wild stories, the quiet breakdowns, the outrageous customers, and the moments that keep us coming back. After hitting rock bottom post-divorce, I realized the one thing that’s always pulled me through: connection. Behind every bar, counter, or aisle is a person with a story worth telling. So I’m handing the mic to servers, bartenders, baristas, cashiers, line cooks, flight attendants — all of us who serve. You’ll hear confessions, rants, advice, and joy from voices that don’t always get heard. Leave a voicemail. Share your shift story. Join the pride. We’re more than just service animals — we’re a tribe. And this is our space to speak.
