A bartender at Hannah's Bar & Grille in Olympia, Brandi Goodrum, (yes, that's her real name) shows up to the interview with a latte in hand, sporting a big smile and a skull and butterfly T-shirt. It fits her personality.

GOODRUM: When I have to cut somebody off and they call me names. And fights.

VOLCANO: What's your most memorable experience?

VOLCANO: What's the biggest tip you've ever gotten?
