I’m a regular at my local bar I want to be more social able with there workers and be more friendly, now I understand they’re working so they’re not in the same social situation has me but I just want to build connections since I always go there

How should I go about it ?

Start small and be genuine about it. Remember their names and use them when you order. Ask simple questions like how their shift is going or if they’ve tried any new drinks lately.
The key is timing though. Don’t try to chat when they’re slammed with orders. Pick slower moments when they can actually engage. Also, be a good tipper if you aren’t already – it shows you respect their work.
Maybe bring up something you both might have in common, like local events or sports if that’s your thing. The goal isn’t to become best friends overnight, just to move from “regular customer” to “regular customer they actually enjoy seeing.”
