Most people see Rob as an abrasive and unapologetic egotist. These people are essentially accurate. But in his own mind, Rob is the perfect hero that this flawed world needs to save it from itself.
Rob opened Shot Glasses because he likes having a place where he can drink for free, play video games, and share his infallible opinions with the world. It was even was worth working with Gary, his sworn nemesis since an unspeakable incident back in Junior High School.
Rob is surprisingly handy with tools. There’s nothing he can’t build, fix, or take apart. When he feels like it.
Gary marches to the beat of his own drum, except the drum is some obscure instrument that you’ve probably never heard of. He likes liking things, especially when no one else likes them. It’s not about being unique; uniqueness is too mainstream, he prefers to be peculiar.
Gary dumped his life savings into opening Shot Glasses because he enjoys the juxtaposition of “the unpopular kids” and alcohol. Plus he gets the chance to work with Rob, his best friend despite an unspeakable incident back in Junior High School.
Gary is allergic to gluten, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, seafood, shellfish, lactose, eggplant seeds, and FD&C Red Dye 40 (Red #40). Hard liquor is one of the few things he can safely imbide. Needless to say, he imbides a lot of it.
