Former bartender here- food safety permit in King County (Seattle) was $20 2 yrs ago- it covers the basics-- and there are very stupid, careless people in restaurants. No certified food managers needed on duty,- never even heard of that..
Any 15 yr w half a brain can pass the required test-- the bartender 1 is harder
Truth- I'm a bio nerd and bartender to pay for undergrad- once a recruiter chastised me for not annotating that I 1. Worked full time and did school full time with zero debt and 2. That my work was bartending! I adopted the "my school was so tough they didn't offer minors only double majors, so I joke that my bartending is my psych minor"
