“Sometimes you run into people who change your life for the better. Those people are bartenders”

"Sometimes you run into people who change your life for the better. Those people are called bartenders” is a saying that has been printed on many images.

“Sometimes you run into people who totally change your life for the better. Bartenders.. Those people are called bartenders #Bartender” was posted on Twitter by Peter Alderin on May 7, 2014. The saying probably originated on an image.

“Sometimes you meet people who change your life for the better. Those people are called baristas” is a similar saying.
