The Bartender: Anthony Chelotti

Age entered the industry: 16, as a dishwasher

What he likes about his job: You never know who you are going to meet. It’s different every day so the networking is great.

A good story: I was bartending in Newburyport about seven years ago. I had a client who had a few too many drinks and was going to drive home. I followed him out, took his keys and paid for a cab. He came in a few days later carrying a Dunkin Donuts bag. He thanks me and said I probably saved his life. He gave me the bag. Inside was a coin. He said he collected coins and this one was worth about a thousand dollars. I thanked him and threw it in a drawer, not really thinking it was true. A couple of years later, I had it appraised. It was worth $1,000. Biggest tip I ever got.

On winning the lottery: I would pay bills, take care of my family and donate to charity. Then I would take a trip and rent a villa in Italy for a while.

Dream job: I would be a rock star. I am a musician. That’s what we all dream of.
