Barman? at the counter in a stadium? hmm.. suppose you could, but most people reserve that term for someone serving at an actual bar. I think you're wrong on that one.what do we call that, a barman??
Anyone else got another term?
Fun with semantics

The place where you are served is a bar, no matter what it looks like. A bar can be a building with a bar in it, but there can be a bar in a building that is not a bar, as in this case where the bar is in a stadium. Clear?
Only other term is a barmaid, the female of the species.
barmaid is such an antiquated word.
if i was female and worked in a bar, no fcuker would be calling me a maid!

But still the most commonly used.
If you were female and worked in bar, I'd go to different bar.

All I require from any barperson is the ability to serve drinks and give me the correct change. However, I have no doubt that drinks from barmaid Gregina would no doubt come with a side dish of 'famous sense of humour'. Hence the voting with my feet.

Not at all, my comedy genius balances your lack of wit. Plus, I feel that my tolerating your role as my sidekick, allbeit a sub-standard one, may help your self esteem. I'm a charitable guy.

Of course there can be bars in establishments that are not necessarily bars.
But in a stadium where you've got people selling burgers, dogs, cola and beers from behind a counter, I wouldn't call that a bar!
As for the barman/barmaid debate, we've got a wonderful gender-neutral term: bartender!

Typo corrected for you mate. I didn't think you knew people called you that, but nice to see you accept it gracefully. Well done.
