Occasionally she would go out with coworkers and other members of the staff, where they would carpool downtown to a bar and surround one of the large tables in the back of a bar and trade stories about their days, friends, the management (regardless of presence as a real complaint can always be escalated) or their families. Bartlett often marveled at the generosity showed byt he lower level functionaries, and she, perceiving herself as a higher level employee at the zoo, would often over-compensate to prevent anyone of the lower level functionaries from perceiving her as overly punctilious vis-a-vis her position and/or relativity to theirs (and its respective social requirements) which led irrevocably to the lower level functionaries impression of her as being a precocious cougar of sorts and an easy mark. When Bartlett would get a little tipsy, due in large part to her generosity, she would often find herself in the middle of a screed, condemning the very institution that put food on all of hteir tables, much to the amusement of the LLF due to the rung/ladder type of relationship they had to the whole institution and/or Manager of the Day.
