Bartender wanders off from bar to socialize

There's currently two issues (although they could be connected).

Please use this thread if your bartender doesn't stay behind the bar but wanders off to socialize, leaving the bar empty. Use this thread: Mixologist behind bar, but not tending it, unavailable for orders | EA Forums - 12885827 if the bartender stay behind the bar but you can't order anything because he chats with the customers there or does idle bartender interactions.

Issue: Bartender leaves the post behind the bar to walk over to a table and socializing with other Sims, leaving the bar empty. Sometimes he's also stuck outside but also because he's socializing there.

For the bar in HoB, Sara walked of to stargaze on the bench with her husband instead of tending the bar. No new bartender spawned.

There are instances where they leave the lot and a new bartenders arrives. This is not what this is about.

Since my post was a duplicate, I'm just reposting my comment and screenshot here. I'm definitely not seeing it as often, but I have had the bartender still come out from behind the bar to socialize with a patron. In the screenshot you can see the bar is left unattended and the bartender is out on the porch talking to a patron. This was NOT at a time when a new bartender was coming in.

Just today I tried to have a date at the bar in Britechester and the Mixologist wasn’t making any drinks. Then she left the bar to talk to a guy and when I tried to command my Sim to make the drinks himself, she came back to the bar, blocking it.
The option to order came up, I ordered a drink, she left the bar to talk again to the same guy.
After a while I resetSim the mixologist and she got away from the bar for long enough for my Sim to make drinks for his date.
