You grew up in your family's inn or tavern. You've helped run it since you were a child, cleaning, cooking, handling customers and such. After all these years, you've dealt with enough customers to learn how do deal with people.
What is your family's inn like? What's it called? Is it in a big city or small town? Is it popular? Is it well kept or rundown? Is it still running, or did it close down? Did you leave it for good, or are you planning to return and take it over? Work with your DM to settle on specifics.
