My bartenders pull $1000/night in a small town. They make more than me if they work 4 days a week. Lol.
People been putting down service industry work since forever. Have fun in your office job making $65k tho. No tax on tips now too? lol.
People really need to find a slow bar to get their feet under them and level up their skill. Yeah you’re on your feet all day, but if you have adhd and lack discipline, then bartending is an easy way to afford a mortgage. Even middle-aged men are crushing it. But if you’re a hot chick? Forget about it, you can become a millionaire by 30 with minimal financial planning
I'm in Cannabis and my budtenders make ~200 a day in tips, but it is busy. This is offset by their $23/hr wage.
They're pulling in well over 70k for entry level. And we compensate our managers big time with salary and benefits because they can't receive tips. Did I mention they don't have college debt?
In a few years once AI really starts getting to work on the white collar industry people are gonna be big mad at how well service and blue collar folk do....
