I Bartended tonight !

My pops co owns a pub so I bartended for one of his bartenders that called in sick. I worked a 5 hour shift and got a little over 80 bucks in tips. Which made me think that drunk people tip more than sober people. Funny how that works out. lol

Yeah it was a lot of fun. I had not done it in quite a while and wanted to help my dad out. It was quite loud in the place cause we had an English Premier League game on one of the big screens and the chicago bears game on the other. People love sports and beer! quite fun!

The minimum wage here in California is 7.75 per hour. So I made more in tips than in what I would have gotten paid in hourly wages. However its just to help out family. I have a great dayjob!

I've been thinking about this. One of my friends asked if I could help her out at work part time. I'm not sure yet.

Bartending is so much fun. I've been averaging 200 bucks a night and I only 'work' 2 1/2 hours!

Plus it helps that your a pretty decent looking woman who is social. Men drink a lot more than women (at least at most bars I've been to) and always tip the ladies better.!~ razz

I didn't know that bartending was so much fun and paid well. Have you ever bartended elsewhere?

Bartending is the best "career" I ever fell into!!


Great hours, short shifts and loads of fun.

Granted with any job there are the A holes but overall its a great time.

cool
