We don't have a tipping system here, the way to tip the bartender is to buy him or her a drink... They have tip jars and such but it's not expected. The pay rate is pretty damn good though. I did however used to get tips when i was a delivery driver... that was sweet. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by spapad from Tuesday, March 03, 2009 9:32:56 PM)

It's a great job as long as you don't mind the long hours and you really get to know people very well! I still some people I used to wait on regular and they still remember me! And about after midnight, they would buy me drinks on their tabs. So I really didn't mind being up till 4 am with them. LOL
Sometimes they get way to hammered and you have to calm them down and make sure they get home safe but I never had a member get mad at me for telling they were a couple drinks over the line, always knew i could rely on someone to take them home safely.

Awesome! I know the bartender at the local pub. She always knows what to pour.... Great lady too, always have a laugh with her. It would like to do it for a while just for the experience.

I was a bartender for about ten years. I worked at a club and the regular drinkers who didn't change up their drinks I would have their drinks at the table when they sat down. I was fast and I had a great time doing it! Used to also do table side cooking for the waitresses when they were too busy and that was great, I used to pretend I was Julia Childs to me regular drinker customers and they loved it. The tender that took over after I left told me she hated me bacause everyone talked about me. So I guess I did the job well!
When I had Flora I had to change jobs to something I could do durring the day. So I went back to school a few years after she was born.
