I never said they were walking home with minimum wage. I DO NOT PAY THEM TIPS. I pay them PAY. and their PAY is actually $2.50 an hour, not even minimum wage.
Jesus, what are you talking about? Of course you don't pay them tips. Holy moly, I never said you did. You pay them $2.50 and the rest of the federal minimum wage is usually covered by tips. How did anything I said come across unclear?
What we do 'guarantee' is bonus that will get them to at LEAST $10.00 an hour if it is a private event, or a brand new weeknight event that has yet to catch on (see, a business can have slow nights and survive, if you are investing in a new night).
Still have no idea what this has to do with anything I was saying. We're talking about fucking bartenders and how they NORMALLY make money, stop giving me unrelated anecdotes about your business.
agreed. rarely, but it DOES happen within our unique business model. Any slow night is overlooked due to the potential of the place.
Yes, which is why an increase in federal minimum wage BARELY AFFECTS YOU AT ALL WITH REGARDS TO BARTENDERS.
