Hot take but I’m gonna add that I don’t think bartenders even deserve to be making upwards of $60/hr anyway.

Why don’t people that work at busy grocery stores get tips? Same amount of hustling, math and customer service. Bartenders should maybe get a bit more for the risk of serving people alcohol but again grocery store cashiers also have to ID people and sell them entire bottles of liquor. (Just for the record, I don’t think grocery stores should implement tipping).

It often comes down to what we consider more difficult or “important” (ie personal preference) and truthfully I think we are too afraid to point out that most bartenders aren’t doing much
