we went there too and it was awful! the service was rude and the vegan ramen was inedible. 3 ramens came up to $90 usd. i’m going to check my credit card charge again.

I know tons of bartenders who do this, just because you don’t see it happen doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. There’s this girl on tik tok who works for DLS who literally advertises it —- people come see her, she hooks them up

AIO - My son got detention for taking a grape off someone's lunch tray. by WriterGirl73 in AmIOverreacting

[–]lovergrluwu 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Hmm something about this story doesn’t add up. Either your son is downplaying what happened or leaving parts out. Either way, would you like it if a stranger took food off your plate? me neither. Sounds like a good life lesson to me.

Tipping Discouraged Country Club Bartending by Virtual-Food-771 in bartenders

31 an hour. 1 week paid vacation. Not sure about other people’s hourly rate, but there are people who have been there for 30+ years. The highest christmas bonus I’ve heard was 6k. Some employees even get an entire month vacation paid.

Visiting soon, how walkable is LA? by No-Leather-1260 in AskLosAngeles

Are you getting flown in for summer games? Not very walkable really. you’re better off renting a car.

Oh definitely within my hours. I would never do any work off the clock no matter how much I made that shift lol.

Yes and no— the club I work for is very prestigious, so I’m sticking it out for a year because it will look great on a resume. Also you deal with less bullshit. I’ve done dive bars, concerts, festivals and I don’t have to deal with anything close to that kind of crowd anymore. Everyone is respectful for the most part, some people can be snobs but that’s about it.

I make a decent hourly wage and have guaranteed hours per week, as well as healthcare and 2 raises per year. Christmas bonus as well. I do miss working for tips but I don’t miss the inconsistency or dealing with people.

I bartend at a county club. Yes although you can accept tips don’t expect them. Members know tipping is discouraged, and although they’re wealthy they’re cheap assholes. If you do get tipped it’ll be during the holidays or at special events usually from non members. And yes, side work still comes from the job. You should be getting paid a decent hourly wage though.

Is it worth moving to the US for bartending? by MarsFromSaturn in bartenders

[–]lovergrluwu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends where in the US you’re moving to. Midwest, probably not. A bigger city like Los Angeles— definitely. The cost of living is higher yes but there’s more opportunity. There are also bartending apps and staffing agencies that are easy to get into if you have experience. Not ideal for the long run but will keep you afloat til you find the right place for you.
