How To Be A Bartender -What Is A Bartender Salary?
It Depends what kind of bar you working in, How much money you gonna make, a night club place it’s interesting to work in a nightclub cause they have bar back come in they open at ten, barback open at ten, set up the bar cut your fruit you come in you waltz in like a stars with your bank put your bank in you start at ten at 1:30 you done, the bar cleans up coz you take your bank you walks out the barback cleans up puts everything away and you count your money and you made 400 dollars. Those jobs are hard to come by and you do it a lot of bullshit, it’s a tough job, it’s a constant bam bam bam bam and those customers always talking that can be rude, it’s lot of those but the benefits are there you know, I can put up this much bullshit if I’m making this kind of money, if I’m making this kind of bullshit and making this much money, I’m out just like any job you have. So good job, solid job like this place on a slow night you can still make a 150 bucks,on an average night you gonna make about 200, 250 bucks. On those goodnights like New Year's Eve even Christmas day, if you get to work in a busy night were your working alone and you don’t have a bar back, you make crazy money. You’re not gonna make, you know people that claim I make three four dollars a night those are rare occasions doesn’t happen that much anymore in the seventies and eighties it was like that, we call it stripper money when you make more than three or four hundred bucks. How much did you make? Stripper money that’s the industry way to say it, so you could expect to work four nights a week and make you’re rents, make your all your expenses and live a good life but again it’s gonna depend on where you at, what’s time at your at, how busy the bar you're at is. When you started a new bar and it’s got a lot of hype, it slammed every night, it tends to go like this, when you open a bar, it gets really busy and then it starts to slow down and level out, we’ve been here 17 years we’ve level out a place where we make a steady income, occasionally we peak in cash, it is very transient business so a lot people will work for one place for two or three years and go work somewhere else.
