TikTok Bartender Doesn't Understand Minimum Wage or Taxes! 

This comment deserves some kind of award. You summed up how accurate life is with people honestly. It’s like those chopped videos that show one side and totally skipped over the part that everyone needed to see.

OI know because people are dumb as hell man,,

The people on the Internet now merely adopted the Internet, some of us were born in it, molded by it. We didn't look outside our screens before we were already men, by then to us it was only disappointing.

Don't believe the News either

We all have to accept that we're living in a sad reality, tar and feathering wasnt as offensive as being this stupid

I was rolling when he said that😂

@@justsayin4632 Dude, me too! Laughin at the thought of aoc stomping her feet and yelling “Hey!” 😤 when she sees this. Shout out from SoCal

The best part, she even moves and acts like AOC. Even down to the facial expressions and rate of speech.

@@AhKeelU She does! Only thing she needs to say is the word “and” so it sounds all exaggerated like “ayund!” like a five -year-old says it. Greetings from SoCal.

I did not understand it. :(

@Max S Max S.

@Max S what?

n0x InferuS some incels have a strange obsession with Alexandra Cortez, who is a young female congresswoman popular among kids (she used to work as a bartender). There's a running gag that the alt right have a weird creepy obsession with her, because of her looks, that I thought was just name-calling. But the fact that this dude couldn't resist mentioning a random congresswoman out in an otherwise informative video kinda proves that point.

@@brotpros2306 Thank you! No wonder googling did not help. :)

How is this comment 11 hours old? The video only oh wait ok I see.

Maybe not everyone has White or Middle class privilege like you do! You should count your blessings that you at least don't have to work for starvation wages to hardly make ends meet. I added the 150.81 and the tips, and then divided that number by 70.8, and turns out she's only making $12.13 dollars an hour, which is starvation wages, she has every right to complain that she's not making at least $15 an hour. And that's before taxes!

They do not want lower taxes, they just want someone else to pay them!

My thoughts exactly.

@@MeowthGamer19 There's no white privilege.

Ah hahahaha

One let's you be stupid for a large audience, the other points out how dumb you are for smart audience.

No shit lol 😂 I do door to door sales doing gutter cleaning and window washing service, many of my customers tip $20 to $100, no way I'm claiming that haha

@@chasecharland1160 Why would you? It got lost on your way home :)

I claimed every cent of me tips. ;)

No need to claim if no one knows about it!

Haven't claimed any cash in over 4 years of pizza delivery. In fact not a single driver there has.

Why not both? An ignorant liar.

I can't live on $2 an hour... Your hair and style says you live on much more

She'll get an audit now 🤭🤣

1:01 It literally shows her cash tips earned as $708.00 She’s just ignoring that part. In her mind, tips are not part of her salary, it’s just people being nice.

She's distorting the truth, thus lying to gain attention. She knows what she did.

“Other people should have to pay more in tax, not me”

That's what I was coming to say

We should have some type of test that's required to confirm you're able to vote. Like at least a reading test.

Hahaha... no doubt! Maybe because my husband and I voted for President Trump, we made out just great, throughout the year, and on our tax return?

I'm so glad my boss taught me this at 16. When you say it like this, it really makes you think, "why the hell would I do that?" I've been close to 0 ever since.

People are so dumb.

Exactly. Utility companies do this to you, and sometimes your employer does it for incidental expenses

You are 💯% DB

I’ve known so many people that do that. They rely on the IRS as their savings account, then blow the refund on stupid stuff.

The cash tips that she probably didn’t report

@@icecreamjunkie6790 yup

cash tips are probably 3 times as high. Making her tips come out around 2800$

@@chowsu944 I HIGHLY doubt a diner waitress is making 90k p/y.

@@jsmith434w I'd strongly disagree. I was a waiter for a long time, I know a lady that in one year officially made 50k in WV. We have the lowest cost of living and lowest wages in the country, I'm talking $8.75 minimum wage. I can confirm if I averaged out even I was making upwards of $20 an hour per day in most cases.

You left out sexist and bigoted. Please remain where you are and the thought police will be around to collect you soon for reeducation. Thank you.

She doesn't make that, that's just minimum wage.paid by restaurants. It doesn't include tips.

@@screamtoasigh9984 The point ----------> . . . . You

@@Cocytus127 I got the point it was 'eh' on the snark scale. I was pointing out her point is wrong. Those little dots are a good representation of her IQ though.

These people are alternately dishonest and stupid. They omit the tips (oopsie), effectively telling us they're stupid enough to work at a loss.

Republicans have become the pro swamp establishment party. It’s embarrassing.

Eating out instead of making your own food 🤣🤩

Prices are going up anyways

In my country (Australia) the minimum wage is about $20 or so, but there is NO tipping unless you WANT to reward the waiter for exemplary service. Most waiters are lazy C**nts who never put any effort in, they might as well be robots. The USA system at least means that waiters work for their $$ and put effort in.

@@chrisrace744 that's what tipping was always meant for

I know wait staff here in Dallas (pre-pandemic) that make $800-$1000/wk only working Thurs-Sun. Usually only 5-6hrs each day. My cousin who bartended before getting hired in his degree field made on average $900 just working Thur-Sat not even at a high-end club.

Damn that is pretty solid. You must be getting great tips

I know girls that make 300 a night easy in cash tips. This is a place that is a pool hall/bar with kitchen. Nothing fancy and they make 300 with 3 people working front of house. So any time i see any server or bartender complain about money then I immediately tell them to find a different place because tips ain't the problem, its the shitty business or your shitty service.

Please try to educate them. They can vote!

The only thing I didn’t like about it was when I had to do a bunch of side work which takes away from time that I could be making tips. Otherwise, I was making more than my friends with master’s degrees.

@@MrHippobear yeah and it seems that that’s the biggest complaint for most of my coworkers, but at the end of the day it’s a job and jobs require work.

That's the prime reason I stopped doing cash tips. You can always tell by how a waiter reacts to you tipping by card if he/she cheats the government out of money.

Exactly. I used to work in a bar and some of the waitresses used to do this. They would claim only a small percentage of their cash tips. This girl is so full of shit. If you’re a decent waitress, you can make a pretty good living on the tips. I would average anywhere from $50-100 in tips on an average night. Good nights I’d take home closer to $200. Every week I’d make at least $400-500.. sometimes even over $1000 in tips alone. There’s no way she only made $700 in 2 weeks on tips. Unless she works at the slowest restaurant with bad tippers.

If she reported cash tips, she'd probably owe money and would be making a video of why she had to "pay" to work 70 hours.

@@naisi Man fuck the government, if you tip someone that should be THEIR money, crazy how our founding fathers started a war over tax...and look at us now.

Why the fuck would anyone ever report all cash tips? That’s the definition of insanity. The positive economic impact of the money in my pocket is much higher than the government is going to have. The government sucks at everything it does. Why the fuck would you want to give them more money? Fuck them.

@Danilo Alves it's an abbreviation for " are not."

@Danilo Alves also ain't is a word. It's just used more in southern states like Texas (ironic useful in this video)

@@thefrontier2288 stupid people like you keep saying that... but that's like saying any compounded word isn't real. However "ain't" is in the dictionary, stop saying things that are easily disproved by just a quick search on the internet.

"My employer isn't paying me enough!" >Works in job where literal strangers give you money.

@@thefrontier2288 ain't true T. From Socal

Right.... Lol

Tell me about it.

LMAO For REAL! I spent YEARS working at a seafood plant and worked on average 60 hours a WEEK. Then I left there after i got a job on a crab boat and worked 18 hours a day 6 days a week. Granted, that was before I had kids, but still. 70 hours in 2 weeks is easy compared to that. And on a crab boat, if you ain’t catching crab, you ain’t making 💩. After some fishing trips, I’d have to come back in and UNLOAD other crab boats, just to have some money to bring home. The trips that we did get crab surely made up for ones when we didn’t. Cry me a damn river. 😂

Whoa, glossed over that 'two week part' in the video, though she was busting her ass off working 10 hours for a week straight. Turns out it could be she worked for 3-4 days a week. Fml, thanks for pointing that part out!

The intresting thing is that if she worked about 70 hours over TWO weeks, that means, assuming that she worked five days per week, , she worked about seven hours per day. After, all, 5x2=10. 70/10=7. Therefore, she worked less than someone with a standard 9 to 5 job, which is 8 hours per day. So in terms of hours worked per day of work, she's probably not working that much compared to many people. She seems to be presenting the fact that she worked like this in a misleading way to cause people to view her as a harder worker than she truly is.

just wait until they realize they don't like paying taxes (or at least realize all those hopey changey political promises were total horsecrap).

to be fair it didn't need broken down it need explained what they intentially left out to deceive people

@@bjkarana Yep, wait until the person (who they most likely voted for) increase taxes, gas and food prices already going up, utilities next. If $15 dollars gets implemented, geez, I wish them luck understanding that.

shhh shh, she decided to reproduce herself so no she need special treatment ookkaaay???

Yeah, they seemed to keep making a big deal about it being, “over 70 hours...” a standard work week is 40 hours...so for 2 weeks she was working less than a standard work week.

@@ltsmash1200 She probably figures her dumb audience will think she is working 70 hours a week since she was going out of her way to distort what was happening. (I've done 60-70 hours a week, it's not something I would want to do forever.) Yeah typical jobs are 37.5 hours a week because they subtract 2.5 hours for lunch breaks. She's not slaving away by any means but being bad at math seems be a consistent theme for this woman.

@@Lastjustice \ I never had a job that added lunch into the work hrs. If lunch was an hour you would be staying another hour to work. I often would eat on the go to leave early and beat traffic

@@BobBob-we3wr If you work for walmart, that's how they run it. You'd work 37.5 if you were full time. You had to take it by your 5th hour, because walmart got into trouble for making people work through their lunches. They made their poor practices your problem. If you went over 40 hours they got shitty with you. They never wanted to time pay over(outside of special circumstances.Like around Xmas.), but they wanted to magically get everything done with in the time you had, as you were doing 2-3 people's jobs. We'd say 80% of the work is done by 20% of the people. The people who sucked at their jobs seemed to rarely have anything said to them, but the people like myself who really worked, they would always come down on us hard. People noticed when i took a day off or was on vacation. My time felt like a pay check already spent when I walked into work, as I felt like I could work till midnight and still not have gotten enough done. Everyone knew I worked harder, as even the customers knew to ask for me. If you played the drinking game, how many times you heard the word Mike over the walki...you'd die of alcohol poisoning. I was really freaking good at my job, but the fools would promote me any higher. Infact I got a new manager who wanted to demote, so I left. I was a superviser trying move to an assistant manager, and this clown wanted to install his people after his store closed down. Even the people who used to work with his people were confused, as they're like Mike you work so much harder that this girl does who they wanted to give my job to. I did other things like work for the movie industry for two years(I put the Batsignal on top of the London House in downtown chicago.) and now I work for the government, so it's not all bad. I learned a lot so it was worth something.

That's great!!

Right? One of the last bastions of hope for a cash is king society is the fact that food service still depends on it.

We know the left claim them.

not familiar with MD, Mr. Dummy?

Who would trust a neurosurgeon to file their taxes? Who would trust a marine biologist to perform open-heart surgery? Your PhD only means you have a specialized knowledge and skill set. Yes, you are smart, but that doesn't make you a genius in all subjects.

Yeah... One specialty never equates to the other. Didn't we have a brain surgeon in a role that was not meant for him and everyone made fun of it constantly?

There's plenty of people with degrees that know fuck all about anything else. There was a doctor suggesting to the car dealership he didn't need an oil change, only keep adding clean oil to the car. I'd be scared let this man ever operate no another human being. There's plenty of educated dummies out there.

@@Lastjustice I would go so far as to say that the focus on specialization often comes to the detriment of other knowledge. I've worked on a college and university campus for almost 20 years and some of the dumbest/ignorant people I've ever met have been professors and other "geniuses" with letters after their names.

I'm thinking about becoming a waiter for a summer job between college semesters, do you recommend it?

@@ThatOneGuy-rb8jc see if you can get part time server part time hourly. Serve during busy hours thurs-sunday. Hourly for rest.

@@ThatOneGuy-rb8jc Yes, if anything it's a different job experience you learn unteachable skills.

Only up to $20 an hour? Are you going to try to transfer to a more upscale location? I was at a place that paid similar for a while until I found a new spot closer to the heart of the city.

Honestly tipping is a scam though nobody else gets tips and the people are already paying for their food. Making the customer make up the difference. This is just giving business owners more profit

35 years ago I often made $25 per hour as a waiter in a 4 hour shift. Minimum wage was, not sure? $4.25 or $5.00 per hour. If it folded, and was green, it wasn't declared.

Like my father told me when I started out, if you want a guaranteed refund or to pay minimal in, put 0 dependents. But then again, we know why they and the media are being kver dramatic.

What work do y'all do that requires you to file those forms?

My sister makes 200-400 a night in tips at a bar. This is part time work and she makes more money then most. If you change it to hrly only she would quit. Tips are king. Who wouldnt like a relaxed part time job you can make 30-90hr?

@@BobBob-we3wr People who don't get tips because they provide poor service.

@@lpsoldin3162 That's actually not true at least not entirely. If you are a bad server they just give you slower hours. Slower hours less customers, less tips. If you are good looking, clean, good at your job you get the better shifts. People who work the better shifts get great tips regardless of their service. Research has been done on the topic and it's been found that no matter how bad your service is, people who tip will still tip and it doesn't really affect the amount. So you work ethic will convince your employer to give you better hours, but doesn't directly affect your tips.

@@CynicalSnowflake ok

The amount of money that had to make to pay $20k in taxes means they should be making more than enough to have a sizeable savings unless they spend money totally irresponsibly. Not to mention the value of their house if their property tax is $10k

I remember the culture shock when I travelled to Germany for spring break a few years ago. The complete lack of server presence, the long hours everyone stayed at restaurants, alcohol being half the price of water (bottled water, at that); it all totally weirded me out. Everything took so long, the food portions were much smaller than I expected, and the whole restaurant was either too quiet or boisterously loud. At least McDonalds was the same, I could travel to another GALAXY and McDonalds won't have changed a bit.

I'm not against taxes. I'm against how taxes are spent, which is usually poorly.
