I was bouncing at a bar in college when Lady Gaga was first getting huge, and we had a touchtunes that would play two songs for a dollar. So, sorority girls would come in put a dollar in, and play one lady gaga song and one other popular song at the time. It seemed like every third or fourth song was lady gaga. Being a sober person amongst drunk people playing the same songs all night long was getting on my nerves.
Lucky for me, there was a bar top game machine that also had touch tunes worked into the system. And, even luckier for me, I could play next for a dollar instead of the usual two dollars.
Every time lady gaga played, I'd put a dollar into the bar top console and I'd play next Hall & Oates "Rich Girl". Yes, I'd probably lose money most of my tip out doing this, but it was worth it for me.
Took a couple nights for my manager to catch on, and he got a kick out of it. And it went on like this for a month or so until he got annoyed with it and told me to knock it off. Which I mostly did, but I'd still do it a couple times a night.
The best part for me was some sorority girl who asked her group of friends when my song came on, "what's with this song playing all the time?"
Bouncers make tips?
Bartenders will generally split off a certain percentage of their tips with bar backs and bouncers. Just as waiters will split off some of their take with the kitchen.
As former kitchen staff allow me to laugh sarcasticly for an annoying amount of time at this comment.
If you aren't getting some of the wait staff's tips, you need to find a new kitchen.
Or you could find out that shoveling snow the next state over pays twice what any job you can get in your hometown does.
I fucking hate plowing.
Nah I'm talking shovels and upper body strength. Some people learn to love it some don't.
Well, I'm glad you've increased your earnings at least.
Quit fucking up the mashed potatoes, and you just might get a part of the tips, KEVIN!
Nah they were just bitching about me making the absolutely grand minimum wage of $8/hr when they had the technically legal waiter's wage of $2.something/hr even though their actual take home pay at the end of the night had extra zeros on what I was making. Motherfuckers.
