If I didn't get tips, I wasn't getting paid.

You're a bartender and you can't make good tips, then you're just not a good bartender. You got $6,000, so an 87% tip. This is explained to me from Vox. I'm John Gwon Hill. My name is Freddy and we'll be you several for today. Awesome. You need a more favorite or look at the. Yeah. Do you have any recommendations? What are your favorite?

My favorite in the menu, this is a Cicitori.

And what better way to do that than to go to a place where they tip, a.k.a. a restaurant.

I really want to know how to tell when someone is being paid serving minimum wage, because when they flip that little POS tablet towards you, asking for the tip,
