[Jennifer]

I’m a bartendar at a wine bar and my live-in boyfriend is a bartendar at a niteclub. Some pros? A bar is a lively social atmosphere. I’m always busy with something to do and I like the physicality of the work. I get to try new/unusual wines on every shift I work. The MONEY> TIPS are usually good enough that I make approx. $25/hour, and my boyfriend, $40/hour on a good night. Good/fun regular customers make the job more of a party than a job. You can always meet new people and probably find new people to date, all while getting paid. The CONS? As heavy drinkers we both have instant access to alcohol – not a good thing. It’s also not as glamorous as some regulars might think. We wash dishes, sweep the floor, empty the trash,do heavy lifting, and stand on our feet 8 hours at a time, which means our feet/lower backs hurt at the end of the night. Actual drunks are a problem because they are soooo boring to listen to – and as a bartendar you have to listen – and if you cut their drinks off/bounce them out, your likely to get into a fight/yelled at. I haven’t had to do this, but my boyfriend has. Also, the non-tippers and low tippers piss me off because I’m providing atmosphere, serving them, and cleaning up after their mess, all the while listen to their boring chat. So note: Tip you bartendars and waiters, or stay home and make your own party.
