Bartender Clarifies Tipping Controversy: Why Hourly Wages Aren't Always Enough at Events
A recent social media post by bartender hannyb has sparked a discussion about tipping practices at private events. In a follow-up video, hannyb clarified her compensation structure, stating that she receives an hourly wage from the venue where she works, which hosts events such as weddings and anniversary parties. She emphasized that this hourly rate does not include gratuity, and therefore, the majority of her income is derived from tips. The bartender explained that she does not sign contracts or negotiate her wage with the venue. Her employers typically allow her to have a tip jar, usually placed discreetly behind the bar. The recent incident that prompted her initial post, where a couple requested no tip jar at their wedding, was an unusual occurrence for her. She stated, "I don't double-dip, I don't get gratuity in my hourly rate." Her clarification aims to address misunderstandings and highlight the reliance on tips for many service professionals in similar roles.
