Everybody I know whose a waiter/waitress at even a place like Cheesecake Factory in San Francisco or a bartender/bottle service girl at an even semi populated club/bar make a killing..
the bottle service girls at my club make 20% tip on each bottle sold and they DONT split it. ONLY when they are short staffed they will split it (like once every few months).. we got tables that are 2-4 bottle minimums and bottles are $200+ each.. They making $80-200 per table on average... bout 20-30 tables in a club depending on the club and about 3-4 bottle service girls a night.., even a small club has 8-10 tables (and usually only 1 bottle service girl who gets 100% of the tips).
shyt one of the bottle service girls I know was working at a lil lounge, a good night is 75-90 people, average night around 30-40 people and like 2-5 tables sold per fri/sat night and she was pulling in $3-4k a month working 2 nights a week
this dont even include when someone comes in and stunts and starts buying $500+ champagne etc..
if we gonna help anyone out with wages/tips we needa help sales people in places like gyms/car dealerships. They are based on this bull shyt called a "draw".
basically a draw is a set amount of money, but you have no set amount of hours.. If your draw is $2000 a month, then you guaranteed that right?

but you only make more than $2000 if your commission exceeds that..

I had months where I would sell 14-15 cars and make $2300.. you thinking its $2000+2300.. NOPE, its $2300 total.. cause you only made $300 commission past your draw.. But you worked 260 hours in that month to sell those cars because selling cars is a long process + you gotta get a customer in the first place.. Draws need to be banned
