I have two job offers, one as a waiter and one as a bartender. Which one would you take? I’m thinking bartender for the tips.

You'll get tips as both, and either one could be the one getting more depending on the vibe at your workplace. Some spots are restaurants that serve drinks, and others are bars that serve food. you know what I mean?

i much prefer working the bar, it's way more fun and nowhere near as exhausting as being a waiter, but the people do get a little much at times

I would take the job as a bartender. The tips are a big incentive, and I think it would be more fun to work behind the bar than serving food.

If I were in your position, I would take the job as a bartender. Tips are a big part of income for servers and bartenders, so it would make sense to take the job that offers the best chance for earning tips.

I would take the job as a bartender. The tips would be a lot better than the tips as a waiter.

I'd go bartender if you're good with the hours. better tips and the job is usually more fun. However, if 4am nights don't appeal to you, working as a waiter might be better.

Bartender it’s hard to get into! You can serve anywhere

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
