How much do you tip on a 5K bottle of sake? Was the waiter really doing more than a $5 bottle of sake lol
In a lot of high end restaurants they have gratuity including so it’s like 18% of the bill gets tipped no matter what. So if you sell big you make big even if they are stingy
Clearly 1000$ … That’s 20% right. They worked for it. The server has to walk over to one side of the room, and bring the bottle to the other side of the room.
This is my qualm with tips. It should NOT be a percentage! If you pour me a 1000 dollar whiskey, what difference then are you actions to someone else ordering a 10 dollar whiskey? You just poured a bottle except my pour cost me 200 more. It’s insane. Yet here we are.
Nope, i would leave 10 dollars, the same 10 dollars i would leave at a restaurant with a 100 dollars bottle
You aren’t rich so you think this way. Someone ordering a $5000 bottle of sake doesn’t mind giving a couple hundred bucks to a charismatic server that makes the experience better
The top 25% of waiters made $41,600 on average in 2023, so it’s still a low income job for almost all waiters.
That’s what they report yes…not what they made
@landonp4726 no waiter is making 100k cash secretly. Stop dreaming
No server reports all of their earnings. It’s just not done
Exactly, it’s at least double that or more with unclaimed tips. You have to be careful what you buy tho if you do that, or the IRS will bend you over real quick
I’m 32 but when I was 18 I was making 70k a year, clear. I used that towards buying my first business when I was 21
I’m pretty sure the top .01% of nearly any job make 6 figures
Yeah except it’s more like 70 percent of servers make 6 figures
@@Tpep33you couldn’t possibly be serious. Fake bait.
@@Tpep33lmaoooo that is so incorrect, there’s more than a 70% chance that you’ve typed that purely for shits and giggles
I’m a diesel mechanic and make 60$ hour and I hate my job so much
@@Tpep33most servers don’t even make 60k 😂 lots of them also make over that as well but it just depends
I used to work at Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom, if you work as a server there you die there. That’s a known thing about food and beverage in Disney World. A full-time server at Crystal Palace is only four shifts a week and you can either do the breakfast or dinner service. They easily can hit six figures just being a glorified bus boy because it’s a buffet.
The joke i always heard was that the nicest cars in the West Clock parking lot were CRT and Crystal Palace servers.
Also heard about part timers that moved away from Orlando that would fly in to work shifts because it was so lucrative. All that autogratuity.
I work in a gay bar and get a lot of tips
😂
Sometimes he even gets the whole shaft 🗿
I worked in one too, but they fired me for trying to serve cocktails in yoga poses

lol, those who know. Literally ^^
Josh is right but what isn’t explained tip share generally means that the servers are getting a relatively decent wage ranging from 10-16 depending on the place.
Bartender for 10 years. Averaged $125,000 a year. Year after Covid cleared $185,000. South Florida, NOT Miami.
So you could comfortably become a multimillionaire bartender. Insane
You reported tips?!?!
Depending where in south fl this is 100% accurate. When I was bar backing (in naples) I never made less than 25$ an hour threw tips, And made like 9$ an hour
Our bar tenders made like 15/16$ an hour and recieved about 2x our tips per day.
My wife is a bartender/server at a high end hotel and makes 120k. It’s a union job so the wage is 24 an hour which by itself isn’t horrible but it’s plus tips so clearly that’s what makes it worth it, although…the DISCOUNTS is where it’s at. 50% off all food and drinks (for her and 3 of her “guests” which is perfect cuz we have 2 kids..) at any of their locations and brands worldwide. I work for an airline so I get huge discounts on flights….out best deal so far (the discounts range in savings and you have to take whatever date is available so it takes meticulous planning and a bit of luck..) we flew to Japan, $90 per person ROUND TRIP FIRST CLASS, then stayed in a $1200 suite for $110 a night. Basically we had a 80k vacation for $1500. The discounts allow us to experience the life of luxury for at least a few weeks a year, then we go back to our blue collar real life of mixing drinks for the filthy rich and in my case, cleaning up puke from planes.
I bet she doesn’t just get the tip.
This is amazing! I love seeing how couples make it work with kids.
Your out flying people around while she’s getting her world rocked down below. Bummer
@@lovd888 before the discounts we just went to a local campgrounds for our summer vacations, which was great don’t get me wrong…but I have say, Osaka was a lot more interesting than Big Jim’s campground and RV park. All due respect to big Jim.
@@Hood.Housekeeping she be gettin the whole damn stem bro, best believe I’m keeping a happy home, most demanding part of the job! 👌👌👌
That’s why I think 20% at high end prices is way too much, but good for them !!

Most tables do not tip on shared bottles of alcohol.
In what world…? It’s on the bill and you tip the bill
Maybe in the shitty places you visit. Dennis and IHOP 😂. Whoa
Not tipping on alcohol was very common especially in very high end restaurants for a very very long time. If you weren’t aware thats probably why they said that.
I know a lot of people in service that make $70k-100k, it is a thing specifically bartenders in high end restaurants and hotels.
Especially in Vegas, tipping is everywhere. My mom was a cocktail waitress in a handful of casinos for over 25 years and could easily clear $500-$1000 a night just in tips depending on what section she was in. And then on top of that she got paid a decent hourly as well. She had a friend that saved a million dollars cash in 10 years. Tipping culture is honestly pretty annoying for most normal restaurants and bars but higher end establishments or basically anywhere in Vegas, it very much benefits the employee.
Your mom was a bop 😂😂
@@Enar5Doesn’t matter if your well off
I don’t believe in tipping, it’s insulting where I’m from. I don’t understand the concept
Honestly I would rather tip the chef than the server
As an executive chef who worked his way up from a dishwasher, thank you! but I assure you most chefs would feel awkward taking your money and just want to share our passion for food with you. Most of us know we are doomed financially anyway
Same it is baffling that the literal backbone, heart, and soul from a restaurant comes from the kitchen staff. Without the kitchen staff, the servers wouldn’t be able to serve anybody so it’s even more baffling that servers get the tips instead. Arguably the kitchen staff work way harder than the servers and those who worked in these kitchens know how fast paced and chaotic it can be
And when the kitchen screw up? Who is entertaining, suggesting spots, make you feel special and welcome, runs back and forth for you? Guys I am a chef, moved to service and expanding up the company chain now and I tell you: kitchen shouldn’t get more than 30% of tips. And I’d say the same if I was back in the kitchen!
@@mmvdleest1733bro shut up. Maybe you feel that way but your cooks don’t. We’re stoked about getting tips.
@@98shootyyeah I’ve done both. BOH works more works harder and there’s no comparison.
Thing is tipping is getting outta control & robotic servers are coming in order to make things affordable for both the client & owners.
Not affordable, reliable. Most young employees today, do not care one bit about how they provide good service, are not reliable on the schedule, lazy and entitled.
Then you get the ones that do not play the victim, who are friendly, on top of their tables, and they are the ones that you do not hear complaining.
But you are correct, tipping culture is out of control. Today, they feel entitled to it, rather than earning it.
I will never tip again to combat this
This is why I dont tip. They are doing fine.
😂😂👏👏
What’s truly crazy is, once you read Riches by Design you realize how blinded you were, but it’s never too late. That book has some serious knowledge

I worked in Dallas, I used to make around 85k a year while going to college. Just 5 shifts a week in a high end restaurant. It was very expensive. I wasn’t the one who made the most, some Servers who had been there longer and had certain clientele used to make over 185k a year. It’s crazy. It’s a very stressful job with so much pressure but you make enough to pay for college or even supporting a good way of living. I made less money nowadays with a degree but I don’t have server dreams anymore or crazy pain in my joints or feet.
