At 20%,that bartender is taking home $100-300 in tips and probably a $40-60 shift pay. On the weekends, or during Eagles games, etc, bartenders could make $400-600,easy. I knew Catholic School teachers who would make more bartending down Wildwood for 4-5 months than they would at their day job Yeah, the trick to bartending (if you want to make a lot of money) is high volume beers and mixed drinks. I had lots of high 3 figure nights opening bottle caps for college kids and tourists. If they’re tipping a dollar a beer to make sure they get served, it adds up pretty quick. Granted, this was back when everyone still used cash, so things may be different now.

No In Mexico at an all inclusive I made a point to tip the bartender in the center bar for EVERY drink. Most people only did here and there. After 6, when it was the only bar open in the resort and it was mobbed I never had to wait even if it was 3 deep. Cool story brah.
March 24, 20223 yr I feel bad for that kid. He will sadly likely commit suicide. He may be messed up in the head, and the mom is facilitating it.

I very rarely go to bars, or clubs where I get drinks from the bar. Last time I did, gave the bartender a $100 for like $50 in drinks and told her to keep it. Never waited again. Plus, she was cute.
March 24, 20223 yr Disney Opens New Immersive ‘Star Wars’-Themed Gay Conversion Camp BAY LAKE, FL—Boasting of an exciting new experience for die-hard fans who want to "join the rebellion” against their homosexual desires, Disney announced Wednesday the grand opening of an immersive Star Wars–themed gay conversion camp. "At our new Jedi Cure Center, gays and lesbians of all ages can visit a galaxy far, far away, where they will be taught by their favorite Star Wars characters that their sexual orientation is a path to the dark side of the force,” Disney CEO Bob Chapek said of the new $3,000-per-day camp at which clients will be greeted by an animatronic Yoda that tells them being "queer leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering.” "Guests will visit the Jedi Temple, where members of the High Council will condemn their deviant behavior and order them to face trials to achieve the rank of heterosexual. Later, in the Emperor’s throne room, they will view photos of attractive members of the same sex before Palpatine administers 450-volt electric shocks to punish them for their arousal. For extreme cases, we even have Boba Fett and Jabba the Hutt standing by to stop our guests from being gay by freezing them in carbonite.” Chapek added that at the end of their stay, fans would be allowed to choose a blue or pink lightsaber in accordance with the gender assigned to them at birth.

March 25, 20223 yr Quote EDITORIAL: Dangerous rhetoric is not entitled to a platform Speech that threatens the lives of those on Grounds is unjustifiable Photo by Sophie Roehse | The Cavalier Daily By Editorial Board March 17, 2022 Here we are again. The University is no stranger to contention surrounding the issue of free speech. Last year, a student was harassed after posting a sign on her Lawn room door critiquing the University. This sparked a debate over free speech, which was reignited this fall when an event entitled "In Defense of Mr. Jefferson” received backlash for its attempts to glorify a known enslaver who exploited Black labor to construct the University. Just last month, an event hosted by the Federalist Society on abortion drew criticism for being one-sided and platforming a transphobic speaker. Most recently, a University student made national headlines for lamenting the state of free speech at the University. More often than not, this speech was defended by claiming a need for intellectual diversity. In looking at each of these instances, we as an Editorial Board found ourselves questioning what should be protected under the premise of "diversity of thought” and more importantly, what values we choose to accept on Grounds. For us, the answer is simple. Hateful rhetoric is violent — and this is impermissible. A student organization recently announced its plans to host former vice president Mike Pence this April to speak in Old Cabell Hall. For Pence, gay couples signify a "societal collapse,” Black lives do not matter, transgender individuals and immigrants do not deserve protection and the pandemic should not be taken seriously. Nevertheless, the University has accepted Pence’s visit as an "opportunity to hear from, and engage with, leaders and experts from a wide variety of fields and perspectives.” So-called "perspectives” should not be welcomed when they spread rhetoric that directly threatens the presence and lives of our community members. The LGBTQ+ individuals Pence has attacked, the Black lives he refuses to value and the successful stories of immigration he and the former president hope to prevent — these very people are our peers, our neighbors and our community members. We refuse to condone platforming Pence. The University’s silence is deafening. Do not mistake this for neutrality, however. To be silent in the face of those like Pence is a choice — in this case, a choice to fail to protect the lives of those on Grounds who Pence blatantly threatens through his rhetoric and policies. To hide behind a sentiment that celebrates engaging with "leaders and experts from a wide variety of fields and perspectives” is to actively undermine the values of diversity, honor, integrity, trust and respect that the University purports to celebrate. Silence in the face of a homophobic, racist and transphobic politician only makes room for such "perspectives” at our University. While Pence’s stop at the University may be part of a lecture series, it is undeniable that his presence means something fundamentally different here than on other college campuses. Pence plans to "take a stand for America’s founding.” Given recent history, this should sound warning bells. Four years ago, hundreds of white supremacists flocked to Charlottesville to express their racist and violent beliefs. While they descended upon the Downtown Mall in a violent and deadly rally, we must remember — their first stop that weekend was here. We cannot forget this fact — the first place white supremacists felt comfortable expressing themselves was through a torch-lit march on our Grounds. Let us be clear — we must seriously consider the environment we wish to tolerate. Let us not forget that for four years, Pence served alongside the man who called those same white supremacists "very fine people.” Pence’s presence on Grounds signifies a tolerance of rhetoric that has already harmed our community — in fact, the very building that Pence will speak in was constructed to hide Black citizens so as not to disrupt the landscape of Grounds. Though Pence’s language may not be as overt as the white supremacy expressed during the events of Aug. 11 and 12, we must all be concerned about the message his rhetoric could imply we accept. Simply put, there is a blatant dichotomy between the values that Pence and the University hold. Once so-called politics turn into transphobia, homophobia and racism, they are no longer mere political beliefs — but rather bigotry that threatens the well-being and safety of students on Grounds. The Cavalier Daily’s Editorial Board does not condone platforming an individual that not only denies the existence of our diverse community, but participates in the violent rhetoric that perpetuates harm against these individuals. To our administration — we implore you to do better. Protect your students. To our fellow students and community members, particularly those who have been adversely affected by Pence — we stand with you.

March 25, 20223 yr Look, I'm usually on the side of "let the opposing side speak" and think the snowflakery at universities these days is out of hand. At the same time, the students have every right to protest someone whose views they find deplorable, and Pence is one of the most deplorable figures in our modern history. Yes, I recognize that he ultimately stood up for the Constitution on January 6th, when his master tried to install himself as a dictator, but in reality, he just did the bare minimum that should be expected of any elected official. For four years, he played the role of Trump's laptop while that scumbag fascist repeatedly trashed the Constitution, made a mockery of the rule of law, and $hit on half the country with every Tweet he pulled out of his fat ass. And let's not forget that Jan. 6 was merely the culmination of an extended campaign of corruption and sedition attempting to wreck our democratic institutions from within. Really, the only thing that I find truly off-putting about that UVA letter is that they don't even mention the attempt to subvert the election. It should be at the top of the list! Every last one of the people who were complicit in administration's despicable attempt to destroy our country should never again have any say or influence in our body politic. They should be pariahs, and they've earned a special place in history and hell for what they did. F*** Mike Pence.

March 25, 20223 yr 21 minutes ago, DrPhilly said: All forms of protest are not reasonable. Protest the Pence message not his appearance. Reasonability is a subjective concept that, in this instance, is determined by one's judgment of the nature of a threat and the degree of forcefulness required to combat it. This is forceful, but it is not violent, and is thus a valid form of protest. Whether it is reasonable is a personal matter, but I would argue that it is in this situation. All forms of protest are not equally aggressive or disruptive, and which form is appropriate should be judged according to the extremity of the threat. When the threat posed is relatively high, then the means of effecting change must be relatively forceful to counter it. There is a real threat to the future of this nation if we whitewash and sweep under the rug what these traitors and unscrupulous opportunists attempted to do to our country. They should not be countenanced.
March 25, 20223 yr 10 minutes ago, DrPhilly said: All forms of protest are not reasonable. Protest the Pence message not his appearance. Reasonable is not a standard. It really doesn't make a difference which they protest, or why. What matters is; Are they legally entitled to have any speaker they want? Who can legally object? Who has the power to decide one way or the other? So a group protests? Unless they start chaining themselves across doors, or storming the University, so what?

Even in war. They are dynamic but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a bar to be judged for reasonable action. …and they are not solely based on legal policy
