So what do ya think.  |
I just tell them $50 and hour with a 4 hr minimum, I might cut them a 50 percent break, if I run over seeing I am set up anyway. I find that most 4hr parties are 6 hrs, the last one I did. I cut them the fifty percent for the last hour, and they gave me a $50 tip. Bars are different, in my area you'll do 5hrs for $150 or someone else will. I am trying not to do bars, but they do pay the bills when you have nothing else to do.
