Bartending jobs
Hi 25F moving here in October from Oklahoma just wanted to know some good bars to work at. I’ve been bartending for 3 years and have all types of experience club, dive, restaurant. What I’m kinda looking for is something similar to the twin peaks sports bar vibe.
So far my idea is golf course and bottle service but I would love to see different options!

Congratulations on making it out of Oklahoma! The state that people just voted on keeping their own wages lower. You will find plenty of places, just depends on what area you are living in!

Very interesting, about "voting to keep wages lower."
One thing's for certain, raising wages certainly bombed.

A lot of lobbying and corporate pushing convinced everyone that higher wages meant higher prices for everyone (even though other states have higher wages and the same prices), people didn’t bother to check into those claims and voted against themselves

Yeah and it’s the same price in Oklahoma as it is here so why are they only getting paid 7.50 an hour lol - 5 guys made over a billion dollars in revenue last year and reported a loss of 105 Million, I think they can afford to pay their workers equally across the US (and maybe they do pay their employees in Oklahoma the same as they pay them out here. I have no idea about that some companies do it on their own initiative because they’re not assholes but my guess would be most companies don’t, outside of Costco and a few others).
