Social media users are vowing to quit their jobs and become bottle girls after learning how much they can make during a single night’s work.
If you’re one of the 84% who aren’t completely satisfied with your job, then it might be time to look inward and consider whether you want a new career. Now it seems like a bottle girl might be just what you’re looking for.
How much bottle girls make during a normal shift
If you’re over the age of 21 and familiar with nightlife environments, then you have undoubtedly come across a bottle girl or two in your time.
The job itself is how it’s described and entails ferrying expensive bottles between the bar and the customers. Depending on the venue, this can include serving thousand-dollar bottles to some massive VIPs.
Content creator and bottle girl Tay Blair (@tayblairr) recently pulled the nightlife curtain back in a video that has since garnered over 700k likes and 5.7 million views. In the clip, she stitched another video that showed a man fawning over a bottle girl’s salary.
“I made $530 last Thursday,” she told her followers. “An hour, $530 an hour last Thursday.”
Tay’s shocking admission was not the first time a bottle girl has made everyone jealous with their chunky tip jars, with a previous viral story reporting end-of-shift bonuses of $1,800 and $3,000.
Victoria Cunningham, a former bottle girl from Canada, also told Toronto Life that her pay fluctuated depending on a range of factors including the day of the week and breed of clientele.
“As is the case for most bottle girls, tips make up the majority of my income. Hourly, bottle girls make minimum wage, which is $16.55,” she said. “On average, in the years I’ve been doing this, I’ve made between $300 and $500 in tips per night, but I’ve also brought home well over $1,000. On my highest-paying night to date, I made $2,500 in tips—but that was pure luck. I booked a very wealthy client who also happened to be a very generous tipper.”
More bottle girls than bottles
If social media users have their way then most of America will be ghosting their jobs next week in the hopes of becoming bottle girls for the world’s elite.
On TikTok, one person wrote: “Coming from a bottle Girl .. you have great nights and bad ones.. it can definitely be mentally draining but I loved the money Friday -Sunday and the events.”
“I definitely miss doing bottle service the money was so good but keep in mind it depends on your location too,” another person wrote.
A third said: “Service jobs are great when you’re young and good-looking. Just make sure to save & invest your money. I made a killing bartending in my 20’s but then you get too old and tired to continue.”
