I'm taking a new job at a local bar/theater kind of place and they're offering me 5$ an hour plus tips
I realize I can probably make quite a bit of money per hour without the hourly pay but something rubs me the wrong way with any business that doesn't pay more than 10$ an hour
I start tomorrow but I'm considering asking management if I can go up to at least minimum wage which is 7.25$ in my state, Texas
Tickets per person to see this show are over 150$ and there's hundreds of people a night I don't see why they can't properly pay their bar staff like they do other employees
They are pretty desperately hiring as well so I don't see why I wouldn't have some bargaining power as well
Do y'all have any tips for asking for a raise as well?
