Average day serving you're walking away with about $130-$160. Very seasonal, and very obvious they choose favourites.

A typical day at tap for me was getting in 45 minutes to an hour before shift a day sitting down at the bar to grab some food before shift then working hard all shift with a great group of people. Often times after shift coworkers and I would either sit at the bar and have a few drinks together or go out together downtown.
