Salary and benefits would be better at Coke vs. a restaurant host/waiter type job where you're HEAVILY reliant on TIPS, because salary is low. We're in a recession, so expect tipping to be moderate to downright low, right now. Bartenders CAN rack up some good money because of the constant flow of tips...and after a few drinks people get a bit more generous with tipping...LOL!! BUT, do you KNOW how to make cocktails?? It's not all about serving beer and whiskey on the rocks...The BEST bartenders have gone to a bartender school and learned the trade, so to speak.
