teachercd Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I feel like attendance will be just over 60K. I hate the start time for this one as it really ruins the pregame fun but me and my group will still have a good time! Last season I was a bit shocked at how many bars are not open by 9am on a game day, why as a bar owner you would not do all you can to embrace that atmosphere makes zero sense to me. Basically you will have Bodega's, Sandy's and Barry's, those will be open for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment

Having worked in the industry for a long time, good luck finding a bartender that is gonna wake up at that time. Even before 10am is a stretch. Quote Link to comment

The motivation to make crazy tips seems like it would help BUT they will make that during the day/night too. 1 Quote Link to comment

If you worked Friday night and got out at 2 or 3am though it would be hard regardless to make it the next day at 6am possibly still drunk from the night before. Quote Link to comment

I don't think I would do it, if I tended bar. But it would depend on the tips. I mean, if I could go in from 6am-11am, work 5 hours and walk out with 300+, that would be pretty sweet while in college. But, I am not a super hot girl so I would probably make way less. 2 Quote Link to comment
