That's a lot of money for tips. He must be earning more money from tips than his actual salary. And if you add up his salary with his tips, he is a very rich man indeed.

I didn't get any tips while working as a Beerlao girl, that's not how we operate. When I was a teenager, I needed some money so I decided to give the job a go, but the small pay wasn't worth it.

You can make good money from tip. But my friends only work part time 3 day a week. If he get $600 a week in tips that's about $2,400 a month plus hourly wage. In America that's not much, but enough to pay bills.

I'm sure that's enough for other things besides bills.

I heard that in America, it is essential to give tips when eating at a restaurant, and that you wouldn't want to go back there again if you didn't give any tips. Is this true?

Not for more than two months.


Did they pay you just to pour liquor?

Do you have to socialise with the winos too?

Ever met someone you liked while under that employment?

Tip in America is 20%. You give $20 if your bills is $100. Some people give less some give more.

If you know how to manage your money you'll do ok in the U.S. The problem is people make more, but spend more. If you make $2,500 a month and rent apartment for $800 a month and drive used car then no problem.

Yes, that's what they paid me to do.

No, I am not required to socialise with anyone. If customers were willing to talk to me, I was happy to talk with them though.

No, but I had plenty of people who liked me.

It's the same with people in Laos. The money goes out faster than it comes in.

No I wasn't interested in anyone. I'm there to work, not to find someone to hook up with.

Perfect stated.  Money management is the key to less stress living situation in the US.  Do not spend more than you make. What about people in Vientaine, what rough estimated percentage of the population use the bank to manage thier money?

Is that type of job good paying? Better than $200? The free beer alone should be worth it, right?

I only earned about $70 US in a month as a Beerlao girl.

They don't give free beers. I wasn't allowed to drink beer or any form of alcohol while working. It's part of their rules, not that I mind, because I don't like to drink anyway.

Did your parents object to that type of employment? Huh

They didn't object to it, but the late night work was a bit of a concern. It didn't really matter much because I didn't work with the company for very long.

WOW! Your parents sound VERY 'cool'. Wink

Are you still at home? Do you still stay with your parents?
