how about a waiter's friend?

opening hundreds of cans kills your fingers!

that's my experience from working at the footy where we served cans.

what courses do I need to work in a bar I think it would be a great part time job, My sisters friends some pretty hot blonde chic works in one at hurstville and she pulls heaps in tips each night!
What kind of wage do they work on?
Do get to keep the tips or do you have to split them or something?

Depending on where you want to get a job, generally just your RSA.. if they have pokies and keno, you'll need to get an RCG. Its ok for a part-time job.. But if you like going out on fri/sat nights, i wouldnt recommend it.

Alot of smaller places, like restaurants with bars will pay award (which is like $10 to $14 for an 18/19yo, depending on whether you're employed part time or casually) +tips. RSLs and Pubs tend to pay around the $18-$24 mark

Once again, it depends on where you work. Classier places will generally give you more tips. Other places just have that tip jar which means you get like $10 in 10c pieces. I work in a bar at a restaurant and i just have customers give me $5-$20 tips which means i just get an extra $20-$50 a shift, depending on how many we do, and how much the manager fucked up the customers
