Bartender:Just as everybody else.You see,we are paid the same monthly wage as everybody else in the hotel.

Guest:I see.The reason I was wondering whether you could make a living without taking tips is that in my country bartenders are paid a much lower basic hourly pay than people in non-tipping positions.They expect the tips from the customer to make up the difference.If they don't get enough tips they won't be able to make a living.

Bartender:And do they usually get enough tips?

Guest:Yes,they do most of the time.They generally make pretty good money.

Bartender:That's good.(seeing another guest approaching) Excuse me.
