Bartender shares payslip online to show why you should always tip in the United States

If you are from the United States you will no doubt have been given lectures about how much money you should be tipping bar and restaurant staff.

That might sound like a lot to us Brits, but when you see an example of just how much it means to those employees who rely on tips, you'll regret not tipping more.

A video uploaded to TikTok by @f.aa.ded shows her going through a recent payslip from her bartending job.

She explains that she gets paid $2.13 an hour and worked close to 71 hours a week, which would have equalled £150.81 for that week.

However, because she has to pay social care, Medicare and federal income tax through this payslip, she actually only earned $9.28 for 70 hours of work.

This is why you should always tip when you are in the United States, folks.

The video has since been watched more than 6 million times since it was shared on Twitter and people are aghast after learning the truth about how little service staff earn.
