Live a day in the life of an average Glitch Citizen, without any of the glamour of cinematic bartending.  Keep the machinery of capitalism running smoothly by cutting lemons, juicing lemons, washing dishes, and dealing with belligerent drunks. Being a wage slave has never been this fun.

Just realized the title doesn't wrap, so you can't actually read 90% of it on the forum. God damnit.

Yes such a question can be asked not only to bartenders, but to many segments of the population, how they are able to survive on the minimum wage they are paid. I can navigate to this web-site , so you can read about the minimum wage and what various thinkers and experts think about it. There are very good essays with factual data, I have learned a lot and look at this issue more broadly and holistically. I recommend reading it, then many questions will disappear.
