A bartender named Hannah posted a video on TikTok to address the uproar about a previous post she shared to the social media platform.
In her initial post, Hannah posted a photo of herself and informed viewers that the bride and groom at a wedding where she bartended wouldn’t allow her to put out a tip jar.
In her follow-up video, Hannah responded to a comment from a viewer who said, “Gratuity was included in the contract. Don’t lie. Asking guests to tip is tacky.”

Hannah told viewers, “I just want to clear a couple things up because a lot of people in my comments are ripping me apart right now.”
She continued, “I’m a bartender at a venue that hosts weddings, anniversary parties, whatever the event may be. I bartend those events and I bus tables, as well. I get an hourly rate from the venue. The bride and groom are not hiring me to be a private bartender for their wedding. That’s why I usually have a tip jar.”

Hannah said, “I make the majority of my money through tips. A lot of people in the comments were saying that I should’ve worked out my contract better when I signed it. I didn’t sign a contract. I can’t negotiate.”
She added, “I’m sorry if the video caused any harm. I was not trying to cause harm, I was not trying to double-dip.”
Hannah then told viewers, “I just work for the venue and the bride and groom said I couldn’t have a tip jar, which was totally fine. I just thought it was funny because that’s how I usually make my tips. I’ve never had that happen before.”
