Um, i dont know how the clubs in boston are, but the clubs in ny, tips are not
that great.. people dont tip that well in clubs for a few reasons..
-1- A beer is about $6.00 mixed drinks also start around six and i have spent
upto $12.00 for a long island ice tea in a club.
-2- Cover Charge for a club ranges from 5$ to about 35$ half way throuh the
night people are usally scrounging around for change.
-3- Who am i kidding, now a days in clubs only about 25% of the people are
drinking, 25% are totally sober, and the other 50% are on drugs.. the drug
users dont like tipping anything for a $5.00 bottle of Water..
Hey it might be different in Boston, but thats how it is in Long island,and NYC
