Bartender working at wedding sparks heated tipping debate over bride and groom's controversial request
A bartender has sparked a heated tipping debate after revealing she was banned from putting out a tip jar while working a wedding. Hannah Borsenik shared her experience on TikTok, explaining that the bride and groom told her the jar couldn't be put out at their formal event. 'Bartending a wedding and they told me I'm not allowed to have a tip jar,' the text overlay read. Her caption added: 'This labor isn't free, people.' The clip quickly racked up hoards of views and lead to a fierce argument in the comment section over whether tip jars belong at weddings at all. Many sided with the couple, calling the request unprofessional and unnecessary. 'That's pretty standard. That's why we charge $2k+ because it's in the price. Tip jars at formal events are tacky, and most people aren't carrying cash anyway,' one person wrote. 'Gratuity was included in the contract. Don't lie. Asking guests to tip is tacky,' another said. 'I wouldn't want my guests to feel obligated to spend any money at my wedding either… that's tacky,' someone agreed, while another argued: 'Tip jar on a prepaid contract is double-dipping.' One commenter added bluntly: 'Good. The wedding guests aren't your customers. If you wanted more money, you should have charged more money.' Another insisted: 'Absolutely not. The bride and groom pay the contracted price and gratuity. 'Asking their guests to tip you as well is tacky and embarrassing. The couple wants guests to have a good time and not have to worry about tipping.' Others, however, rallied behind the bartender. 'Last wedding I did, the bride made me tip jars herself,' one supporter shared. 'As someone who helped run an upscale wedding venue… You should absolutely have your jar out,' another argued. 'What the hell? Every wedding I've went to, I tip the bartenders in their jars! I'm so sorry this happened,' a viewer wrote. 'OK, every single wedding I've been to has been open bar and we always have tipped…' another said, while one shocked commenter added: 'I have never IN MY LIFEEEE attended a wedding and not tipped the bartender. Be f**king for real.' One fellow bartender even offered advice: 'The people who will tip will still tip. Tacky, but you could leave some of their cash on the bar for a bit as bait.' Hannah posted a follow-up video three days later in response to some of the people who had slammed her. She revealed that she works as a bartender and busser for the venue where the wedding was at, and she is paid an hourly rate. The bride and groom did not hire her privately for the event. She added that her bosses tell her to put her tip jar 'behind her' so people can see, but it doesn't look like she's 'begging for tips.' 'They [the bride and groom] pay the venue. They don't include gratuity in their payment to the venue,' Hannah revealed. 'I don't get gratuity in my hourly wage. I make the majority of my money through tips.'

Rude couple bans bartender from putting out ‘tacky' tip jar at wedding: ‘I would be horrified if you asked my guests for tips'
It's pretty standard to leave a cash tip for bartenders at weddings — especially if it's an open bar. However, a young bartender named Hannah Borsenik revealed in a TikTok video — captioned 'This labor isn't, free people' — that she supposedly was 'not allowed' by a couple to put out a tip jar at their wedding that she was working. This video said so much — yet so little at the same time, but enough to spark a fierce debate on tipping at weddings in the comment section. 'I wouldn't want my guests to feel obligated to spend any money at my wedding either… that's tacky,' one commenter fired. Another comment brought up a good point: 'The couple should be tipping you not the guests.' 'Gratuity was included in the contract. Don't lie. Asking guests to tip is tacky,' judged someone else. Borsenik felt compelled to post a follow-up video in response to the thousands of opinionated comments she received on her original video. 'I get an hourly wage from the venue. The bride and groom are not hiring me to be a private bartender at their wedding, so that's why I usually have a tip jar… I don't get gratuity in my hourly wage,' she explained. '…I'm not signing a contract. I just work for the venue and the bride and groom just said I couldn't have a tip jar.' Of course, commenters had something to say about Borsenik's explanation, too. 'The person paying for the event should tip you at the end of the night. I would be horrified if you asked my guests for tips,' quipped one person. Another person defended the young bartender: 'I'm sorry even if you got paid via the bride and groom, I do not care. Make that money. If people want to tip they will and if people don't want to, they won't.' Some Gen Z couples are avoiding this scenario altogether by throwing dry weddings and cash bars, defending the move as far from tacky and calling guests who complain 'entitled.' Rather than free-flowing booze, these couples prioritize transparency and budget-conscious celebrations, sparking heated arguments online about what it really means to be a gracious host. In a culture where wedding norms are evolving, debates over who should tip — or if tip jars even belong — are only getting louder. But one thing's clear: when it comes to weddings, money and manners remain a delicate dance. Solve the daily Crossword
