Sure if the neighborhood Chilis does a good job, but you gotta be an idiot to work there

Hey man, Chili's was good money for me in college. I made all my money for rent and bills in one weekend. Maybe it wasn't Ruth's but I did pretty well.

Bartending was easy to skim from the restaurant. Beer and Margaritas were easy money makers. We had a register that would show the price, but you could cancel out before it went through. So the customer saw the price and it looked like you rang it up. Kept a paper with how much you've put in and pull it out later. I remember each bartender walking out with $150 a few times easy on a Friday or Saturday night. Plus we would get tip out from all the servers.

I always asked our managers how our liquor cost was going also just to get an idea.
