Taco Money

Excerpt from our Employee Handbook: The first two hours you’re working for taco money. On Taco Tuesdays the tip jar reaches the taco money threshold fast because four tacos only sets you back eight bucks. Slow nights can take longer, and even longer still if your fellow bartender is also eyeing their portion of the tip jar for taco money. On busy nights you’ll make taco money hand-over-fist but you won’t have time to spend it until after the rush has subsided and sometimes that’s not until after the truck has left. On those nights, spend your taco money after close at Flor de Jalisco, and maybe treat yourself again the next morning at La Raza. The temptation to brown bag a crowler of a hazy IPA that’s chock full of El Dorado, Rakau and Wakatu in the parking lot is strong, but try to wait until you get home.
