For the record, a friend of mine got a job at Shooters as a bartender, and she's only a freshman. No experience. Training took about a week or so. Shooters has a high tender rollover from what I understand. Same with Z.
Haven't checked out any Fairmont bars, I didn't even think of that. That's something I could look into, even though I'm not crazy about the half hour drive alone at 3 AM.. but it's worth checking out. I know pretty much every bar on High Street wants to hire girls, and I'm friends with the owner of Lizard and think he would hire me.. I'm just scared! I know Lizard trains its bartenders for two weeks before they start making tips and everything. I wouldn't want to try Shooters or Z though.. I've been there and seen firsthand the freshmen who don't believe in tipping.
33girl, I have considered the possibility of a "less popular" bar and might try that out. We have a couple smaller bars around Morgantown that aren't wild, college places. I don't remember who said it, but the Violent Sanford Coyote Ugly comparison really hit home!
