Y2K

If you’re old enough to remember Y2K, then you’ll know all about the panic people went through at the change of the Millenium. There was widespread hysteria about all technology shutting down as the years changed from 1999 to 2000. Thankfully, it was all just myths, as everything went fine.

However, this Reddit user was pretty smart to capitalize on this hysteria. Imagine making $1200 in one night solely from tips – that’d be an excellent way to start the new millennium! On average, according to BeamBox, most bartenders earn around $150 per night from tips, so this Reddit user got quite an improvement.
