A bottle girl in Toronto recently revealed how much money she makes while working in a downtown club, and it has people in their feels.
Victoria Cunningham took to TikTok and was an open book about her hourly salary as well as how much she gets tipped on the job.
Her video was viewed over one million times as of Wednesday afternoon. In it, she shares that she recently took home $2,122 in just three days, $1,860 were in tips alone.
Cunningham makes $16 an hour and said she worked for just 16.5 hours that week.
“I believe in wage transparency and this is totally to be open and educate you guys,” she said in the video posted on Monday.
Her story brought on a mix of reactions as some users were impressed (even proud), while others were in utter disbelief.
“Amazing! You make in three days what I make in a month as a teacher,” one user wrote.
“Oh thank god it’s before taxes, I was going to flip out because I’m a lawyer in Toronto and I was ready to quit,” another said.
Even nurses made their way into the comment section to share their woes.
“Me as a nurse working way more hours, questioning my life’s decisions,” one person said.
“Lucky, I work as a nurse and I’ll never get paid what we deserve,” echoed another.
On average, teachers make an average of $36 an hour in the province, according to Ziprecruiter.
Additionally, teachers in Ontario make anywhere between $52,000 to $103,000 a year, according to Glassdoor.
When looking at how much bottle service employees make, it’s anywhere from 45,000 and $97,000.
Cunningham was quick to remind others of how important their jobs are regardless of how much money they earn.
She also revealed that she herself applied to law school and is in the middle of finishing her masters degree. She added that being a bottle girl is just a part-time job to hold her down until she graduates.
She also made it clear that what she makes in one week won’t always be the same case the following week.
“I’m pretty open when it comes to money and believe withholding information about it only holds others back,” she added.
In fact, in a separate video posted Tuesday, Cunningham went even further and broke down how she gets taxed.
