'Bottle Girl' Shares How Much She Makes In Tips In Just One Night—And BRB, Switching Careers

'Bottle Girl' Shares How Much She Makes In Tips In Just One Night—And BRB, Switching Careers

Let's be honest, sometimes it's really easy to assume another person leads an easier life than us.

When they appear to be making more money than us, or we think they're prettier than we are, we might even become jealous about the life that they lead.


And TikTok was having a really hard time keeping their jealous feelings at bay when Nina, @ninageruntho on TikTok, started posting about her life as a "Bottle Girl" at a party venue in Scottsdale, Arizona.

In her latest video, Nina shared her first experience working in the pool area of the club, which also appeared to be the VIP section of the bar, which typically requires a minimum expenditure and gratuity in order to enter the area.

You can watch the video here:

But what becomes clear from watching the video is viewers weren't necessarily envious of Nina's job, though it looked like a really fun time for everyone.

Rather, they were in awe of the size of the tips Nina was able to receive, including one in which her customers spent $9,291.55 throughout the night and then tipped her an additional $1,800. Another table spent $10,855.14 before tipping her an additional $3,000.

Though it was unclear whether she had to split her tips or not, Nina had made $4,800 from tips alone, at only two tables.

In most of the service industry, quality tips are difficult to come by, and the amount Nina made from two tables could easily take several months to duplicate in a restaurant chain.

Some joked they were absolutely working in the wrong industry.

Others seemed to genuinely wonder how someone got started as a Bottle Girl.

A few were more focused on the girl who clearly wasn't happy she wasn't the one to work the pool area.

Though making a living and building savings is hard, it's still refreshing to see someone who is able to be financially comfortable.

But while we can be happy for Nina, we can all admit we secretly wish it was happening for us, too... and maybe consider changing our career path.

Trump Family Dragged After Promise Of 'Trump Mobile' Phones 'Made In The USA' Goes Up In Flames

An NBC News investigation reports that Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump did not meet their pledge to launch U.S.-made smartphones through Trump Mobile. The rollout of both the devices and the wireless service missed its August target, and the company has since quietly removed the promise that the phones would be “made in the USA” from its website.

The Trump Mobile T1 phone was unveiled on the anniversary of Trump’s original presidential campaign launch, marking the Trump brand’s debut in the mobile device and wireless service market. At the time, the company said the phone would be available in August.

Times Pet Owners 'Severely Underestimated' Their Pets' Intelligence

I've lived with cats—because no one owns a feline—most of my life. Some have been very clever creatures while others were real dingbats.

Scott Bessent Blasted Over His Bonkers Suggestion For How To Bring Your Own Inflation Rate Down

Continuing to follow the example of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared on Meet the Press Sunday to blame Democratic President Joe Biden for the financial downturn caused by Trump's tariff fiasco, then lied repeatedly about the state of the economy.

Meet the Press host Kristen Welker played a clip of MAGA Republican Vice President JD Vance telling a conservative audience at a Breitbart News event that Americans owe the Trump administration "a little bit of patience"—apparently while they figure out what tariffs are and how they work since they're rolling back more of them to lower consumer prices despite claiming Trump's tariffs don't affect consumer prices.

Lindsay Lohan Is Now Sporting A New Accent—And Fans Aren't Sure What To Make Of It

In a twist freakier than a sequel to Freaky Friday, Lindsay Lohan has debuted yet another new accent—this time at the Fashion Trust Arabia Awards in Doha, Qatar.

Draped in a maroon, jewel-trimmed gown by The New Arrivals Ilkyaz Ozel and accompanied by her husband, Bader Shammas, and their 2-year-old son, Luai, the actress looked serene, elegant, and completely unbothered by the collective whiplash she was about to inflict on the internet.
