Bernice Burgos claims she was making top dollar back in her bartending days.
The entrepreneur and The Impact: New York star appeared on a recent episode of the Joe Budden Podcast titled “Cold and Flustered,” where she explained that even on her slower nights, she made about $30,000. At her peak, including special occasions like birthdays, she says her earnings went as high as $70,000.
“I only bartended for three years. I only said three years I was gonna be in here, start my clothing line, and I was out—buy my house and do what I gotta do, and that's what I did,” Burgos said on the podcast.
“I make sure I give you the bottles for $250. The bottles cost $350. So I'm gonna hustle," she said of her strategy. "You don't gotta tip me. You don't gotta give me the tip right there. You tip me later down the line, like throwing money. So I was smart, you know? I just built a relationship with the people in there.”
“I don't do too much. I used to be covered with a whole body suit on,” the reality TV star added.
“I ain't gonna hold you. Respectfully, Bernice made the worst drinks,” said Joe Budden before the room erupted in laughter. “N****s was just at that bar because, look at Bernice.”
