They do this because they make well over minimum wage after tips. Nurses I know make more bartending on the side than they do as a full time ER nurse with a bachelors.

If they don’t make minimum wage after tips for that day, their employer is legally obligated to pay them minimum wage, and very rarely do they ever make as little as minimum wage after tips.
