Bartender is offering $6 virtual cocktail-making classes during the pandemic—and strangers are sending him money (via CNBCMakeIt)
in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The next day, the full-time bartender was out of a job.
During a staff meeting on Tuesday, March 17, the owners told Scensny and the rest of their employees that they expected to be closed for at least two months. About an hour after Scensny uploaded the post, someone shared it on a bartending Facebook page and it took off. Next, he checked his Venmo account. Sure enough, strangers were sending him money: "People were actually sending $6. Some were $10, $20, $50."
