Earning money moonlighting as a mixologist

[ebonyspiral]

Apart from the few simoleons my sim gains per drink she serves to customers, she earns nothing else from moonlighting at a bar.
The pop-ups state that a certain amount has been earned during a given shift, but it is never actually credited to the household. Is this a known feature rather than a bug?

I never noticed it until now, but as this sim is completely broke and trying to earn a living by moonlighting, it's become apparent that she may need to go back on the game.

Not a bug. The dialog is actually just recounting the measly pittance you happen to have received already, as you noticed.

No, this skill is not going to make you a very nice living. Then again, it doesn't in real life, either. How many rich bartenders do you know, and of those, how many got rich through bartending?
