For many, the glimpses shared online portray the role as fun, easy, and even lucrative. However, the reality goes beyond the lighthearted snippets that surface on social media. As one cart girl describes, it's her first summer in this role, and the journey to becoming a cart girl wasn't as straightforward as people made it seem. The influence of social media on the job market became evident as multiple golf courses witnessed a surge in applications, largely due to the buzz generated by the platforms. Despite the misconception of the job's simplicity, it demands more than just a bubbly and fun demeanor. From stocking the cart with various beverages to navigating the course and engaging with patrons, the job involves finesse and strategy. The art of selling isn't just about offering drinks but knowing the right approach to engage customers, a lesson learned through trial and error.

However, beyond the charm of the job lies a darker reality, instances of unwarranted advances and uncomfortable encounters with patrons. These experiences led one cart girl to share her "Ridiculous But True Stories of a Golf Cart Girl" series on TikTok, shedding light on the challenges faced on the job. Amidst the ups and downs, the financial prospects are a significant draw. With a base rate of $16 an hour plus tips, the earnings often exceed expectations. While viral videos might showcase exceptional tips, the reality varies based on the location and clientele.
