I blacked out on patron shots at the Vault bcs my friend of a friend was a DC stripper and my friend kept on pulling her shirt down. We were a party of like 10 and he gave us shots all night. I also was dressed as a Mexican with one of those ridiculous sombreros from Chevy's in downtown SJ. Pleasantly surprised I wasn't hate-stabbed.That was an interesting night.

reason i ask is cause i HATE CHANGE!

I hope someone spits in your food... Better yet, I hope someone gives you SARS in your food, and yes, really.

I sure hope you're not a regular anywhere, or frequent places enough so they remember your face.

before reading this thread, i didn't even know you were supposed to tip bartenders. maybe that's why none of them want to be my friends

IME, tipping the bartenders will almost always be worth it. Especially if it's a very busy night, or if the bartender seem to be stressed/in a bad mood. I've had a couple times before where a $10 or $20 tip means you'll be served first every time you come up to the bar. A couple times it becomes a free drink or two, along with the good service.

Same goes in places where they serve you the drinks, tipping well gets the attention of the waiter/server at the least. If you have ladies in your group or at the next table, then

I have a friend who decided to give a $100 tip once.....from what I've heard, he got his money's worth, and then some

This definitely reminds of Reservoir Dogs...

I tip $1 per mixed drink (captain and coke / vodka tonic)
Beers are weird, I tip based off their price... if its 4 bucks, i'll make it an even 5. if its 3.50, they get a 50 cent tip per beer and if they are good they will get an extra dollar added to that every 3 or 4 beers.
I dont really drink Martini's or anything that takes time to make, if i do, its at a specialty bar and those are like 2 dollars for every 3.

If im sitting at the bar, i just leave my tip there in front of me, if they **** up. im taking a dollar out of their pile. I'm totally quick to knock a dollar off a tip per **** up or something I didnt like. I also TELL people when they **** up, and they usually dont repeat. I also tip extra dollars when they do something extra. I also always tip the price of the drink when I get free ones... Its totally cheaper tipping full price for a free drink, and bar tenders definitely remember you.
