I got into a Bar in Vegas off the strip. Put 20 bucks on the bar and 20 in a VP machine. Bartender brings me a drink. takes the 20 ask if I want change. I say no. He says thanks and puts the 20 in his pocket.

I sit for a while I think about what happens. Shift change comes. I tell barteneder b who I havew become friendly with that bartender a has scamed me.

Also what would your next course of action be if you think you were scamed?

I don't get it, he asked if you wanted change and you said no.

I set it on the bar to cover the price of my beer. Hes not chargeing me for the beer. Nor did he tell me the beer is a comp.

So is the money to be interpertid as a tip?

If this is a bar in a casino usually your drink is comped if you are playing a machine, but if you are in a non-casino bar they do not always comp your beverages.

Wow dude, you tip really well.

As for being scammed I don't see why it matters to you what he did with the money.

he didnt "scam" u...he asked if u wanted change u said no...some people tip real well...and maybe he just assumed u were

I'm a bit confussed myself. He did not tell me the drink is comped. So what your saying is keep my money in my pocket til they ask for it? Im an idiot for putting money on the bar. Also I should knowe that the drink is comped?

guy walks in to a bar orders a heineken pays with a cnote says keep the change.... its only happened to me once but my gf has probably gotten it 5 times. horray for boobies! the bartender was definitely not trying to scam you here, and i doubt he would be offended if you explained your intentions and tossed him a tip. tip well,

You obviously were confused as to how drinks in VP bars work. Easy hing to do if you don't frequent them, and I'd venture that the bartender was as confused as you about what transpired.
