Default My dilemma

I'm going to my local cardroom tonight. It's a dump but they have a beer special on Friday night's - $1.50 Corona's (no free booze in Indiana). The problem is I never know how much to tip the waitress. Sometimes I just give them $2.00 (for a 50 cent tip), but then I feel cheap since the standard tip seems to be 1.00 per drink. On the other hand if I give 3.00 and tell them to keep it, that's a 1.50 tip (100 %) which seems too much. I could always give them $3.00 and ask for 50 cents back but that seems lame. Anyway, my new idea is to get a stack of pink $2.50 chips and just pay with those - leaving them the standard $1.00 tip and not having to mess around with change. I can also easily track the number of beers I've had this way. What do you think?
