Why not? Are you worried you're gonna be too generous giving the bartender $1/drink?

I can never figure out why so many posters on this board constantly try to find ways to weasel out of tipping people, or tipping less than they should.

[2+2 wannabe]

you tip - and it's not really close

are you worried about the 10 bucks?

The bartender can make better use of the $7 than you can.

People here should also remember that often when the bar/restaurant includes a gratuity in a check, the bartender/waiter doesn't see any of that.

Sure we do. I had a party of 8 the other night (parties of 8 or above automatically have 15% gratuity added to their check), and it was a guaranteed $13.96 for me.

Then you work at a good restaurant. I know of a lot of places that don't.

Lots of interesting replies. Here is what I know. Comapny opens a tab for the everning and from all sources tips well. I was talking to my group about tipping and said I hope everyone tips tonight and they all looked at me like I was insane. I intend to tip a buck for drinks for a few reasons, but mostly for faster service. However it seems like OOT is divided on this issue so I won't fire anyone on my team for not tipping.

Sure, especially if the barmaids are hot and it'll get you better service.
