Bartender tipping question
Worked late last night, the Warden was in school, so I dropped in on a local pub to have a bite and a pint or two and watch big fat David Wells throw BP to the Devil Dogs.
I ordered a Sam Octoberfest draft. The barmaid - not quite a dish but stacked - tells me that Miller Lite drafts are $1. I thank her but I'm sticking with Sam. Four pints and some tasty $8.99 chicklin flings later, it's time to settle up. I notice that she's been charging me $1 per beer, recording the sale as Miller Lite even though I'm drinking Sam. Total bill came to $14.92. How much to tip? |

Re: Bartender tipping question
assuming a sam is $3.50 (typical), i would probably tip $10 in this situation.
i am a pretty heavy tipper to begin with though. i like getting the bell. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |

Re: Bartender tipping question
What info is missing?
She was a 6.5 on my scale. I did not ask her to charge me $1 per beer. My wife (the Warden) and I visit this place every so often, but I'm not a "regular." I did chat with the manager when I got there, but nothing special. Pears make you [censored]. Am I getting warmer here? What did I miss? |

Re: Bartender tipping question
I'd give her $25 as well. If you're not planning on visiting this place with any frequency then a couple bucks less is ok.

This was Boston Billards. Sam October is $4.50 there.
edit: I think. She didn't tell me how much the Sam costs. |

Probably still $10 though, no waitress will ever complain about a $10 tip on a $15 tab. Nice tables there, do you play? Oh and those waitresses' outfits, short black skirts with FMBs...joy. So...what did you tip? |
