    Who does it?? Yes another tipping thread. My company is having a party next week at some nightclub here in the city. Having been a waiter and a bartender at events with an open bar I know that people usually don't tip (as it is included in the booking along with the fact that people are cheap bastards!!!). I always tip at an open bar. I figure I'm not paying for the drinks or a cover to get in plus the owner of the club in more than likely a thieving bastard that won't give a fair share to the staff anyways so I tip away. Anyone else??

    I will say that at my job's holiday party there was an open bar but it was in a hotel ball room and I got a soda (I had to work that night!) so I did not tip for the soda, but in that night club type of setting I would probably tip.

    I rarely drink, since I usually am the one driving, so it always kills me to see an open bar, and only have a beer/glass of wine or 2.

    start with 5$ then usually a dollar a drink then if they were good an extra 5.....which usually amounts to $20 tip all in all
    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    Dunk just called to say a free drink is a free drink for fook's sake.
    Tip my ass.
    I then asked him if he ever tipped the guy in the bathroom for handing him a towel to wipe his hands....
    I heard this in the background...

    absolutely - better drinks result! :) on that note - I try to order directly from the bartender anytime I'm at a club - tip them well and be rewarded!

    Is that or is that not Dunk's shtick, word for word almost. :)
    You know he bleeds his wallet dry tipping everyone from the Starbuck's person to the mailman. Not kidding me, that's for sure.

    Confession:
    I use to tip more often when I was younger.
    Now that I am older, I don't tip as often because I value my dollars more. I follow these rules:
    1) If dinning with a waitress/waiter - 20 percent (This is part of their salary)
    2) If delivery - 20 percent (Part of their salary)
    3) At a bar - 1 dollar per 2 drinks or 20 percent if you tab (part of their salary)
    4) Open bar - Your lucky if I give you a dollar per drink. Unless they serve it with a smile and have good customer service. Then I dont mind tipping more.
    (They are already paid well. If not, get a better job then)

    Otherwise, forget tipping anything else.
    1) No to barbers (I already paid you good money)
    2) No to tip jars when I pick up a pizza/food (I did all the work)
    3) No to tipping the mail man or garbage man (I have crappy service here, otherwise I would tip them if they actually talked to me or didnt do a half ass job)
    4) No to tipping movers. I already paid a good price to move. I never got tipped when I was a mover. Now I ever asked for a tip or expected one.
