Im having beers at bar ordered wings and tipped $2 everything the bartender brings me.
Beer = $6
tip for beer $2
wings = $20ish
Tip for wings from bartender = $2
Total tips = $4
==============================
Same order from waitress/er = $26
Tip = $5.20
Now I know this is micro example but extrapolate this over several drinks with food and the difference swings the other way. The question remains tho, am I tipping correctly?
Minimum $1/drink from the get go… possibly $2 if it’s a cocktail. The quicker you catch the attention of the bartender the faster your drinks will flow.
IMO: it boils down to my happiness v. debating the whole tipping culture.
