    Default How frequently should you tip the Bartender?

    When I was at one of my regular clubs a few weeks ago the bartender got mad at this one young guy because she said he had been to the bar 3times but didn't leave a tip. I think she was just mad at this guy because he had her to fix a drink earlier, then when she came back he said it was too much ice in the glass. So she ended up pouring out the liquor and making another drink. So is there a certain amount of times that you should tip the bartender? If you go to the bar 4 or 5times would tipping at least twice be suffcient? maybe it also depends on how big of a tip you leave? I usually sit at the bar instead of at the table because most of the times I go by myself and don't want any unwanted company from a dancer I might not like. I am not a big drinker but I will still leave a small tip, not too much because I want to save the money for the dancers.

    If you can't afford to tip a bartender a buck everytime (s)he pours you a drink (if you are bypassing the waitress), then maybe you should find a cheaper hobby.

    Dude the drinks are already overpricedfor the most part so why keep paying more for it? which is what you are essentially doing. I guess I am smarter with my money than you.

    No, that is not being smart. When professions and establishments rely on tips it is not "smart" to avoid doing it. Any more than it is "smart" to go to a restaurant, eat a meal and run out without paying. Waitstaff pays out on what they sell; you should tip every time, at least whatever the standard tip is in your area (usually somewhere between 15-20%). The bartender does not set the price of the drinks, and as for them being "overpriced" - that particular evaluation has no application in this context. Drinks in any bar are priced a great deal higher than they would be coming from, for example, a liquor store. In a strip club we like to discourage guys from stopping in for cheap beer. For that purpose, the drinks are perfectly reasonably priced.

    If you cant afford it you should go buy a 6 pack of Blue Ribbon beer and drink at home.But if you been there all night and start getting near to the end of your money but tipped all night just give the quarters back from the change you get back.I have done that and then next time you go in make up for running low the last time.

    As a former SC bartender I can tell you right now the bartenders only get paid like $2 an hour. We(they) depend on tips. Nevermind the fact that most sc's have the bar staff pay the club a precentage of their sales. I used to have to pay 4% of my sales back to the club. So yea I got pissed if I only got tipped a quarter or a dollar. Because your damn drink cost ME money to make. If your going to be a cheap asshole then dont count on getting decent service. I used to refuse to serve customers that didnt tip... as did the waitresses(they sent the customer to the bar if they wernt tipping then I delt with them).

    Eating at a restaurant and not paying is stealing. Not tipping is something different entirely. I am not saying I don't tip, but I just don't think everytime I go to the bar, I should have to leave a tip. I don't do it at a regular dance club so how is a stripclub different?

    Ugh its customers like you that I want to throw beer at. You my friend are a cheap asshole who doesnt deserve to socialise in society. How would you feel if you were working for $2 an hour depending on tips to help pay your rent?

    I am pretty sure there are alot of people who don't tip as regularly as they are supposed to. I spend my money the way I want to do so. I don't have any problems with the bartenders. As a matter of fact, I am well liked. Maybe at the clubs you visit you have to spend out alot of cash, I don't.

    I love how your ignoring my comments Think about it. First off your going to the SC and sitting at the bar to avoid the girls. That makes you a prick. Second off your not tipping even though your bartenders/waitresses are only making $2 an hour PLUS they are paying for 4% of your drink after you pay for it. Your being a cheap asshole. Take your penny pinching ways somewhere else. I promise you if you were ever in any of the bars I worked at you wouldnt be drinking.

    Oh look we have another stripper who is trying to flame on someone for stating there opinion. Only on this board do strippers get to talk trash, but if you are a customer you are in the wrong if you say bad things about someone you don't know.

    Jpac, I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate it if your boss only paid you for half the hours you actually worked. In the same sense, bartenders need to be paid for every time they work. A dollar is not the end of the world. Pay it, dance club, strip club, or bar.

    Hey dude, it's not just strippers that are gonna flame you for crap like that.

    Sounds to me like you're trying to find a way to justify doing something that you know is wrong.

    Jpac - let me refer you to some strip club wisdom:

    Rules of Clubbing by GenWar:
    "7. Tips are the oil of the strip club. Apply liberally, yet intelligently. (Everyone knows this right? Everyone follows it right? Wrong. Many many customers don’t get this and many more choose to not participate. It never ceases to amaze me how much you get in the way of concessions for a simple $10 tip.)"

    Seriously, this is just how the system works. If you go in and don't tip very much, things are not going to go very smoothly for you. Try overtipping sometimes - you might like the results.

    Wow, talk about selective listening. I guess the fact that some of the customers also were ragging on you didn't hit your radar? The Dukes of Hazard comment wasn't a flame??

    Nor have you addressed the point that the wait staff are not being paid a full wage by the club so the club and the staff expect you to make up the difference. I perfectly understand this is a concept that most customers don't realize, and if they did, they'd probably be pissed at the club for taking so much without paying squat. And I understand it's not the customer's fault that the real bad guy here is the club for creating these hidden charges that aren't obvious when you come in. But once you're informed of the operational details, how about modifying your behavior according to the advice you've received here? Or were you asking hoping only to receive confirmation of your already existing ideas?

    Trust me, if you're not stingy on the tips whenever the service is good, you will be rewarded. You'll be the one being attended to in a crowd when every other schmuck behaving like the former you wonders why the hell they can't get decent service.
