I'd like to make it clear that if I were there
I would tip, because I'm not a wanker.

But it shouldn't be expected.

Also, I like arguing this subject. It drives americans crazy. Almost as much as when you tell them that being liberal should be regarded as a good thing. and then giving them the dictionary definition of it.

I really don't care, if it's a shitty service then I don't give a good tip but I do tip too much when it's good.
It's really bad at bars, most people give a dollar per drink ordered, which is obscene and the servers expect as much if not more than that.

that is obscene
and the expectation and attitude to it is what annoys

in discussions I've had in the past people haven't been able to grasp why the system is shit.

I know what you mean
When I was in Vegas for a week I worked out I spent over $70 on tips - that's shit... I could have gone to the aquarium for that and seen a big shark! :(

I tend to run a tab, as it's usually less to tip on the tab than it is per drink.
But if I'm buying individual drinks, I'll tip $1 a drink.
Saying that, in AZ over hte weekend, the boyfs daughter got utterly hammered to the point I had to ask the bartender to stop serving her shots (she can't hold her liquor at all), which he did. I ordered two more drinks for myself and gave him $5 but that's because he cut her off at my request.
