Amazing displays of ignoranceSandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

These days, 20% is the norm.However, if you're buying and paying for drinks individually and not running a tab, typically $1 per drink is normal. If it's a more upscale bar and you order a mixed drink, $2 per drink is "expected".

See?It may well have been 20 -- which is actually a large ammount when you spend the night running up a tab...

?So if you go to a bar you have to have a pocket full of low denomination bills to tip with? Also, does that mean bartenders get a few hundred dollars in tips every day? They must be loaded.

I find automatic tipping weird.It was explained to me in the US that you tip for every drink regardless of service. I questioned this, and was informed that it's been the norm for so long there that a lot of bar/waiting staff wages are basically insufficient to live a normal life, because the massive majority of their income is expected to be tips.
weird.
