    I give a buck if it's a hot blonde that is nice. If you don't meet those 2, you get nothing.

    For me the takeout tip depends on a few things. I tip at a chinese place usually because they're small and putting it together for you. Never too high of course 10% tops. If it's at like Applebees where I don't know who put it together I usually don't maybe I throw a buck and change in. Now if I did it regularly I'd tip them because I'd want my service to always go smooth, but considering I rarely order takeout it's not a huge problem for me. Pizza places I usually throw a buck or 2 in the jar if I know the guys who work there.

    Generally the tips on takeout go to the cooks in the back.

    Do you mean for takeout, or for an actual dine-in meal?

    Takeout. Dine in tips vary. Bartenders should get almost nothing.

    Bartenders in most places get paid slightly more than a server, but still less than federal minimum wage.

    I think Server wage is still 2.15, and Bartender wage is 4.50

    Tipping the bartender somewhat decent is always good. If you come back, you probably will get extra the next time.

    That's what you get for going to ****ty bars.

    I tip good tenders well. A good bartender either knows how to make you a drink very well, or keeps your beer glasses clean so that when you get a beer from the tap you don't wind up with a ****ty pour. Nothing worse than a beer served in a non-beer clean glass.

    Id venture to guess I go to nicer bars than you. Twisting a bottle cap or pouring beer out of a keg isn't taxing or particualary difficult.

    OMG, give them money, they are using clean glasses!

    Ok maybe you don't go to ****ty bars, but you do order ****ty beers. I just presumed since you're drinking beer from a bottle the bars you are going to don't have a draft option.Maybe they do have good beer and you just have horrific taste. Should have considered that factor.

    Everyone who knows anything about beer knows how important a beer clean glass is. A brewer works hard to make a beer the right color, have the right head, with the right aroma, and a non-beer clean glass (difference between clean and beer clean if you haven't noticed by my wording) can ruin any of those 3 either by hazing the glass, or by killing the head. A good bar has beer clean glasses and a bartender who knows which beer should go in which glasses. If you're getting a barley wine iced gold in a shaker pint, then you will A. Be ripped in no time and B. you're dealing with someone who doesn't know their stuff. I'm willign to tip for someoen who does.

    What if they're precision-pouring three-quarter ounces of Hendrick's gin, lime juice, maraschino, and green chartreuse, then shaking the hell out of it with an egg-white to emulsify the drink?

    I go to bars that serve their own beer, brewed on site. Do you think they know what they are doing?

    I don't tip for takeout, and I don't like the fact that I should feel guilty for not tipping. Just because you have a spot on the ticket for a tip doesn't mean I'm going to give you one.

    Now, if I am sitting down and actually being served, that's a different story.
