Plus, I’ll tip $1-2 for a fancy cocktail even if the service is crappy, because those take time to make, so I don’t really need to know what the service is like ahead of time unless it’s incredible. This sounds like it wasn’t though.
Yeah, I haven’t gone since. And I’m not going to not tip because it’s expensive. It’s just that when you’re paying $18 for a cocktail, you don’t exactly expect the bar to turn into a vending machine.
This was also after being told I was “in the wrong line” for the cocktail I wanted to order. And other people were walking in wearing basketball shorts. It was really quite a scene.
I’ve been a server at multiple types of establishment in multiple countries. The only time anyone ever fucked with someone’s food/drink, it was because the customer had jumped one of the servers in the restaurant the week before and beaten the shit out of them.
And they should be getting paid for that time no matter what. No tip needed unless they are putting on a special show or gave you suggestions you needed.
I once went to a fancy rooftop bar where I was asked to pay in full (with tip) up front for a cocktail. No idea how that place is still in business.
Honestly, I kinda prefer that in bars? Means you can just walk off and not worry about paying once you’re done.

In my experience, if you’re a regular tipping that amount you will usually end up getting stronger drinks after the first few visits.
At one bar we had to ask them to stop because it was basically like drinking a glass of liquor.
Yeah but what if the cocktail sucks
They still put the effort in. If it’s sloppy or poorly made and the bars not busy, I don’t get another one.
It was $18.
Then I probably wouldn’t go, but I don’t go and not tip because the menu is expensive.

The problem is do you know what those servers will do to your drink if they feel you did not tip enough!

Places that pull that bullshit get a one star enraged review from me and are never visited again
