      <![CDATA[I think it's actually harder for bartenders to serve food - usually cramped quarters, having to set places when people order versus having them pre-set, reaching over speed racks, etc. It's got all of the same challenges of table service plus invariably food comes out at the same time you get an order for a 6-top and they're all different drinks involving separating an egg and muddling fruit.

      <![CDATA[At bars I never tip less than a dollar a drink, and if I have food I never tip less than 20% of the tab, usually rounded up to the nearest dollar. <br>
<br>
The only difference is that if I sit down to a meal and have my own tab, I won't tip less than $5.00 to a server, even if I only get a $7.00 lunch special.

      <![CDATA[I tip based on service.<br>
<br>
I have eaten at the bar, had great attentive service and a little conversation and tipped very well. I have also eaten at the bar and felt like an outcast who was getting in the way of the bartender flirting with a waitress or doing other things.

      <![CDATA[Ah yes, the one time the semi-retarded suddenly become  math whizzes...anytime the "perceived uppity servant entitlement" algorithm is required. I'm kind of rusty, but I think it's based on the gross total of what you assume a bartender DOES get paid divided by the net figure of what you think they SHOULD get paid...then that figure is applied to a sliding scale of percentages derived from negative past service experiences you received because you're generally an asshole offset by just how lucky these people should feel to serve you.
