Tipping Guidelines - Rural Midwest
« Thread Started on Dec 24, 2004, 5:11am »

Here is what I expect for tips as a bartender in the Rural Midwest...small town, relatively upscale area, bar/restaurant. Follow these rules and I'll treat you soooo nice! 8-)

I don't think I'm expecting too much by wanting these amounts.

Happy hour:

1 drink: .50 to $1

By the hour: $2 for every hour you sit there.

(Happy hour regulars are usually pretty cheap, but since most are there 5 days a week it's forgiveable)

Busy nights:

Tip every time you come up to the bar.

$1.00 for 1-2 drinks, .50 for each additional drink

If you order something that is time consuming (Bloody Mary, frozen drinks, a round of mixed shots), I would expect a little more than the usual.

(I make AWESOME Bloodies.)

If you eat at the bar: The standard 15-20% is fine. However, if I run my ass off for you please make the tip commensurate.
