I probably wouldn't have noticed the tipping if I hadn't noticed the guy being an *******. That said, I was at the bar long after they left and they didn't get more drinks after that. She never tipped, and he allegedly had a beer before from his conversation ("my second beer before you get one"), so who knows if he tipped well before that. I gotta doubt it though, since he was clearly a jerk.

If I'm standing there waiting my turn to order and the bartender takes another order and serves someone who walked up after me, I'm not tipping.
 
I was about to post a link to the tipping thread, but it got locked! WTF?

We got a thread for that!

In most European countries tipping isn't customary.

In the rest of the world where tipping isn't customary, servers and bartenders are actually paid a living wage. I live in a state (one of very few) where we are paid at least minimum wage, but in most states servers can be paid less than $5/hour. And even with my minimum wage, my tips are taxed, so my paychecks are less than $300 every two weeks.

Oh we're still on the tipping thing?

Today at NEBCO, there was a bus full of people there doing some kinda Octoberfest brewery/bar tour or whatever. Was ready to be fully bent out of shape because all these idiots were in my way, plus they don't charge for tasters and I only saw one of them with a growler to fill... but then I saw a bunch of them throw $ in the tip jar after grabbing samples in the few minutes I was there. I'm sure the staff there was a bit overwhelmed by this group first thing in the morning, but it was nice to see this group being appreciative.
