i totally agree with that! i bartended myself, and the base pay is SHIT. if you dont tip, the person makes $5 an hour (some places pay less), so show some appreciation for the bartender who is up through the nite not to party, but to serve you. if you can afford the cover plus three drinks, im sure you have an extra five bucks for a tip. or hey, just get a job as a waiter/waitress/bartender, or anything else who works for tips, and you will develop a whole new outlook on tipping
