How do you tip in the club? The bartenders? Always? The people handing you paper napkins near the restrooms? How much?

$1 per drink at the bar is standard so if I order one drink I tip $1, if I order two drinks I tip $2. I hardly ever take paper towls in the bathroom but If the bathroom attendent is cool ill tip him $5 sometime durring the night and jack all his chewing gum.

Bartenders: usually about $3 for beer, $4-$5 for a mixed drink.
Bathroom people: about $2-$3

of course, I usually tip a dollar or two more when I'm drunk :P

-edit-

if the bar is INSANELY packed, I might tip a straight $10 or $20.
usually guarantees you to be served first

Why don't you just crawl under the bar and give the bartender a blow job? For real, unless your making 6 figures those tips are not necessary.


Oh yeah - When I first read this thread, I thought I said "Tripping at the club"

dont come to my bar!!


no seriously, bartenders make like $2/hr and tips is how we make a living. just like in a restaurant the standard is NOT a dollar, its at least 15%. i cant complain though... where i work, gratuity is included, so even when people try to be cheap and not tip at all, they really are tipping me 17%

$1-$2/drink if theyre cool but if theyre an asshole in anyway i give em nothing. if theres one thing i cant stand its giving a guy $1 to open a twist top who's got an attitude to boot

its funny how in europe the bartenders are usually chill and you dont tip them anything at all. here they make $200+ a night and theyre gonna be pissed off???

its not that im cheap but when ur in the service industry you have to be courteous, i was a waiter at college for 4 years so if anything im a good tipper at restaurants for good service. But dont be obnoxious when im ordering an $8 bud light...

I'm a big tipper wherever I go. Restaurants, bars, etc. I even tip the guy pumping my gas if it's cold or rainy. But, at bars and clubs, I usually just round up to the nearest 5. If the order is 7, I give 10. If it's 11, I'll give 15. Etc.

If you only make $2/hr you're severely underpaid. The median and means salaries of bartenders in 2004 were $7.42 and $8.29, respectively.

Ah, so the gum is free. I thought they were selling the stuff. Good thing I started this thread.

I liked reading this, as it means that I can punish assholes without necessarily being a cheap European (I believe you should adapt to the customs of the places you stay).

Oh yeah, I myself stick to the $1 per drink rule, and $1 to the bathroom guys - unless they're being pricks. Outside the club I'm pretty generous, generally tipping 25% and more in cabs, restaurants and at the hair dressers. But these people also tend to be much more nice to me than nightclub staff. Actually, only bouncers and DJs have yet to piss me off in a club, and these are the only ones that you're not supposed to tip. Strange.
