If you’re at a fundraiser or grand opening or another special event where the bar is either free or subsidized, still tip! A dollar a drink is good, even if you’re having club soda. Club soda is my standard drink. Even though you’re not paying for your own drink, the bartenders are still working for you and rely on those tips. Plus it will make you look like an amazingly cool person to them.
Thank you.
Mentioning the unmentionable since 2004
I never even thought about a tip at an event. Does that mean the host isn't responsible to tip the servers? Or that they get both kinds of tips? They work hard enough to deserve both, that's for sure.
