Tipping is one of those things you donât learn about in school, but itâs probably one of the most important things youâll do as a consumer. So it seems necessary to explain things like who not to tip, who you absolutely should tip but probably forget to, and even some ways people have gotten creative with the sometimes-awkward ritual of tipping. Tipping isnât just something customary, it shows your appreciation for someone working incredibly hard to make your experience the best it can be. Itâs important not to short change these individuals, because often times theyâre working for tips alone (or less than minimum wage, plus tips).
And while there are a few people in society that decide to just tip 20% wherever they go, it is generally acceptable to tip a certain amount, derived from the amount of service youâre being offered. All jobs are not created equal, and sometimes itâs fitting to tip someone more for going above-and-beyond.
Bartender â $1 Per Drink (At Least) Or 20-25% Of The Total Bill
Bartending is no easy gig, it involves being on your feet all night, coming home smelling like stale booze, making below minimum wage, and dealing with every kind of annoying drunk youâve ever met. So tipping your bartender is an absolute must, as tips also make up a majority of their income.
When figuring out how much to reward the person who literally makes happy hour happen, itâs important to consider how much work is actually involved in each drink. For a simple pint of beer, or glass of wine, $1 per pour is considered standard. For cocktails that require more steps, like a gin and tonic, $2 is considered polite. If your bartender is a mixologist who is actually grinding fresh mint into your mojito, $2-$3 or 20% of the total price of the drink is considered fair. And be sure to add extra if you receive particularly excellent service, that is why they do that, after all.
