regular stores make a profit and they sell for way less than half the price in a bar, and someone has to stack those on shelves and shit too.

No. Bartenders don't get paid shit. The only reason to even be a bartendar is the tips (or if you're really in to hanging around drunk people while you're sober until 2 am).

I really have to disagree with not tipping the bartender well here... Do you guys not realize that they're the person who's controlling the strength of your drinks? Also that a lot of times they can pour the shit out of free drinks at will? If you spend a little extra on your bartendar, it will come back to you tenfold. Plus, when your tab is like $30, is an extra $3-$4 really going to break you? It's not going to make them rich either but they definitely appreciate the gesture... Especially when it's in contrast the people who leave the the $0.50 change from their drink.

I don't think it's worth a dollar for someone to open a beer for me either, but it's really not about that. Being cheap here is really just hurting yourself.

I have mixed emotions about tipping. On one hand, I worked for almost four years at a car wash, where about 66% of my income came from tips. While it was great walking away with $100 -- in cash -- after a long Sunday, I did occassionally feel like our [the employees] expectations for tips were sometimes a bit absurd. For instance, there were several regular customers who would tip in excess of 75%, and some who would tip over 100%. I loved getting $30 [tax free] for 25 minutes of work. With this information in mind, I always over-tip. At restaurants, I will never tip less than $5, even if the order is only $10. Typically, I'll tip around 33%, and only if a server is really really horrible will I tip 15%.

On the other hand, there are a lot of situations where I feel like I am giving someone money for absolutely no valid reason. The beer/server situation is a perfect example. If I order a $2 bottle, and tip $1, I just gave a 50% tip for what amounted to 45 seconds of work [15 seconds to walk to the bar, 15 seconds to grab the beer and open it, and 15 seconds to walk back]. I understand that being a bar-tender or server is NOT an easy job -- you have to deal with assholes, you're often running around non-stop, and you get very little respect. Despite this, I do sometimes have a hard time justifying the [relatively] large tips I frequently give at bars.

Dependent on the club, many a night, I'll pre-tip a $20 at the beginning of the night. This has reaped huge benefits in the long run.

Also depending on the club, sometimes its almost retarded NOT to get bottle service.*

*I have been known to drink copious amounts of liquor which often results in me doing stupid shit, but this is about cost.
