My liveliehood rests on gratuity (working two jobs as hotel bellman), so i tip well -
It's not uncommon for me to get free drinks when i go out at the end of a night.
I've also discovered some good ways about tipping - whenever i go out with a group, i'll get the first pitcher (to set the standard of good tipping!). Last week a pitcher came to $16, and although it was expensive i asked for a $1 back on 20. That extra wait in giving me the buck, lingered just a little longer so other ppl would have to tip at least that, to not look cheap.
We really need to standarize rules on tipping etiquette. The hotel industry is the worst, too much variation.
