I always (in this country) tip service staff. With the exception that I often
don't tip a bartender any more than I would tip a McDonald's drone unless I
order a mixed drink more complex than, say, scotch and soda. Bartenders (around
here, anyway) are fairly well paid. Especially if they work a union bar. Wait
staff are dependent (in this country - not universally) on tip income to pad
out the pittance paid by their companies.

I will often tip a cook if I have a complex order/requirement and it is done to
my satisfaction.

Standard service gets a standard (15%) tip. Extraordinary service or a low-cut
blouse gets bigger tips.  Bv)=

ENJOY!!!
