When friends give me free food or drinks, I usually tip the full cost of what I was given. So if you gave me an $8 drink, I would tip you $8.
This still benefits me in that I don’t have to pay that $8 plus another tip, but I’m wondering if there’s an expectation or standard that would save me some $
Sometimes this one place gives me $20 of food before closing when I only intended to spend $5 so the upsell kinda hurts
Don’t? It’s a gift. Why tip? If they expect you to then that’s hypocrisy on their part.
Sounds more like a roundabout way for the server or bartender to steal from the company.
It’s balanced out by the wage thefts from employers though. Sub minimum wage compensation is unacceptable
I agree, but maybe leave the industry?
