I'm so tired of tipping! I rarely do it because I actually got good service, but just because I feel obligated. The other day I was at the bar and I asked the bartender for a drink that she told me they didn't have. So then I said I'd just have a beer. She opened the fridge, opened the bottle, put in on the counter, and said, "That'll be $3.50." I put down the $3.50 and she gave me a pissed off look and sarcastically said, "Thanks." So I felt guilty and gave her a tip. But why? She put in less effort to serve me than someone working behind the counter at McDondald's, but you don't tip them. And drink prices in bars are already so high.
