This is the person who will be all nice when they order their cocktail, make small talk as you are giving them their change, pretend that they are fumbling around trying to figure out what to leave you, and then turn around and walk away.
If you are one of these people, you will probably have learned that this only works once. Once you have left the bar, the bartender has probably alerted all of the other staff as to what you’re up to. From this point on you will be served last, regardless of when you got in line. If you are too cheap to leave a tip, then maybe you should have stayed home. Bartenders work hard for their money, but they don’t work hard for no money.

If you want to be treated like a rock star when you go to the club, make sure you tip the bartender BIG when you order your first cocktail. Some people wait until the end of the night to tip, but by then they’ve probably been waiting in line all night. This will ensure that the bartender will notice you, and you will most likely get front of the line access all night. So what qualifies as a BIG tip? The average tip is about $1 per drink. A good tip is usually $2 per drink. Any thing above $2 per drink will get you noticed. Some people will lay down a twenty at the beginning of the night and they pretty much get their own personal bartender for the evening.
