Things you should not do:
1. Spend $28 at a bar, and not leave a tip.
2. Leave the note “You could stand to loose [sic] a few pounds” on the receipt.
Your bartender might post the receipt on the internet. Her friends might track down a ton of personal information about you. Dan Savage might post something about you. Be nice, people. Just because you work at Microsoft and have a girlfriend with a Kate Spade purse doesn’t make you special.

Most likely a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT waiting for someone else to help the Bartender!
@Pupito Bartenders have JOBS and work for TIPS. That’s part of the SERVICE INDUSTRY. Sheesh even when people are employed CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS find ways to trash people that aren’t millionaires or billionaires.
@charro, I’m referring to the person that DID NOT leave a tip! Geez! The Bartender IS most likely a REPUBLICAN, he/she WORKS!
I don’t understand why bartenders are paid so little and have to depend on tips when every bar charges twice the amount you pay for a beer, if you buy it at a store, and 20 times the amount you pay for a bottle of liquer.
