The great thing about being a bartender versus being a server is that being a bartender you reserve the right to have a little bit of an attitude. If you are a server, someone comes up to the table and complains that their steak is overcooked. When you are a bartender you can say "look, if you are not happy I won't serve you. Have a nice night. Who's next." You reserve that right. We even sit behind the bar at my nightclub. We've got 1000 to 1500 people in that nightclub all night long, people coming up to the bar. We guage who tips and who doesn't. If a guy comes up to the bar and orders three corona's and doesn't leave a tip, I go to my co-bartender and say "See that guy right there, green shirt and blue jeans? Don't serve him, he doesn't tip. As soon as he comes up, I won't even look at him. I'll just wait until I get around to it. If you are not a tipper, just be gentle enough and courteous to people that are working their butt off for you. What goes around, comes around.
