Tipping At The Bar

Now this is important! You can learn to cook at home all you want, but if you want to look at some fine asses and stand a chance of cuddling with a warm body other than your dog or cat, you will need to figure out the bar etiquette involved in tipping. Nothing beats going out to the bars here at WB. Nothing. Oh, you can go to Miami and be robbed. You can go to NYC and get jacked. You can go to Colorado...OK, Colorado es muy bien, papi.

The fact is that this is a very safe community where you can get shit-faced and not get into very much trouble. There is no law against public intoxication in NC. Did you get that? That means that as long as you are not blocking the road or causing a ruckus, you are good. There are very hot guys and girls walking around at all times of the day. A lot of them are tourists so you may never have to see them again after you leave at four in the morning with the smell of regret all over your crotch. This is an island where beautiful people congregate and THAT is why you need to tip well in bars.

Let's face it, it is impressive to tip well. It means you are living well, that you are like the Dos Eqis guy, "the most interesting man in the world." (What's up with that guy telling people to "stay thirsty" and drink more instead of "drinking responsibly?")

Anyway, the point is, throw money around and people will want to fuck you. Very simple. Now there are some bartenders that suck. It takes them too long to get to you. They have this sad, broken look on their faces like their next drink when they get off work is more important than the drink you want now. It would seem that they hate their job or they are just too comfortable in their station and comfy with their boss that they don't have to worry about anything. The best way to deal with them is to open a tab and tip 15 percent at the end of the night instead of paying as you go.

Then there are the cheery, hot-looking ones that are highly efficient and appear to love their job. These are the ones you pay as you go because as they see you continue to tip nice your drinks will get stronger and your service will get better every time. Don't forget to compliment their service and tell them that you think they are the best bartender, ever.
