On Saturday I was at a wedding, and experienced the Tip Jar Dilemma first hand.
Every time I ordered a drink at the open bar, I would put a dollar in the tip jar, just as the bar tender was turning around. This happened for quite a few rounds, and I couldn’t let her think I was a bad tipper, so eventually I just handed her 5 dollars, and in my inebriated state of mind muttered, “This is for you, From me.”
This reminded me of the classic scene from Seinfeld when George gets banned from a Calzone shop because the cook thinks he is stealing from his tip jar.

Isn’t that just the truth. I usually tip a buck a drink when I walk up to the bar. I’ve started saying “Keep one” or if I’ve got the right change handing them the one crossed over the other bills. They never see me when I put it in their jar.
I make it a point to tip at the beginning of the night cause it sucks tipping after every drink when you’re buying alcohol at the rate I do.
