    A QUESTION FOR THE BARTENDERS (past or present):
    I always thought it does seem a little extreme to have to tip at least a dollar for bottles of beer. If the bartender is just reaching into the cooler, opening the bottle and sliding it toward you, is that really worth 20% the cost of the drink? I totally get tipping well for mixed drinks and in a busy place. But all things equal, in a dead bar, are you still obligated to tip at least a buck for every beer bottle? Do you expect this? Or would a dollar every other beer do?
