Default Re: Two tipping scenarios that have been bugging me

All,

"The hooch isn't comped, its stolen."

Just to clarify this one, there are two types of ways this happens.

1: Three bartenders come in. They have 3 drinks each. Their tab is $5. That's stealing.

2: Regular comes in. Has dinner at the bar and a glass of wine. He is comped either an extra glass of wine or an after dinner drink. That's encouraged by the manager/owner at many places and often is recorded in a comp book.

Point is simply that this can either be a customer appreciation marketing thing or just flat out stealing for friends.
