if you’re in their place for a few they’re looking to earn so the financial relationship is key
here you could find a fresh pube in the liquid served and be met with a shrug - the US equivalent is looking for max pay out

The cocktail prices in the New York tiki bar article Gus posted were obscene, some of them pushing $30.

if you go to an expensive place $25 isn't that unusual, and then coz you're tipping often 20% it can get up to $30 no problem. it's important to stay out of these places

Repulsive levels of decadence.
Perfectly acceptable pint of real ale in Spoons for £2.74, and none of that ridiculous "tipping" nonsense.

One of the last places I went to in Seattle before I moved, they had signs up asking people not to tip because they were actually paying their employees a decent wage, otherwise people like bartenders, servers, etc. get paid well below minimum wage.
OTOH, it seems like tipping culture here has become well out of hand in the last couple of years.
It seems like you're now suggested to leave everyone a tip for every reason.
Next, I'm expecting someone to suggest that I also tip a cashier for giving me my change back.

half of american resentment and the gender wars is the maintenance of the 'men pay on dates' norm in 2025

no i think its fine honestly. i have a spot i love with a champagne cocktail that goes for $28, and you know what? it’s delicious. I guess if i couldn’t afford it i would dislike it more. but I think it also provides a force to push you away from bars, if you’re meeting up with friends you know well you can save some money and have a better time by heading to someone’s home and breaking open a couple top-notch bottles in the $40-60 range. the question is just how much beauty you can find in this world.

if you’re going to a spot with cocktails that are above $25, in general you can assume that the bartenders are genuinely experts, and that means if you know how to talk to them, you can learn a lot about what’s happening in the world of spirits. i reccomend doing that, you learn a lot.

I like good scotch and champagne and stuff too. I just have a child and a mortgage and that sort of thing, so non-stop decadence isn't really an option.
