 Tipping etiquette - Fullchat
We had a bar meal in a pub in Wensley a couple of weeks ago. And very nice it was too. Steak pie to die for. There were 3 very young females behind the bar and serving on.

One pint of cider was served flat but exchanged. Probably the first out after cleaning.

I had about 1/2" of Timothy Taylors left in my glass. One girl picked up the empties on our table and with the quickest movement grabbed my glass and made off. I uttered something, she turned round and then kept walking.

They stuck another tables round of drinks on our bill. Good job we checked.It took 2 further attempts to get it right.

At this point a tip was still in the offing. Mistakes are human.

We went to the bar to pay and split the bill two ways (not me and Mrs FC but another couple :). The card was swiped and the receipt thrown on the bar top in front of me. Came across as a petulant teenager.

It was at that point the tip went out of the window.
