> Take a look at it from another perspective. If a typical bottle beer in a bar is 2 dollars. With tax it goes to 2.20. Normally in this situation you would tip the bartender 1 dollar. Now instead of the bartender getting 1 dollar they would get 80 cents.

But you can also look at that two ways:

1. Oh well they are a bartender, if they want to make more money, they can get a more dependable source of income

2. Just tip them like a quarter more.

In my mind, it doesn’t really matter too much. If I want to go out and have some drinks, I will. Even if the 10 percent ends up adding 5 bucks to my bill by the end of the night, I don’t really care. 5 bucks isn’t going to break the bank.
