nd why is it that a waitress at a bar deserves a tip per drink for delivering a round of drinks that she didn't even make
For the same reason that waitstaff in a restaurant deserve tips for delivering your food. Tips are not merely for the preparation of your order. If that were true, you'd have to go back to the kitchen and dish up your food yourself and carry it back to your table, and then bus your table and wash your dishes when you were done!
I drink Cokes--whether they're a buck, or two bucks, I usually tip a dollar every other one.
If I were drinking the $4 drinks that some bars serve, I'd be tipping a buck every drink. I do that because it's easier on me to do it that way--and saves my quarters for the pool table, dartboard, or bartop trivia game.
I don't know, I think handing them a cc at the beginning is the equivalent to giving them access to a wad of cash. I can't tell you how many of my friends have gone to bar, handed over their credit card, and realized they were charged for drinks they never had. The problem is it's nearly impossible to get the charges for drinks removed. The managers nearly always side with the bartender. This is nothing new---it went on years ago when I was a server.
BINGO !

As long as there are gullible customers, it will never end.
Going out is over rated unless your trying to get laid, but even then you have craigslist for that, there really is no reason to go to a bar anymore, they are usually obnoxiously loud and depending on the city smokey and burn your eyes. Unless your going to play pool but its tough to find a good place that actually focuses on pool and not just loudness and obnoxisness where the pool table is an after thought.
Well...some of us enjoy going out. And getting laid is not the reason since, in our group, everyone is either married or at least living in sin.
We like to see live bands...so its off to the occasional, noisy club for that.
Otherwise, if we're just going out for a few drinks (or even dinner before or after) we usually don't find ourselves in loud, obnoxious bars. There are plenty of upscale places that are not not noisy, over-crowded meat markets.

I've never had an issue with that ever...and I go outfairly frequently (and have been doing so for the better part of 20 years).
Maybe some people just need to find some classier places.

Some people like to complain, even if it is about a non-issue. And some people are just cheap.

Keep on giving those big tips.
It will balance out for the bartender if I go there and leave no tip.
She stated if anyone left the bar w/o tipping she would chase them down the street to insult them into tipping.
Bragged all the time of doing that.!
If she worked for me and pulled anything remotely akin to that she wouldn't be walking back in the door! Yikes!
