Tipping Strategies

-        Be generous on the first round. This way the bartender will know that you mean business and will strive to serve you better.

Even more you will most likely get a round on the house as a gesture of appreciation for the tips.

-        If you are going to pay with your credit card then you should leave a tip of about 20%. However keep in mind that bartenders prefer to be tipped in cash, so it is for the best if you carry some money with you. To be honest any bartender will prefer a 10 or 15% cash tip than a 20% credit card tip. 

-        If a bartender gives you a drink on the house, you should consider it as a gift. In order not to insult the bartender make sure to tip him generously. For example you can leave him a tip that is equal to the amount of the drink that he gave to you. 

-        The difference between volume bars and upscale bars is in the tipping. If you are in a volume bar then you should tip small amounts for each drink that you have offered. In upscale bars you will tip only once when you ask for the check. Generally the tip in such establishments is 20% from the amount of your consummation. 

-        If you are out with your friends and you notice that your friends aren’t leaving appropriate tips you should try to leave a tip instead of them. However if the situation does not allow it. Then you should tip more generously during a future occasion. 

-        Tipping is not the same in all country. For instance in England instead of tipping the bartender, buy him a drink. Still at 10% tip will do the job in almost any country in the world. 

You should not tip only the bartender who serves you cocktails, but you should tip any servicemen. For example if you hire cleaners in Ealing to clean your home, tip them when they are done. When it comes to cleaners Hounslow have some of the cleaners in the country.
