Going out for drinks can be more enjoyable when you know how to treat the people behind the bar. While tipping is an important part of earning a living for many bartenders in the United States, money is not the only thing that shapes their experience with customers. Small gestures, from knowing what you want to ordering at the right time, can make a busy shift easier. You do not have to spend more to be a considerate customer. In many cases, a little patience and common courtesy can make a bigger difference than you might expect.
