beachbum6264 Posted September 18, 2009 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2009 When you buy an "adult beverage" or a DOD card it has a gratuity included... who gets that? The bartender who makes the drink? What if you are on deck, do the waiter and bartender split it? Or is it all put into a big bucket and they all get a share? Just wondering.... (we usually have a few $1's around for the guys on deck, they work so hard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ Karaoke Girl Posted September 18, 2009 #3 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I tip the waiter in cash and assume the bartender is getting most of the autotip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I care... about the guys that are waiting on me hand and foot on the hot deck, with a smile on their faces... making sure they get their share of the grats for each drink I buy. Or should I carry more cash on deck? Any more questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocF Posted September 18, 2009 #5 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I was told on the Elation that all bar waiters keep their tips and the bartenders share their tips........But really who cares? I was just told the same thing on the Pride. One old-timer bartender (he had two lines go broke while he was working for them) said a bar waiter can make a bunch of money if he/she/it hustles.

And we had them hustling big time:D Seriously though this is what we have been told so I have no reason not to believe it.....this is the way we do it here too....restaurant bartenders pool and waiters keep......

(we usually have a few $1's around for the guys on deck, they work so hard) That 15% is pooled and all bartenders and servers share. If you wish to personally tip a favorite bartender, feel free to do so at the time you order....or at the end of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or should I carry more cash on deck? Any more questions? Do you ask that of all the bar waiters at hotels, reasaurants, resorts, and casinos?
