I concur with this Ali-b. Did a write up on swooping bartenders myself a few months back.
I disagree with the over-tipping though. 20-40% is just fine, if she's comped you and you're running hospitality industry game... or Gmanifesto game.
Great guide.
I usually tip in the 20-40% range, especially if she's flipping me free drinks. Drinking $50 and tipping $50 is an example of over tipping. Be careful not to let her get you too drunk.
One more thing. Don't go into the same bar daily. Make you look desperate.
Nice write up Gmac. I feel like I just plagiarized you. You mentioned the crazy hours they work. That's a good point I forgot to mention. This is the biggest downside. I've banged a barmaid and got 1 hr sleep before going to work. That shit sux.
