re: Tipping a friend who is a bartender

So the friend stole liquor ( and apparently a good bit) from the owner of a restaurant and benefitted by getting a big tip.
How about if the name of the restaurant was Motorboats Italian Restaurant and he was your bartender? And if he does it for Fred and his bride who's to say the couple sitting at the other end of the bar aren't his friends too and he's giving them the same deal? Well unless Motorboat is a baller, he's losing his arse on liquor and soon jiminoballs11 is looking for his juice and you don't have it to pay. Motorboat ends up sleeping with the fishes while the bartender moves down the street and sets up shop at LaCarson Crazy Chicken with the same gig. Capeesh?
But apparently stealing substantial amounts is ok. I'm not saying a good pour or the fourth drink is on the house isn't necessarily a bad thing even to an owner but wholesale discounts are jail worthy in my book. That bartender would be looking for a job if I own the joint.

I agree in principal with what you are saying, Martini. It's not his booze to give. But I don't think my friend is doing it because he is fishing for a giant tip. I think he is doing it because he is a friend and wants to take care of me. But let's not pretend we live in a world where this doesn't happen at every bar and restaurant in America. For every friend that gets a discount, there are three guys getting hosed on overpriced booze. I think it all comes out in the wash.
