A bartender at Hooters informed me that the standard tip for a royal
is 18%---just like a restaurant. You tip more (25%) for good service
and less (15%) for poor service. Therefore, all of you guys claiming
to tip 1% or 3% or 5% are looked upon as cheap. Period.

What service is that? I assume you don't actually "buy-in" anymore at
Hooters, or anywhere else. It wasn't too long ago dollar players bought racks of
tokens and quarter players rolls of quarters. Then I can see cutting the
bartender in for a piece of my jackpot. Hell, bartenders don't even have to call
for hopper-fills anymore. Maybe a paper jam at best.

I do believe the last bartop in Laughlin that required buy-ins was the 8-coin
dollars in Sassy Sue's Saloon overlooking the river in the Pioneer. These
bartops, along with the Bally Gamemakers still kick out coins, but they have
bill validators to get things going now. Bartenders still give you red $100
racks and buckets, when they hear that magical sound. <BR><BR><BR>**************<BR>Wondering

If a bartender at Hooters said that, then it must be
gospel!

That's just crazy. The bartender gets a buck a drink, just like the
cocktail waitress, and he/she works less than the waitress so she
sometimes gets $2 a drink. If the bartender helps me by saving my
machine when I go to the bathroom I'll give them another couple of
dollars.
