Yep. It's absurd. And I have two or three close friends (including one standing up in my wedding) who are bartenders/servers and routinely complain if a customer leaves a tip below 20%. Have even heard them bashing customers for leaving 18%. However, most only expect $1 per drink if you're at the bar only and paying cash drink-by-drink. On a tab...that's a different story, strangely.
