Which is ridiculous, if you think about it.
You're actually paying them to make that drink. When you tip them, you're paying them again.
American also (sometimes) tip for carry out pizza, or coffee they buy at the counter (again, that they paid the place to make).
Don't worry, I tip at bars, but it does seem a bit ridiculous.
