It is like tipping at McDonald's because they hand you the food from the warmer...
first of all, the bartenders are making $2-3/hour (as has been discussed many times in this forum). second of all, i'm not paying for anything. third of all, you tip (i hope) at a restaurant for an omelette and toast that costs $5 and would cost you all of 54 cents to make.
