Is tipping $1 per drink still acceptable? /u/sauceboss627 No such thing as stupid questions

Coming from the opinion that tipping culture has gotten out of control, I’ve made a concerted effort to scale back on tipping in general. Meaning – not really tipping when dining at a restaurant that I order at a counter and they just bring me the food, not tipping at any drive thru, and scaling back tipping to 15% as the normal standard unless it’s exceptional service then 20%. I’m just so sick of POS systems automatically setting tipping options where minimum is 20, then going upwards to 30%. All that being said, when I’m at a bar and I order just drinks, why should tipping be a percentage of the cost when the acts/service is all the same regardless of what you’re pouring? *This excludes super fancy cocktails where a lot of steps by the bartender are involved, then I’ll tip 20%. But is tipping $1 per drink for a poured beer or well cocktail still acceptable???
