different culture (uk/us over here irrc the staff don't rely on them where as over there they do)
yes & no depends where it is & how the service has been-i wont 'guilt tip' if they've just been utter ***** or rude
if i do isn't 10% of the cost the norm?

never tip bar staff unless i'm ordering cocktails, usually tip waiting staff but usually less than 10% unless it's they've put up with some serious **** from me and put up with it well.
don't really see why i should tip bar staff for 'good service' when serving drinks is possibly the easiest customer service job there is.

it is pretty arbitrary as to which customer service professions expect tips. when i worked in a music shop i'd spend far longer, on average, with a customer than bar staff would. i'd need to know a hell of a lot more in terms of product knowledge, i'd need to know my way round a shop really quickly, i'd need to know release dates of loads of different albums / games / books / dvds, i'd need to know which other releases the customer might be interested in, i'd need to know about which different formats things were available in and why.
basically a far harder and more in depth job than any bar job short of cocktail mixing, but the idea of giving a tip would never enter a customer's mind, and nor would i have expected one.
