I agree Dan with the whole theft thing, but as long as you are honestly buying
the customer their drinks, there should be no problems. When I was behind the
wood, I regularly ran myself a tab that I would pay out at the end of the
night. And for my own safety, I kept copies of every tab I ran in such a
manner. Turned out to be a blessing in disguise that I did that, but that is a
whole 'nother story. But when customers found out I was actually buying them
drinks instead of giving the house away, it really increased my tips. Sounds
redundant, I know, but if it can make the difference between $150 and $200,
then who cares, right?
