--------------------
A bartender at my regular hangout does that every so often for the comp'd
rounds. He usually double knocks next to the cash I have put out. He does ,
however, tell me that it is on the house. I speculate that such a technique
stems from card playing. Knocking in some card games means that no further
action is needed by the knocker.
This is not a standard by any means. Most likely a way of getting someones
attention to let them know that the transaction is complete and no cash is
needed this time.
I've seen more bartenders knock when they get a tip than from offering a
comp'd drink.
