First, one must consider the reasoning behind the customer's decision.

Is that person a regular for that bartender?  There are certain bars I go to 
ONLY on specific nights because I have friends working.  I've walked out of 
bars because the bartender I'm familiar with isn't there on her regular night.

Does the person already have a tab with the other bartender, and is he/she 
aware that tabs are shared?  I've run into this before as well.

Honestly, I don't care - tips are split for us, so her money is my money, in a 
sense.  If they want to wait longer to get a drink because the other bartender 
is busy, that's their right - I'll be busy taking care of other customers who 
aren't so particular about who does their pouring.
