Subject: Floating $20
From: Minnesota Dave
Posted: Tue Oct 17. 2006, 20:26 UTC
I just finished a very entertaining Bartending book written by Ty Wenzel. 

(Her life as a Bartender in the Big Apple). 

She writes about how she would always tip an extra $20 over and above her tips 
to the bartender and the bartender would "would return the favor" when he/she 
visited her bar. 

She calls it the "floating $20". How many of you "float $20" when you are at 
another bar? 

Do you tell the bartender you are in the trade as well? Sounds like Ty always 
announced it to get better drinks, service, etc.
