A Bar With An Honor System
A Bar With An Honor System
Jürgen Stumpf owns three wine bars in Berlin that operate on the honor system. For the price of 1€ (about $1.50), you rent yourself a glass and get to sample as many of the wines as you want. At the end of the night you throw some bills or coins into a big jar, the amount based on what you think is fair. picked by 2manyusernames 5 months ago

That would be very dangerous for him if my friends and I showed up. We scour city for the cheapest drink prices. If the drinks are really cheap I will tip 50-100% If the drinks are not cheap I usually scale my tips back to about 25-40%.

It is not cheap to drink out when you are an ex bartender.

On the whole though, that would probably be balanced out by the non-bartending patrons.

As I'm sure you noticed when you tended bar yourself, generosity increases with alcohol consumed for most people.

On that score, quite a cunning plan. I'm sure that when inebriated, most people would under rather than over pay.
