The worst is I know some guys from the UK who, when they got here, just didn't tip. They'd go up to the bar, get a beer, pay the exact amount in cash, and walk off. Of course this annoys the bartender girls as being a bartender living in Manhattan Beach means you rely on tips to pay the majority of your rent. Then my UK friends would complain about the lack of quick service at the end of the night and suggest another bar for next time. Then they would go on and on about how bar service sucked compared to where they were from. I was a bit put off. And explaining the concept to them was a waste of my time. I don't bar hop with them anymore.

Most pubs inthe UK don't allow tipping. Bartenders will politely refuse the tip.
