Earlier today The Knot shared this link on Facebook about proper tipping. I found it pretty interesting and for the most part I agree with it. But it got me thinking, how do most UNH students tips at the bars on campus? When paying with cash, for the most part my friends and will leave an extra dollar per drink order, or sometimes depending on the type of drink or special. For example, if it's dollar drink night I'll order two wells and leave three dollars. Or two, two dollar drinks and I'll leave a 5. If I know it is going to be a long night, I may take a order off without tipping, but I'm always sure to let the bartender know I'll get them back on my next order. Usually when I do this I'll order a beer in a bottle or can. If it's a mixed drink or a beer on tap I'm always sure to leave something.
If I'm keeping a tab I usually use the old trick of doubling the sales tax or as the blogger pointed out, moving the decimal over and doubling. (Ex $25.00 becomes 2.50 x 2 = a $5 tip).
Anyways, I'd like to know the tipping habits of other UNH students when they go out downtown. I know some people tip differently during specials like beat the clock or dollar drink nights. Comment below or send me a tweet to let me know your tipping habits. If you're a lousy tipper you can always comment anonymously here.

Partying, parting, YEAH!
Hello Nonsensical Nation, sorry for not posting yesterday. I had a pretty hectic morning with homework (by that I mean laundry and emptying the dishwasher) and classes and then, well, it was Thursday evening, let's see if I can work my way through that...
5PM: I am out of class and meet friends at Stillings
5:35: Start two page discussion paper on reading I hadn't read
5:37: Decide to go to Beat the Clock at Ballards at 7
6:25: Halfway done... "Fuck this paper, I'll finish it in the morning." We'll do it live!
6:30: Shower (calm down ladies.)
6:45: Two shots of whiskey
6:50: Screwdriver with two shots
6:55: Shotgun a Bud Light
7:15 Arrive at Ballards
7:20 to 8:30 (ish?) Two rum and cokes. Five whiskey cokes... Beat the Clock = Old Crow whiskey (like the bottom of bottom shelf). Finally get to sit outside at Ballards (a little chilly, but not bad) something I've looked forward to since freshman year. We saw a kid get pulled over and arrested for drunk driving... on a scooter. I don't think he even made it out of the parking lot.
9: Friends apartment. Several screwdrivers
11ish? Get to Libby's. Stay until they closed and then DHOP for a while.
2:30AM: Bed.
7:45: Woken up because my friend needed her car to be pushed and she was gonna be late to an appointment. (Sidebar: one of my roommates and another friend helped too.)
8:45: back to bed
8:47: dry heaving in bathroom. Drink water.
9: Back to bed.
10: Alarm goes off. 30 more minutes.
10:30: Finally get up.
10:45: Resume the paper
11:05: Finish paper (super speed bullshitting required)
11:10: Shower (seriously ladies, control yourselves)
11:30 Eat.
11:45 Decide to hand in my paper to my professors mailbox (that class is at 1PM)
12:00: Make it to my first class.
12:15: Professor wants to show a movie, doesn't work. Dismisses us at 12:25.
12:26: Winning. Wildcat blood. Weekend time.
12:45: ATM... Let's do it again!
Stay classy, not UMassy.
PS: Sorry for that title, I just showed one of my roommates that song, he had never heard it before. So bad. So terribly bad, but I love how bad it is.
