WOW you tip your barmen, I thought all us barpeople deserved was abuse and violence. When i worked for the biggest chain of pubs in scotland (scottish and newcastle) as a manager we had to keep check on every shot (25ml just under 1oz) and the auditor only allowed you one missing shot per dozen bottles. If through spills, over-pours or staff stealing drinks you were down a bottle you as manager got charged the full price for the replacement bottle and i don't mean how much the bottle costs but the by the shot amount so a missing bottle of vodka could cost me £60 to replace. No wonder the chain i worked with was the largest, the tight fisted bastards.
