Also, in extreme circumstances, I like to go for the public shaming angle. There is a stigma towards non-tippers as being cheap, so I can have some fun with that. That girl who may have gone home with you. She probably won't now that I loudly ask you to put a total under the tip line that you dashed out on your cc receipt. I understand 100$ + dash equals 100 $, but you never know, I could have some credit card fraud system worked out. It is best that you put down a total so I can't mess with it.
Also, say you come to the bar with your friends after making a fifty dollar drink order that consists of various combinations of citrus garnish, requests detailing the number of splashes of 7up, and perhaps just a cube or 2 less ice. I hope for your sake that you tipped me. For my sake, I hope you didn't, because the 10 dollars is not worth the same as being able to ask a group of people, 'Oh, so you are with picky b*tch-no-tip?' and then move onto the next customer. The looks on people's faces are priceless.
With a fantastic attitude like that I imagine that your career path has peaked at d-bag bartender. Congrats.
