I totally get that some guy might sit at the bar and have you solve all his problems for him...he should tip. Me walking up and buying a beer though?
I accidentally tipped a guy $0.12 yesterday. I say accidentally because I meant to tip zero, but the ridiculous debit machine wouldn't let me past the screen. I hate the tip option being everywhere now.

I understand why you wouldn't feel the need to tip on two beers. I mean, all I really do is turn around and grab two beers, open them, tell you how much it is, smile, and make your change.
If this is how you feel, I'm likely not going to convince you that you should give me a dollar per drink, but that would be about standard.
If you don't tip in that situation though, no one is going to jump down your throat. Just don't do it ten times in a night. I mean, I know it doesn't sound like much, but I pay a quarter to serve you those two beers. It is a culture thing too... the bartender, rightly or wrongly, is the last person you want to be annoying in a bar. Not that getting two tipless beers would elicit any real annoyance... tipping 12 cents might though...
