I learnt this from working in a pub during my student days. If someone bought me a drink, I looked out for them for the rest of the night to make sure they got served quickly.

I've tried doing that here, but stopped because I think it was just sending the wrong message. More often than not I just got a snarky response from the server/bartender, my guess is they assume you're hitting on them and are actually asking them to come sit with you and drink
