So I totally agree that tipping is getting out of control, but when I worked as a server, I was required to tip out my bartender 10% of my alcohol sales. So for your $45 worth of wine, I had to give the bartender $4.50. I also had to tip out the busser a portion of my total sales, but I forget what that number was.

Nowadays, I just avoid businesses that rely on tipping as much as possible.

Thanks for the perspective, I wasn't too far off since I would have tipped $3. I'll take 10% as the baseline going forward.
