Tipping is the one question I get a lot. It seems like there are so many sources that give all different advice when it comes to gratuities.
…
Today, I share with you etiquette for gratuities:

Bartenders: If the gratuity is not already figured into your venue/catering pricing, 10% of the total liquor bill is appropriate to be split among all of the bartenders.
…
Restroom Attendants: $1-2 Per Guest
…
