Of all these the only thing I do is tip well. When you treat the help right, they will often times be more loyal to you than to the management. From tipping well, I've had the following experiences. 1. I was out at a bar with a bunch of friends maybe 8 or 10 of us and we had been tipping her pretty well for about 45 minutes. I told the waitress she looked like she was from the 1880's. A couple witty banter exchanges later, I convinced her to give us shots for 'two bits', which is a quarter, but she interpreted it as being two quarters. I wasn't going to complain and we got shots for the rest of the night for fifty cents. I had never been in this bar by the way. 2.I was out at one of the nicest restaurants in town with my new girlfriend of few weeks and her friends. I had tipped one waitress pretty well a few times earlier. I got up out of my seat and approached her privately and told her that one of my girlfriends friends was having her birthday tonight. Her friend was really into pink princessy stuff and wondered if she could bring her a drink. She brought out this giant glittery goblet drink thing on a plate drizzled in iceing with whipcream all over. My girlfriend and her friend were impressed. 2. The same waitress above and my girlfriend and I went out on a beer tasting trip. I knew the couple three beers I was interested in trying, but my girlfriend didn't. So my girlfriend got to taste all the beers in the place that she wanted before she ordered her beer. From my experiences tipping well is really what you should focus on.
