No tip — no service.
A Michigan-based bartender has sparked a furious debate for a TikTok revealing he refuses to serve customers who don’t tip.
The mixologist — who only goes by Roman on the app — frequently shares bartending tips and stories with his more than 12,000 followers.
In a recent clip — which has been viewed more than 400,000 times — he addressed tipping etiquette and how he deals with it.
“When you don’t tip, we tell the other bartenders who’s not tipping so we don’t go to you,” he shared, before listing the percentage breakdown and what kind of service it will get you.
“I’m not saying that you have to tip a lot, but you tip at least 10%, we’ll come to you,” he explained in the 21-second clip.
“You tip 20% or more, we’re going to make sure we get to you,” the bartender continued.
“If you tip more than 50%, I will RKO [knock out] whoever the f–k is in front of you and make sure you get served,” he joked. “How’s that sound?”
Roman’s followers were divided over his advice.
“I enjoy watching the bartenders skip over s–t tippers and come to me because I’m also in the industry and take care of my people,” one TikTok user agreed.
“So this is why I get served extremely fast — I always tip 40-50%,” added another person.
Others were less impressed with his advice.
“You want a good tip? Then give good service,” one user snarked.
“That’s crazy I already paid $10 for a beer. You want an additional $5 for every beer,” another unhappy customer wrote.
In March, a New York City server went viral after sharing how she deals with non-tippers — by directly addressing the matter.
“Hi sir/ma’am, I see you didn’t leave a tip,” she said in the video, acting out the conversation. “Is there anything I could improve on with the service that you feel like you could share with me?”
According to the server, most customers will come up with an excuse as to why they didn’t leave a tip — and a lot of the time they will end up leaving one, she claimed.
