I agree you don't tip tickets, but in the US tipping bartenders per drink is pretty standard. So is tipping if you get food brought out to you by a server... with the caveat that usually this goes along with paying after you eat, which maybe isn't the case here and might lead to no tipping.

I do agree a movie theater is an unusual place to complain about tips, and even though distributing them via prepaid card is complete scumfuckery, it's not the central problem.

Actually, this kind of relates to the example in the article -- spending $100+ on tickets and food/drinks and only tipping $2. If the drinks only made up, say $20 of that, then a $2 tip is not unreasonable. That works out to 10% tip, which I think is acceptable for the amount of service provided.

Yep, agree with you.
