Bartender Tipping Experience

Simply put, you stole drinks.  There is no ethical question. You knowingly took things without paying. That's stealing. The bartender made you complicit in his stealing.

 

The first time the bartender didn't charge me for drinks I had, I would have quietly said: "I think you miscounted. I actually had 3 drinks, not one."  That would tell the bartender that you were not going along with his scheme to steal from his employer and enrich himself.

 

And how exactly is he enriching himself?

 

If he charged for your drinks, and kept the cash paid, then yes.  But on a charge?

never happened to me.

 

There again, it would be difficult to put extra beer into an already full beer glass.😁
