$15 for a pint of Guinness?

$15 for a free Guinness.

It was a fund raiser.

The money didn't go towards the fund.

It's complicated.

Brace yourself Kermit , another fundraiser tonight and a different waitress brought me over a free Guinness that she'd poured by mistake , a well deserved $15 in her pocket from me

She's obviously not that bright if she only brought you one. I'd be bringing you "free" Guinness's all night...

This is something that comes up periodically and seems to befuddle British people, especially when in the US.

A new article today in Bloomberg is a useful guide to tipping in North America, and basically reflect what I normally do myself, and most of the people I know:
