Should I tip for a free drink?

t.,

having been the best man at two weddings and i've had to (again, as custom) pony up for this expense each time. one guy even included the tip! so not only were people stuffing ones in his cup, he included his gratuity (buried in the invoice), and he left a line on the bill for additional "love"!!!

it is urgent and key that Felicity and I bond over Yakov Smirnoff asap

One Smirnoff on ice for me, and one for my friend, please.

"bond"

"over"

ok fine, "make fun of." happy, Y-pants?

"pants"

*KISS*

That does sound devious, gygax. I suppose those situations are worked out pretty thoroughly beforehand so no one gets the wrong idea and no one gets screwed (except of course you). But at an open bar at a club or a bar I always assume the bartenders are just making the same thing they always do but that CERTAIN people harbor CERTAIN misconceptions about their compensation leaving certain others of us to take up the slack.
