Re: Rave: Getting hooked up at bars
I will toss someone a free dessert if something happened wrong during their meal, occasionally. I give a free drink or two to bar customers if they are good people and sit with me for decent period. Some regulars that tip especially well get free drinks here and there from me.
For the most part, I agree with haltz that you're better off just getting the check higher and giving flawless service.

Re: Rave: Getting hooked up at bars
My buddy who owns a pub has the following policy with comps/employees (bartenders/waitstaff):
1. New Employees get 1 comp per night. They must alert my buddy before they comp, then when the night is over my buddy goes through that comp, their bill, and talks to the employee as to why they chose that person or group and why they were right/wrong.
2. Standard employees get 3 comps per night (usually after 6 months but depends on employee).
3. Special employees get as many as they want. 3 have acheived that status in 3 years and my buddy says none have ever abused it.
My buddy says that the employees feel empowered to decide who gives freebees and the established system ensures that they are not giving out too many drinks. You disobey the system, and your fired on the spot. He said he can prove the comps add to his business and has been told by customers that this is a reason they return to the establishment.
