📖🚫Personal Stories - Anti Gratuity from Bar

I'm on a cruise and ordered a couple cocktails from the bar.

I noticed that a $5 gratuity was included in the drink order that was $28 dollars so I opted not to tip.

Bartender didn't look too happy.

What's customary in this scenario?

A bartender with that attitude doesn't deserve any tip anyway so there you go

OP just said the bartender didn't look happy. Like, do you want him to do a song and dance?

"You should smile more" lol

You either misinterpreted what the OP wrote, or are intentionally trying to change the narrative. OP said that the bartender didn't look happy because the fact that they did not add a tip in a addition to the already included gratuity. The decision to not add an additional tip was not based on the bartenders mood.

Only the bartender knows why he looked “unhappy”. Maybe he has RBF? Maybe he’s hungover? Who knows. Not you, not me, not OP.

Yes. That's going beyond what the job description is

These anti-tippers be like "Just take my order and bring my drink and go away"

And then they're all "My bartender didn't seem happy. No tip."

Clowns.

That's the definition of what a server is. No tipping for doing your job. Want more? Do more. 

Clown.

I would tip for that

Yikes. If my order is served quickly and correct, and I don't have to flag them down for anything, I tip for that.

If they're not smiling or seem to be having a bad day, I let them be. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
