I agree bar staff shouldnt play machines in there pub but be honest, if any of us actually worked wouldnt you do the same? When i helped my friend out at a truck cafe i made sure i ripped the machine!

Apart from getting lucky with a good deal or a GATW barman just fill it up.

I must be the only player in the country who actually tips Wetherspoons bar staff. Give these people a break, they earn peanuts.

I've tried to explain this before somewhere, but basically staff can either be your friends or your enemies, it's really just up to you to decide which. I find it always works out better for me having them as friends where possible.

^This!! I recall tipping a staff member £30 one day during the Xmas period (Had rolled 3 out of the Alien in there and really wanted to keep it sweet!) That £30 was turned into many more results from that machine. (The fact she had stunning baps was not taken into account when considering this gesture, of course...)

Also the offer of a pint to any barstaff helps ease the tension - and makes future visits more manageable (not always, but can help...)

I tip certain Wetherspoons and other pubs too.
That way, I'm less likely to be barred whereas others will be.

Plus they tell me when a player has been in and their description.

All cloak & dagger from now on!

Trying to get on first name terms is a good one, add to this to buying them the odd drink makes them feel guilty about barring you.

The Dark Horses Tips on Tipping-

1) Never tip the fitty with the huge baps. She gets tipped all the time, barely acknowledges your tip, and thinks you're just another perve who's only tipping her because she's fit (which you are!).

2) Never tip any staff member individually, it can backfire on you and breed jealousy with other staff members, I always say; "Put this in your staff tip jar", that way it's shared evenly between the staff.

3) Always try to do it in front of a manager, or better still, to a manager. Even if the don't like you they will respect you for looking after their staff.

4) Tip smaller amounts, but more often, I used to tip scores and now I only tip fivers and tenners but regularly enough to be noticed by most staff.

5) Tipping around Christmas time is great but it has less of the desired effect, staff members are often tipped regularly over the Christmas period. I actually tip less around Christmas time (call me Scrooge!) because the pubs are much busier and there's much less fire in general thanks to a bit of Christmas spirit.

It's good to see other members realise that tipping in chain pubs can be a profitable move in the long run. If more players tried to befriend their staff, instead of just hoping they won't notice them, there would be less fire in the game in general and a better work enviroment for everyone. Remember, in chain pubs the young kid at the bar today is often the manager of tomorrow, training them to be your allie from day one is always a good thing.

I epically failed at the first hurdle then... ...Nah, she's a good friend now which is handy - advises me of *cough* 'in's and out's' over the previous few days, etc. Even pops out for a drink now and then.
