Secondly, it's extremely rude to not tip whatsoever. If you don't want to tip, don't drink. Don't bitch about the price of booze being more at the bar, because that's where they make their money. You're not paying the extra dollar to the bartender, you're paying it to the bar owner. If you can't afford to tip, then you probably shouldn't be spending your money on booze in the first place.
As an (out of work) bartender myself, you guys are quite pissing me off with the whole 'automatic tipping' debate. I detest going out with people who are shitty tippers. I've chipped in $20 on my $15 of the bill, and seen the total end up as $65 on $60... cheap fucks, and I let them know.
If it's shit service, complain, or don't leave a good tip, but otherwise, TIP YOU CHEAP BASTARDS!

YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally someone agrees with me!
Just as you remember your shitty service because you didn't tip, the bartender remembers that too. Im tellin ya, tip well on your first drink/round/whatever and the bartender will remember you and (most likely) treat you like gold. It may be shitty but it's the way life works. You must make yourself stand out if you would like to be recognized.
And just like MCED said, if you cant afford to tip, DON'T DRINK in bars/clubs.
