not completely broke, but almost certainly have less money than everyone else there. Was a holiday party for institutional investors in Atlanta and was mostly 35-50 year old bankers, traders, and sales people.

It was completely open bar. At one point someone ordered a bunch of $20 (guessing, he said "the most expensive tequila you have") shots and sent half of them back because not enough people wanted them. Getting good drinks was a non-issue.

she had the look of "I dont think we're supposed to take tips in this situation" rather than "I don't want it" so I probably should've used a different phrase. I just thought it was standard to tip, but at this specific event it was definitely not.
