#3 Q1: is tipping the bartender required at the hotel bar, and if so, what is the normal percentage ?

Q2: do you recommend scarfing up the free bar snacks whenever you can as a good way to stretch your per diem ?

Q3: do you write your copy after carefully checking the facts by ensuring that there are 2 corroborating journalists in the bar ? Or 3 ?
