This was 10min into me coming in and I had ordered one beer so far. She acted really offended that I said keep it going. "Come on its just a beer"... I eventually closed it and tipped her 9 cents (rounded up). Felt like a little bit of an ******* but the whole thing was ridiculous.
I understand if I've been there for an hour or whatever but I don't close out after one beer.
Nope you did right, in places I go semi regular I'll tip out staff that I like if their shift is ending and they did all the work.
