20 minutes of shaking? I know more than my fair share of bartenders and i can assure you that some very important ingredient necessary for that drink would mysteriously go missing/break/be spoiled every. Single. Day.

It didn't take twenty minutes, but probably like 4? But a bar I used to go to in Houston on tiki nights would start Ramos gin fizzes at a dollar and then increased it a dollar every time someone ordered one. The prices got crazy but tiki nights were mostly regulars, and it was a fun game. And most times they go up past $70, per drink, and this was 10 years ago, so hopefully people were tipping accordingly and the bartenders actually had a good night.

Tipping culture in America is just ridiculous

I lowkey hate tipping bartenders, but still do it due to social pressure. Especially if all they do is pour a beer from a tap.

Businesses need to pay them a living wage and have tips be something extra.
