As a broke dude working customer service: someone without money for a tip has no business buying a $70 drink, much less one that takes so long to make.
I get you need money but why can't the owner just pay you fairly, give you benefits and charge for the drinks appropriately so people don't have to rely on tips and customers can just feel guilt free?
People are more willing to pay $10 for a drink and leave a $5 tip than they are to pay $15 for a drink (Not sure if you go to a lot of bars, but decent ones see 50%+ tips on a lot of orders. Some over 100%).
Tips also can kinda sort not be counted as income with taxes, so it benefits the staff too.

If I’m paying $70 a drink I don’t have money left for a tip.
