Those US lounges where the bar attendant has no interest in you other than how much you are going to tip, especially if you are on an international flight and have a voucher for a drink there as this terrifies them that they won't get a full tip (US domestic passengers have to pay, even in the lounge, there being no such thing as self-serve drinks as in the rest of the world). The tip dish is slammed down in front of you with such force that the adjacent peanuts jump out of their bowl.

If you do tip in a manner they judge adequate, when your drink is 85% gone it is suddenly snatched away from under your nose with a "Wannanotherone ?". Which of course means "I wannanothertip".

American Admiral's Club at Miami without a doubt the worst offender.
