How Much Do You Tip a Barperson

In an English pub in England?

It used to be 10 pence, no matter the size of the order. Some tipped, some didn’t. If someone told you to have one yourself, you put 10 pence in a jar. I’m wondering how much it’s changed.

Call me direct I suppose but, were it me, I'd lean back in my chair and ask another patron, explaining you were visiting and unaware of how it works.
I'm perfectly willing to, I certainly want to leave on decent terms.

I do that when I’m in a foreign country, but I’m asking to see if it’s changed since I lived and worked there. Apparently, it had. They don’t tip bar staff anymore, like they used to back in my day. @Freeranger

@Carissimi Ah, well then, if anything I suppose it's the ago old observation that nothing lasts forever and that everything is subject to change.

I’m surprised that tipping the barman/barmaid went by the wayside. @Freeranger
