If you have a regular bartender (or several) in your local watering hole, they're probably hooking you up. A free drink every once in a while, or maybe they forget to add one or two to your tab. Tip them well. A little Christmas bonus can also be a nice gesture that will be well appreciated.

so then the owner makes less?

Does the owner make less enough to make a big impact to his monthly salary? How much does the owner really take home and would he miss a few pints here and there?

You can talk about principles etc..but the business is nothing without regular customers and the staff to serve them.

You mean the law? It's straight up theft.

Just because the owner has taken on a shit load of liability which results in a higher income doesn't make it ok to skim off their business and success.
