A polite way to avoid a tip, I have found is to just say "I'll put it on plastic at the check desk"
Must admit it would feel odd to have to pay an inclusive tip now.
I don't mind tipping, would always do it in the UK, but, when at the bar, would usually just tip into a tip jar at the end of the night rather than over here the bar staff expecting the rest of the note to be left as a tip...which can make it bloomin' expensive
