While I see your point of not wanting to tip because the bartender on duty wasn't the one that gave you your drinks, it's important to remember that people in the hospitality industry only make federal minimum wage pay. They rely on these tips as a source of their income, and you deprived this woman of some $5 just based on your so-called principles. Your principle should've been "well, this woman didn't serve me and I don't see why I should tip her; but I am aware that this woman only makes $7.25 an hour doing what she does so I will give her that $5."

She had every right to give you an attitude because you were giving her that in the first place. Honestly, if I were the manager, I would've asked you to never return to the establishment because you created an unsafe environment for my employees and they don't need that working in the hospitality industry. It's already stressful enough as it is and it's only going to get worse as the summer and election cycle approaches.
