      The standard I grew up with was 15%. Excellent service got 20%. Subpar service got 10%. Horrible service got 0%.

        And that was paid AFTER you actually had service. I’m not tipping up front when I don’t know what kind of food/service I’m getting. So many places are asking for a tip when you pay for a drink/meal that they just call out your name/number. You’re not even bringing me the food, you’re just making it and slapping it on a counter. What am I tipping for? You making the food? Isn’t that why you get paid? Servers that bring you food and take your orders I get because they’re being shafted on wages from stupid bullshit laws.

      Honestly, when did the “standard” become 20 %?? I was used to the “standard” being 10 %, and then someone went around acting like it was 15, now 20… people do realise that the tips increase linearly with inflation when you keep the tip percentage constant… right?
