How much do you tip at a restaurant? (lemmy.ml)

To those who live in or who have visited the United States.

Growing up in the 90's, the "minimum acceptable" tip was 10%, average was 15%, and a good tip was 20%. These days, I just round to the nearest dollar and tip 20%, but I've heard these days it's not unusual to tip up to 40%!

What do you usually do?

While your argument is sound, a server can't feed their children or care for disabled parents with sound arguments and principled stances.

Yeah the idea is ultimately that you help enable the system by participating. Ultimately nothing changes by a couple cheap assholes refusing to tip like this guy, so you should, it would only work if everyone decided not to. It would force the industry to adapt.
