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?
If my food sucks and the service was good, I tip them specifically in cash and tell them not to mention it, so it looks like I didn’t tip to the restaurant but it doesn’t screw the wait staff. It also makes the restaurant pay just a tiny bit more in payroll.
