Do you still tip 18-20% in this case?

This was a conveyor belt sushi/hot item place and the only service was water glasses and tea brought once. I tipped more than 20% by the way. But what is the recommended norm in America for this?
You paid too much. 10-15% would've been fine.



As for calculating tax, just download a Tip calculator app onto your iPhone or Android device. I pretty much just enter the tab, set the tip rate, round off to the nearest dollar and I'm out of there.
