Here is the minimum wage for tipped and untipped employees in each state.

I would hope that no one is encouraging people to look for faults in a meal. I personally tip 15% by default, and only reduce it if service was significantly subpar, which happens perhaps 10% of the time.
Yup,about on a par with my tipping standards.
I dropped a 25% tip on a meal last week because it was so good, the waiter performed superbly despite the restaurant being understaffed and I had most of the second bottle of red.😁
But I see no point in,lemming-like,handing my hard-earned moolah over to someone who patently isn't working hard enough.
Maybe some people have lower expectations or are simply too timid to speak their mind when confronted with crap service.
