I do refuse to pay anything more than 15% and that is only if the person serving me was really good, other than that, I still keep it to 10% and not more.
In my opinion, this whole tipping thing is just becoming absurd, it seems these days it is more of a politically correct form of bribe.
Cheers!
Don’t get out much, do you? 18% has been the norm for a couple of decades. And if you had ever had to work for $2.25 an hour you wouldn’t be such a tipping snob. Don’t want to tip? Either stay home or convince the restaurant managers to pay their staff a living wage.
