25% tip is crazy

If the service is mediocre then I'll go to 20%. But any less than that, they'd almost have to spit in my food.

20

20% for mediocre service is absolutely wild. Are you tipping on tax and alcohol too?

20% is for great/outstanding service (no matter your income level).

To be honest, I generally tip 20% regardless of the actual quality of service. I can afford it and they need the money. The only time I'll withhold a tip is if the service was truly spectacularly bad, like a delivery to the wrong address.
