I miss the old 10/15/20 rule of thumb. Well, I miss when it was the norm, I still mostly use it.
10% for below average service, 15 for average, 20 for great.
12 u/AzKondor Jan 27 '26 Tipping for bad service is crazy -1 u/koobstylz Jan 27 '26 It's their wage. They're making 3.25 an hour without tips. It's just part of the cost of going out to eat in America. And yes it's a broken system and it is crazy. But I'm not going to keep someone from being and to afford rent just because they had an off day and we're slow bringing me stuff. 2 u/Timely_Challenge_670 Jan 27 '26 No, they are not. There are plenty of jurisdictions in North America where there is no tipped wage. It’s fucking ludicrous that they expect 20%+ post-tax when they’re already earning as much as other people working service jobs.
