    Only thing that stands out to me is the percentages you’ve listed. I was always taught (and most of my peers seem to have been as well) that the normal tip for average service was 15%. Poor service (that is in the waiter’s control) gets 10%, and good/great is 18-22% (but usually 20%).

    I was born in the early 90s if it makes a difference.

      Varies regionally. For example, San Francisco techies should be tipping 20% (for typical sitdown service).

      It used to be that way, but now standard is 20%.

      I was also taught that egregious service (like bigoted remarks from the waitstaff or getting told to go fuck yourself) gets 1¢ to assure you aren’t just someone who doesn’t tip
